Fun Start ý Then It Gets Old Quick

I was really excited when I first got this game. It was fun and I looked forward to playing it. But then about 1/2 - 3/4's of the way in I got really tired trying to figure out some of the secrets of the rooms and even when I did it became more about becoming master of my controller-pushing the right buttons in the cleanest, fastest way so that I could actually jump, leap or hit my way correctly into the next sequence....YAWN..., not to mention tedious...It's one thing to be smart enough to figure out *how* to more on and it's another thing entirely when you know what you need to do and can't quite physically pull it off and have to keep trying...and trying...and trying...to get it done 'cause ya ain't go no choice! BLAH!

A GREAT RPG WITH REAL-TIME FIGHTING

I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF RPG'S SINCE THE RELEASE OF ZELDA FOR NINTENDO. AND NOW THAT I'M AN OWNER OF A PLAYSTATION CONSOLE, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY THIS GREAT RPG. THE FIRST AND FOREMOST REASON I LOVE THIS GAME IS THAT IT INVOLVED REAL-TIME FIGHTING AND ABSOLUTELY "NO RANDOM ENCOUNTERS"! I CAN'T STAND NOT BEING ABLE TO FIGHT ONE-ON-ONE AND ABHOR TURN-BASED YOU HIT ME AND THEN I'LL HIT YOU TYPE FIGHTING SEQUENCES. BUT ALAS, GAMES SUCH AS ALUNDRA AND ALUNDRA 2 IS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN, SO THEREFORE, GAMES LIKE THIS ARE A REAL TREAT FOR RPG FANS SUCH AS MYSELF. ALUNDRA 2 IS FUNNY, HAS SOME REALLY GREAT PUZZLES TO SOLVE AND IS AN ADVENTURE YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS (INSPITE OF WHAT SOME OF THOSE SO-CALLED CRITICS' HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT). I HAVE PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW GAMES THAT HAD BEEN GIVEN SOME SAD REVIEWS BUT ENDED UP BEING SOME REALLY GOOD DECENT PLAYS. IF YOU STILL DON'T WANT TO BUY THIS GAME, AT LEAST GIVE IT THE CHANCE IT DESERVES AND RENT IT BEFORE MAKING A FINALE DECISION.

Wish I hadn't bought it...

To be honest, I think this is one of the worst Playstation games I've ever experienced. I LOVED the original, and bought this under the assumption that it would reflect all the great qualities of Alundra.....sad to say it does not. The 3D format was an admirable idea, but it limits the actual length of the game to an unbearable level. One of the originals best attractions was it's immersiveness due to it's long duration, but this is lost in the sequel. I feel so strongly against this game I've gone out of my way to write this, it's a BIG disappointment.

Aflumpa 2!

I was so disappointed with this! The original Alundra was fantastic boasting a cracking manga intro (although this was a bit revealing), a good solid game engine and above all gameplay that worked! Here none of the above apply...

What shocked me the most at first was how much the graphics had been degraded! Instead of nice to look at cartoony graphics here they have adopted graphics recently took on by Shadow madness (that's not a good thing by the way!) Surely a sequel should move forwards not backwards?

To make matters worse there seemed to be an epmphasis on bad camera work! I was so sick and tired of adjusting the camera to attempt an impossible jump! I really had high expectations of this, considering the success of the original... My advice to you is leave this alone and catch up with original, as it is superior in every way possible.

I have played some very bad games in my ten years of gaming but this game tops them all. When I first bought it I hoped that it would keep up the excellent standards that Alundra set. I was wrong. This game is totally rubish as far as I am concerned. While the graphics may look good they become very annoying. The music is o.k but the worst features of this game have to be the lack of a decent storyline and the camera angles. Overall, u think that any real RPGest should go out and buy a decent game such as FFVII.

THIS GAME ROCKS

For all you RPG lovers out there this game rocks. If you don't have it get it this is a must-have. There are only a few downsides one of wich is the views, other wise this game is perfect. Sure the text is a little cheesy but it's a great game. I encourage you all to go out and buy this great RPG.

This Games Da Bomb!

This is one of the best RPG games I've played since Zelda 64! My N64 broke from over-playeg so I got PSX. It was great to find a game like Zelda for the Playstation but the strategy guide isn't the greatest. I recomend using an online walkthru or the Expert Gamer walkthru. Over-all this game rocks but the graphics could be better.....

A Very Great RPG

Now this RPG has a very good story and a funny sense of humore. It also has good puzzles that make you think, but some are so hard you have to look the on-line faqs or walkthroughs, but not so hard you have to spend 1 year on it so it keeps a 5 star. The controles are fairly easy to get use to. And the graphics are good but not as good than Final Fantasy 8,but they are still good for an RPG. The gameplay is so fun and cool you gotta love it. It is also addicting even after you beat it 5 times. You have to buy it if you are a RPG fan.

The ugliest game I've ever seen

The graphics are now 3-D and terrible! They should have kept it 2-D. It's even worse than Grandia, but Grandia had many great qualities this title lacks.

this game it so cool the bosses are very easy like in alundra 1 this game is just the best rpg i have ever played. thought it is short the shortness is made u by the gameplay in the game.my fav part is when at the begining of the game a hugh key falls on a whale and turns him into mako the robotic whale.
