First, I highly recommend this game, especially if you played and liked the first installment. It has almost all of the best things from the first one, which it has imprived greatly upon, plus a lot of new things. There is the fishing aspect again, but instead of you just catching a fish and getting points, you can now upgrade your pole, keep and eat your fish, use your fish to upgrade your weapons, and then there is the whole, reeling in the fish which is very challenging. Plus, you can fish anywhere there is water, including the dungeons. And that's just one thing. There is the invention part of the game where you take photos of things and then make inventions based on the pics.

One thing about the game is that it is overwhelming. There are too many things you must be mindful of--the inventions, the geo thing from the first one(which is harder and not as stright forward as the first), upgrading your weapons, etc... it doesn't sound like much, but believe me, it definitely is.

finally, the graphics are great. I've never seen a game that can pull off a smooth looking cartoon feel. This succeeds very well. overall, I think that this is an excellent game, but a little to involved for the first few hours of play.

Its Very Good.

I love this game. It has just about everything the first one had and then more.
The reason I am rating this a four is that just like the first one they mix too much science with the magic for my tastes. To me a game that has swords, magic, and towns being rebuilt from elements and magical egg-shaped things should not have guns and age old lost technologies. But hey that is just me, and even to me these things did not distract too much from the game.

Game play is much like the first, you go through levels defeating the various monsters with a large variety of weapons with a group of different people (you control just one at a time). The view is an over the shoulder look, while being able to rotate the camera 360 degrees around (from behind the charter to around front and on around to the back again). Combat has a lock on system so you can face one monster in a group no mattter how you manuver. Each character has two weapon types (left and right hand), as well as special abilities.

The plot is simmilar to the first, the world was basically destroyed and only you can put it back togeter. Rather old plot but done in a new way. Fans of the first will enjoy that the developers added a lot of new features to the world building. Not only do you need to find various things to make the buildings, but now you can customize the buildings with paint and other things.

Fishing has not only returned but now involves some skill (not much, but you actually get to reel the fish in and not just watch and hope). Plus it has its own form of golf added as an additional side game (time distortions are the holes and there are balls of time material or somthing to hit back into them).

In all it is a good game that you can finish with a minimum of thinking (for you hack and slashers), but to truly "win" you have to follow the story and listen to what people want.

I highly recommend it as a great way to waste time.

Better than the first

If you've played the first one you'll remember how very repetitious it was. Well DC2 Still has the levels you need to get through to proceed but there is storyline between levels and more modivation to finish them. The graphics are also much better, very final fantasy like. The story line is good, the characters were well designed and the towns are huge. I'm very addicted.

It's great!

I played the first Dark Cloud before this and really liked it. If you ignore the endless dungeons, it's not so bad. I was more mad at how long it took to build up a single weapon and I had about six to build up at a time. I've really only just started playing Dark Cloud 2, but I'm already seriously into it. I'm past the first dungeon and I've already built up my wrench twice. Besides that, the scenery is beautiful and the music is great (for the most part). I can already tell that this is much better than the last one.

Better than the original!

Dark Cloud two fixes all the flaws of Dark Cloud, the dungeons no longer seem tedious, and there are actual voices for the characters. The best part is taking photographs to use in the new invention system, which allows you to create extremely powerful weapons. The worst parts of the game are the bosses. They are way to easy, and somwhat disapointing after battling through all the dungeons. The georama system is even better. It allows you build the town then travel 100 years into the future to see what the town became. Overall an addicting game!

Great fun, but a little...slow.

Dark Cloud 2 is a lot of fun and has great graphics. The graphics aren't nearly as good as FFX but its still really cool. The battle system hasn't changed at all from the first game, but instead of six characters to fight with you only have two, a robot, and some badge things that turn you into creatures. The storyline is good and keeps you interested to find Max's mother and help Monica save the future. The game is a bit slow and some things could probably have been excluded from the game and it would have been just as good if not better, but overall it's a great game that draws you in until the very end.

This is one of the best sequels I have ever seen. It takes rpg's to the next level, allowing you to invent items and build your own villages. Easily the best rpg I have ever owned. I recommend this game to anyone looking for an extremely deep intricate game that will keep you playing for well over 100 hours.

I really enjoyed playing this game. I do have Dark Cloud and I'd have to say there is just a little bit of connection btwn the 2 games. This one seems to stand on it's own. Instead of having the tons of characters you could play w/ in the 1st Dark Cloud you only have 2, Monica and Max. Yet these characters allow you to have multiple functions. Like Monica can weild a sword and has the magic band, so instead of having just 1 function in Dark Cloud for each character they have 2. Now here's the special part. These 2 characters also have what you would call 'sub-characters.' Monica can turn into various monsters using badges that you obtain throughout the game and Max uses this robot you can upgrade throughout the game as well. There is still the georama thing, only this time it's slightly different. Instead of the 1 character being the only character to grab the item, both can. This makes more sense anyways. They still deal w/ the stones, the moon, and a magical deep dark villian. *If you beat
