This game goes along with all the good games (including all of the Final Fantasy series)! I've never played the first one, but I hope to. This game was excellent, the plot, characters, everything. But, if you want to get all that the game has to offer, I suggest you buy the game guide first. I am a total FPG freak, I love playing them. I garuntee you'll love this game.

this game was too slow

I have the patience to spend hours making items in Star Ocean, but I don't have the patience to deal with this game. I got bored so quickly that I eventually just stopped playing and sold it back. There were no mini-games to distract you from the boring story line, and there just wasn't much to do other than go straight through. I need a little diversity in the RPGS that I play, and this one just didn't have it. I am also not a fan of games where you have to angle the screen just right to be able to trigger events or to get items. Some of the features were interesting, such as the different tools each character used, but I just couldn't stay interested in this game.

First the worst, Second the Best!!!!!!!!!

Well.....I'm a die-hard fan of 'WILD ARMS' , but this game was acceptable. You see, I'm obsessed with the animation sequence from the first Wild Arms, and I just adore the characters (Rudy,Jack,and Cecilia.) I especially like Rudy:) But the Animation sequence,characters,and story line do not impress me in this game as much as they did in the original.Well other than that, I have no complaints:) Hey, it wasn't so bad! I love all RPG games! Thank you!

Not as good as the first....

I will admit, this is a great game, but it lacks in certin areas. In WA the characters had there own history and where eventualy brought together by fate. In this game the characters are brought together by a nobleman so the can fight a terorist group known as ODESSA. The story development is also poor. This game lacks the intricit storyline of the first game. But all in all it is a pretty grate game. But I recomend the first game over this one you can purchase it on this site also

Not quite a sequel

this was a very enticing game .Didn't live up to the first one but had nice additions.Such as, bosses with multiple parts destroying one could disable an attack.The search to find cities,dungeons and treasure added a twist.Finally dungeon puzzles are harder more of a challenge. All around a great game

Somehow reminds me of traditional RPGs

When you look at the instruction manual it seems as though three characters are the only characters you can control through to the end. In a lot of other RPGs, characters other than main ones are considered as 'sub-characters' and they usually stay in your party for certain length. But instead, so-called 'sub's are as important to the game as the main ones.

I thought the game captured a lot of human dramas such as 'love', 'trust', 'friendship' and 'importantce of each individual'. I really liked the way each character's personality was revealed and developed throughout the game. This includes finding out about their own identity, strengths and weaknesses, what friends are for and many others.

In terms of gameplay, it is reletively easier than the first WA. 3D rotation enables you to view the map from different angles which helps to find hidden secrets. This concept is very similar to Dragon Warrior 7.

I found puzzles very easy and hardly had any trouble getting through any of them. I think the puzzles from WA1 are lot harder and clever than WA2.

Music is slightly better than the last one, but it still sounds repeatitive especially when you are solving puzzles. Animated movies are played each time you load the game, which are different depending on which disc you are on.

Personal skills are very useful when you are struggling with certain bosses but they are relatively easy to beat. The other new feature is a player can decide whether or not to go into battles with some exceptions. This can be very useful when you want to get through the dungeon or get to certain places more quickly but the downside of it is, it can become a bad habbit, therefore you may need to spend a quite a lot of time building up your characters.

It is very shameful that the game does not support analog controller, although it could make things a little bit more difficult at certain spots.

This game has very good storyline and the gameplay is easy to learn. Just keep in mind that this was released in 1997 in Japan, so do not expect great graphics.
