WAY better than Drakengard 1... the story is just amazing, this game is overall addictive!
Now I only got Drakengard 2 cause i love hack n slash and i played the first game (Drakengard 1) and i didnt like it very much... but then i saw some videos and a friend of mine said he played for a while and he liked so i just decided to get.
Gameplay: I love it! I personally love hack n slash games where you get to kill hundreds of enemies with different combos, special moves and magic! So this game won me straight away with the gameplay. Theres 2 tipes of gameplay: 1- dragon and 2- normal character on ground. The dragon gameplay is soooooooooooooo much better than Drakengard 1 ... damn the first one was so horrible i stoped playing because of IT, seriously its way too dificult like the creators didnt even test it to see how it went... but this one (Drakengard 2) is WELL DONE.. now u can control your dragon on speed and aiming on a much more simple way and yet awesome way... there are a lot of different special moves and the dragon even upgrades with levels and mutation! 2- The ground gameplay is also MUCH better than Drakengard 1... now the landscape is well designed and the enemies dont just show up out of nowhere and there are a LOT of different characters to use with each a very unique gameplay and a overall cool design!
Graphics: Their very well done but nothing impressive.. although the 3D videos are breathtaking... but its what to expect since Drakengard one already had that. This time the enemy warriors are now somewhat different and their not the same always... also flying enemies are better... ah come on overall the graphic is cool ...MUCH better than Drakengard1.
Sound: Yeah kinda boring but yet very appealing... they put some classic music for hack n slash? LOL yeah its kinda weird but its kinda nice... but it gets boring kinda quickly!
Value: I LOVED the fact that they put Drakengard 1 story totally in the Drakengard2 story.. that made me go back to play Drakengard 1 and even wanna play some more Drakengard 2! Very smart move ...and yes the story (to me) its one of the best games ive played... really liking it (still playing).
Well i guess i loved this game and since im a hack n slash fan its perfect for me i guess.. for u it depends on what ur looking for... try renting it first because hack n slash is very repetitive... so you have to like it.. but the story is totaly worth buying!
