    God Eater 2 Rage Burst is a fantastic entry in the hunting genre for fans who want deep combat and a good story to keep you invested along the way.

    With a lot of content, God Eater 2 : Rage Burst is a very good Action-RPG game, but it heavily suffers from it's visuals. Looks like it's a PS Vita Port with a few HD textures thrown at it.

    It is far superior to its original PSP version, but it only takes a small step as a sequel. The series needs to take a leap if it wants to compete. Fans should definitely pick this up, but newcomers would be better off testing the waters with God Eater Resurrection first.

    God Eater 2: Rage Burst proves that without a shadow of a doubt, the series deserves a home on the console. The great depth, compelling combat and interesting enemies provide an fantastic counterpoint to the Monster Hunter brand, while also providing an exciting new sandbox for players to explore. Unfortunately, there are plenty of shortcoming associated with mediocre port work that prevent this iteration from fulfilling its full potential.

    A good action RPG with a great customization system and fun battles. But God Eater Rage Burst can be repetitive and it has a poor technical section.

    The story is mostly just window dressing for a mission-based grind-‘em-up.

    For anyone interested in the monster-hunting genre and is considering buying this game, ignore the negative scores. Nintendo fans, out ofFor anyone interested in the monster-hunting genre and is considering buying this game, ignore the negative scores. Nintendo fans, out of salt, have decided to bash this game. I have seen the Nintendo community encouraging members to give this game a bad review without even knowing a thing about this series. Truly pathetic and a disservice to the hard work that has gone into this game. The following top reasons:

    1) It wasn't released on any of their consoles.

    2) It is superior to any of the Monster Hunter titles thus far.

    3) is has been far more creative and original than anything MH, and while it doesn't have maybe the depth that MH has, there is plenty to keep users busy and formulate thousands of builds and setups.

    Look, I love any game under the monster-hunting genre, and as someone who has played pretty much everything out there, I can say this game is solid and easily 8+/10.

    Fantastic soundtrack too and beautiful cinematic anime scenes.

    Buy it, and don't listen to the man children fanbase Nintendo has.

This game (and its predecessors) is every bit as good, if not better, than the MH series. I love MH but am increasingly irritated by Capcom and Nintendo's refusal to publish it on a full blown console. Like most grown adults, the tiny controls of the 3DS cramp my hands with action games. The God Eater series is an adequate, if not superior replacement for those who want to play on a real controller instead of one seemingly designed for children. Expand

    La historia es casi inexistente y la presentación es muy mejorable, pero si jugáis con tres amigos más tenéis horas y horas de diversión si os gusta este género, tanto con este como con la remasterización de la primera parte, en un título que nos deja con ganas de más y deseosos de ver un God Eater 3 desarrollado específicamente para la nueva generación.

    Eso si, si vuestra intención es jugarlo en solitario, este no es vuestro juego.

    While not a bad game it is mostly underwhelming. I like the characters but find the story not that great. Made even some correct predictionsWhile not a bad game it is mostly underwhelming. I like the characters but find the story not that great. Made even some correct predictions early on for some twists. While I liked the gameplay and battles it was a bit to easy especially earlier on. For clarification: I consider myself as average gamer. Also Toukiden is far superior in regard to this game. The God Eater franchise games are action adventures like Monster Hunter or Toukiden. You fight monsters here called Aragami and develop your character with equipment. You get items to forge better gear, improve your gear or add abilities aka improvements to it. The battles are separated into missions and you have a teammates that you can chose and also improve. There is more but this is just a set up. The story is set in an apocalyptic future. Mankind is heavily decimated as the Aragami have overrun the world. Those are nearly unbeatable by normal means. Only those gifted to wield God Arcs weapon can defeat the Aragami. Your main character that you can freely create passes the compatibility test and is introduced as newest member of the “Blood” unit an elite team. Here I stop to avoid spoilers. The story is not bad but I found it underwhelming. I foresaw even a few twists. It never grabbed me that much. The characters however are far better and I liked them. Presentation wise you see that it is an enhanced Vita game. I wont criticize this as it seems unfair. They did what they could and the graphics are not bad. The soundtrack is likable for me. Overall this was a small disappointment. The game could not grab me that much. I would recommend Toukiden Kiwami or Toukiden instead. Expand
