This game hasn't come out yet. But i still can explain what the game is about and who are the main characters. The main characer is a guy named Yuris and he meets a women named Monica. Monica is a great swordsman (or women) and they team up to stop the evil that is spreading through the world. Like in the other game there is a Georama system or something. This allows you to customize your own town becuase some evil villian has taken away everything and onced again, someone has to step in and save the day. This is different alittle bit. You are able to color the houses and add stuff to them. Monica and Yuris are both swordsman, Yuris practiced his swords play in the back of his dads shop and Monica, well no one knows. Monica came from 100 years in the future and can use magic and her long sword. In this game there are many different weapons like a hand gun and so on. Of coarse, what do you expect, this game is either 100 years or 1000 years after Dark Cloud 2. I cannot wait for this game. I am going to buy it the first day it comes out. This game looks awsome!

I played this on the OPM demo disc, and this game is great! Great cel-shading, great sound and great gameplay. Try it

Its like a game developed by 2 separate groups. The storyline and towns (non combat exploration) is interesting, with some superb graphics both in technical ability (long draw distance, smooth framerate) and in design with loads of color and interesting buildings, monsters and bosses.

The actual gameplay in the dungeons is just plain dull. There's no advanced player skill involved like strong/weak attacks or special skills just block and hit. And the dungeons are just plain boring corridors and rooms. Disappointing.

MAJOR improvement over the original

Give a developer some more time and money and look at the results.

Wow.

I used to absolutely dis-like cel shading and was still skeptical before playing this game. This game has changed my mind. The game world is stunning. Truly beautiful. From the waterfalls to the sunsets to the town designs. Amazing stuff. Smooth animation and framerate as well.

The story incorporated into the game isn't anything special but it is great how Level 5 flowed the story within the dungeon exploring of this game.

I like the tweaks to the dungeon design in part two. Sure, they are still random, but the levels seem to flow better now. Also, the addition for the objectives for medals is a nice addition for replayability. Looks like you can get three medals for each level. One for clear time, one for a specific task, but then there is one hidden challenge as well. Anyone open these up, yet? Plus, I noticed there are now branching paths for some dungeons. Having crossed those yet so I don't know exactly how they branch.

Retooled weapon design system is excellent as well. Really like the sphere spectrum system. Then you have the all new invention system to upgrade STEVE. This is awesome. I probably spent nearly an hour taking photos of various items to get a nice pool of ideas for inventions. Two things I need though are cloth and a water tank. It dawned on me that I hardly even touched the Georama mode, yet. My favorite part of the first game. I can't wait to get cracking on it some more. The mini games are all over the place as well, including some fishing, golfing, etc. Great stuff.

Oh, and I gotta give props to SCEA for the translation and voice acting. Translation is much better than the first one and the voice acting is good. Seemed like SCEA put much more care into translating part two over the first game. The game is absolutely packed with things to do, it's looks as though you will be able to get at least 50 hours of playtime to complete everything, so it's quite a lengthy adventure. So early in the game yet my gut feeling says Dark Cloud 2 is going to go down as a classic to be remembered for the PS2 many years from now. It is exceptional. Greatly improved from the original and one of the most polished games I've played in awhile. PS2 owners should definitely get this game, and yes, even those who did not exactly enjoy the original, it improves on every single aspect of the first game and then some.

Dark Cloud 2 is a huge improvement over the original

I played the original Dark Cloud for several weeks before I grew bored with it. Dark Cloud 1's gaming system was complex, repetitive, and too convoluted to impress most gamers.

Enter the sequel. Dark Cloud 2 takes place in a world separate from the original, and it shows. The game features cel shaded graphics, offering it a very rich "cartoon" look, which managed to impress me. Most cel-shaded games seem like they're engineered for kids, but not this one.

Dark Cloud 2 almost seems like a game from a different series, rather than a sequel to Dark Cloud 1. The storyline is complex, lengthy, and diverse. The gameplay is simplistic, yet satisfying. The in-game music is rich and memorable. There's a plethora of mini-games to keep you entertained between missions.

The best part of this game, however, is the in-game Help system. There's a tutorial for just about everything in the game, and each tutorial provides clear and precise directions for everything. There's even a full voiceover from one of the game's many characters to assist you.

For the [price offered], Dark Cloud 2 is well worth the investment. Fans of the original, plus those that enjoy "Hack and Slash" games like Legend of Zelda and Kingdom Hearts will find their money well spent.

Dark Cloud 2: A Great RPG

I just bought Dark Cloud 2 a few days ago and I'm hooked! The two main characters are Max and Monica. Max is an inventor/handyman who wields both a wrench and a gun for his weapons. Monica is a swordsman (or swordswoman?) and she obviously uses a sword but also has a magic armlet. The cel shading graphics, areabsolutly amazing and are totally flawless. As for the gameplay, its very unique, and very fun. It may take getting used to but its fairly simple. One of the most uniqiue thing in this game is the Georama system. When using the Georama you can build your own houses and forests and back and forth between the future and the past to see how your building have affected the future. All in all I would highly recomend this game to any RPG fan

Dark Cloud 2 - Better than the first one!

WOW! This is by far the most addictive game I have ever played! I love RPGs the most and this one is definately worth the money. We had trouble with our old system because it was one of the ones with the bad disk reader. We went and bought a new PS2 just so that we could play this game! I can't get enough of it!

What a sequel should be

Wow.
Dark Cloud 2 has so many more little features that make the world complete and fun to explore. For example, Max can build inventions using ideas captured in his camera, there are medals to win by completing the dungeons given different challenges, there are photo scoop quests, and of course there's fishing...The Cel shading is very crisp and pleasant to see and the music is great.
Double weapon use!No cycling through 6 characters to find the one who can beat the baddie. I'm only 8 hours, 2 chapters in and wow, so much to do...Can't wait to build the towns and play with the georama.
