    God Eater 2: Rage Burst is the perfect alternative to a game like Monster Hunter. It may take a while to get into and a lot of information is thrown at you right from the start to turn off any player, but for those who stick with it will find a very rewarding experience both for hardcore and casual players.

    Good sequels strike a balance between reproducing familiar systems and introducing new features. Rage Burst shares many similarities with Resurrection, to the degree that you wouldn’t be blamed for mistaking the former for an expansion pack of the latter at a glance. But Rage Burst is bolstered by a beefed-up combat system and scores of stylish, powerful loot, making frequent, sometimes repetitive questing, more enjoyable than it was in Resurrection.

    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.

    Simply a great game, and it’s a shame that it’s taken this long for it to make it to the West. As a PS4 release, its simplistic graphics are unlikely to wow anybody, but the fast-paced combat, enjoyable characters and compelling crafting make for an experience you’ll want to come back to time and time again.

    God Eater 2: Rage Burst arrives belatedly in the west market. Despite the age, the title is still enjoyable and fun, thnaks to a huge offer in terms of missions and game modes.

    God Eater 2: Rage Burst’s gameplay is driven by a bevy of missions, some great enemies and a variety of different, interesting loadouts to help make the experience fun and somewhat deep. The shortcomings are outweighed by these positives, though those shortcomings come in the form of linear landscapes, plain graphics and difficult controls.

    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.

    God Eater 2 Rage Burst offers the best experience of the whole franchise. Not only does it have an abnormal amount of customization, it is also dynamic in its story. Although the graphics are outdated, the game is still able to amaze you.

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.    … Full Review »

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.… Full Review »

If you have played Freedom Wars, Toukiden or Monster Hunter this might be a game you like. I'll be honest, I dislike the graphics, it could easily have looked better but gameplay wise this game is great.

    The story and characters are ok. The only I really can't stand is the voices in English. I would have liked it if there was an option to play the game with Japanese voices.    … Full Review »
