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.

fun at first, but the gameplay fades

WA2 is the funnest thing in the world at first, but the gameplay gradually fades. First of all, compared to games like FF8 the graphics are like Pong, I like the battle system a lot though. See, instead of having a limited amount of MP, as you attack, guard etc. and enemies attack you, your FP (no idea what this stands for) once you get a certain amount, you can cast spells and perform special abilites. Your characters also have 4 special abilites which can be used when your FP reaches a certain "level" This isn't another tactic, when your FP just reaches a certain number, one of the red things will light up to show that a level has been gained. There are three main characters must play solo quests (which the order is determained by you) before they meet up. I think Brad has the best story. Before I forget, there are many puzzles in the game, which will please or displease some gamers. The music and sound effects are pretty good. Overall, this isn't huge, only two discs, but it's worth a rent if you were a fan of the original or not.

Best ever RPG

I think that this is a great game. I don't usually like RPGs but this game is fun... My friend rented this game I played it and it is one of my favorite games. If your gonna get an RPG get this one. It has at least 4 character. THis game is a little hard... but that just makes it better so i would recomend this game over most others.

A great game!!

This game is a truly challenging game. The puzzles are challenging and the story line goes deep with plenty of secrets. All this and more is what, in my opinion, makes an extraodinary RPG. This game deserves appraisal from all serious RPG gamers.

This game is okay.

I picked this game up becuase I liked the first one A lot. I hoped that this game would live up to it's predecessor, but it did not. Almost nothing has changed with this game from the first one. There are only Two major changes. The first is with the way you find new dungeons. You have to use a search ability to be able to find them. I did find that a bit interesting. The other thing is that as you gain levels you get points you can put towards special skills, Such as one that increases your Hit points a bit more than usual each level you go up. While this is nice it doesn't help much that the battles are all very boring to fight. I swear I don't remember battles in the original being this boring. Also in order to do any special skills you use force points instead of magic points. To make boss battles a bit more interesting you can hit various parts of there bodies, which will usually prevent them from doing certain attacks. You also get more experience when the battle is over, but you can easily beat all of the bosses in the game without even having to bother with this. I did it on most of them, but later on there just didn't see to be any point to it. It just seemed to make the battles last longer. And I did not want that. Despite the boring battle system, the story is fairly interesting. But I felt the characters were not developed enough. The character dialogue really didn't seem to fit too well. Each charcter also like on the first one, have different abilities you must use to get through certain puzzles.Though, I really felt there were way too many puzzles in the game. I would say the best thing about this game is the music. A lot of it I found to be pretty good. This game has no connection to the first one in any way, except the fact that there is still something with the name ARMS in it. If you have not played the first one yet, you may appreciate it a bit more than I did. Just try not to get your expectations to high.

Really awesom

I wasn't expecting much when I started this game, but it's great. The plot really moves and keeps you going like a good novel. The battle system is great, and the puzzles well balanced. It's very difficult to find games as well designed, tested and playable as this one is!

New Addition To My Favorite List!!!

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.
