   Why do you have one of the best stories you dressed for being a cult game? There are games that beat many well-known games.

   I knew that fans who already played the japanese version were stating that this sequel was even better than the first episode - and after playing it myself I can easily understand why.
   
   As usual with Spike Chunsoft games, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is essentially a visual novel.
   Expect lots of reading, but despite a not exactly "top class" translation the dialogues and writing is captivating and definitely interesting.
   The pacing of the story is great, gradually ramping up until a finale that left me with my jaw open. The last part of the game is really something that must be experienced. The first game is known for its plot-twists, but the sequel blows that game out of the water. You will not expect what's going to happen, and this is good.
   
   Having played the first game, Trigger Happy Havoc, is requirement if you want to fully understand and appreciate the whole storyline. The developers are expecting the players to be up to speed concerning the plot of the series, so do yourself a favor and get both games if you can.… Expand

You will laugh (especially at the wonderful Usami who's voice work is brilliant) and cry at the many, MANY emotional parts in the game. The voice work is great for all the characters. The art is amazing with well drawn characters who are very well developed and easy to relate to. The story keeps you guessing with a massive twist that will blow your mind. The cases are not too hard to solve if you really think about it as even in hard mode you have unlimited tries. The only things that is affected is your score. The music is catchy and compliments the drama and comedy of the game.
   
   This game is up there with my other favourite game, Persona 4 Golden, in terms of gameplay and story. The only thing I detest about this game is the obvious exploitation of its female cast (except the bit where its important the the case). They didn't need to show skin to make this game great and it put me off a couple of times. The random shower scene was unneeded and inappropriate. The first one had no obvious exploitation and it was still great.
   
   Still 10/10 though as I never got bored.… Expand

Of course, at the time I had no knowledge that the anime was actually based on a visual novel, and after being convinced by some positive reviews, I decided to check it out. Naturally, I proceeded to play Despair Island as the first game was the equivalent of the anime. To my surprise, it didn't just have the amusing flair of the anime it also contained a substantial amount of depth and quality. Not only was the story well-written and intriguing, but it also caught me off guard with the complexity of its murder trials. Every time I thought I knew who the culprit was but would be utterly wrong and embarrassed by the end of it. The ending of the story doesn't disappoint either, and you will be almost immediately compelled to play the upcoming Danganropa v3 game. In short, Danganropa is a must play for anyone especially for those (like me) who have never played a visual novel before.… Expand

   An insane finale doesn’t make up for the painful amount of filler. The trials are always great, but getting to them is frustrating. If someoneAn insane finale doesn’t make up for the painful amount of filler. The trials are always great, but getting to them is frustrating. If someone sees a gun on the ground, you have to click through 30 lines of "Huh? Is that? Wha? What’s he looking at? I don’t know...huh?" before someone says "It’s a gun on the ground."
   
   The characters are just as memorable as the ones from the first game, but the pacing is absolutely brutal. Still glad I played it, though.… Expand
