Please do10 to balance the negatives, but it still is an awesome game. I wish I knew about Magicka 1, I've wanted a game like this forever. Please do yourself a favor and give this a go if you're as wizard mad as me. Takes practice to get good since there are so many combinations and then still remembering them in battle takes time, but wow, very very cool experience.… Expand

Easily one of the most fun, and unique, games out there. It's lively fun, does not take itself overly seriously - but delivers a world you can escape in - it's challenging for gamers and casual players alike. If you have a library like mine of hundreds of games, this is a MUST PURCHASE. It does not have the replay value of games like shoot-em-ups, but it is worth the admission of a movie ticket - because you'll get more satisfaction and a lot more hours out of it than the best movies you've seen. If you can only afford 1 or 2 games and play all year, I would feel sorry that you're missing out, as the game play here is unique and FUN FUN FUN - something that many games miss out on as they just slightly modify well-known genres. This game is a GENRE almost all on its own. If you thought Naruto spell casting was awesome - this game is the logical version of it with regards to powers! To all whom have played the first and complained - I do not understand your complaints other than you played the other too recently and had false expectations. I absolutely LOVED the first one as well for many of the same reasons - and I found this one unique and fun by itself. If you thought Terminator 2 was supposed to resemble Terminator 1, or T3 the other 2, you are fooling yourself. Each is a unique experience and should be taken as such - you will gain the full experience and pleasure of it then, just as the very intelligent game developers intended. Before Magicka 1 I was working on a 3d version in CryEngine for power combinations like naruto and these.. I never got it launched, and I am more than happy that someone approximated what I wanted to do and in a top-down fashion. I have nothing bad to say as this is the top 1% of fun games available --- hands down.… Expand

   Somewhat short, fun co-op game. Nice humour here and there. Don't even bother playing it alone.

   Being a huge fan of the original Magicka with over 90 hours logged I had a certain expectation of quality. I have almost completed the game though I can tell that the changes made to the combat really ruined what made the original such a unique title. The new casting system is reliant on a gamepad and has cut out a huge amount of spell combinations.
   
   Magicka 2's casting system just seems really plain compared to the original, from what I gather they wanted to balance out the casting system by removing overpowered spells to make it more focused around identifying the weaknesses of particular enemies though now the combat feels incredibly slow paced and boring.
   
   As of writing this I'm 2/3 through the game, the story mode is significantly shorter. Thankfully the writing still maintains the quality it had in Magicka, and the graphics have been updated, but the pacing of the game is just disappointing overall. I hope that the DLCs improve the game though I seriously doubt they will change the core mechanics of the game which they have really gutted.… Expand

You have to press sequences of keys for EACH spell cast, and you simply forget those sequences. There is a lot of humor in the game as well but I didn't find it funny or smart.… Expand
