pro: awesome gameplay, story plot con: laggy graphics, lack of characters conclusion: worth every penny

User Rating: 9.5 | Final Fantasy XIII-2 PS3
the gameplay is extremely good. the linear story which FF XIII possessed which turns out to be a bad feature by the gamers who love to explore apparently is fixed in this game. i really love this new feature. it makes me go mad if i dont complete it 100%. but it also makes me very very excited about the new feature.

the story plot is awesome. i've played this far into the game, does not skip any cut-scenes or movies. yet i'm still puzzled, stunned, and amazed by how they carefully makes the story progress.

laggy graphics is not entirely the FF XIII-2's fault. it's the PS3's graphics processor i would say, is incompetent. now i really wish square enix will reconsider their franchise to be present on PC once again like FF VII and FF VIII.

i do not really like on how the combat goes, since the 2 characters are irreplacable. they stay fixed throughout the game, u have 1 more slot for combatant which is a pet. yeah, a pet. i do not know whether it's square enix who is rushing the release, or it's actually will be contradictive since the storyline includes a lot of jumping back and forth time to time.

u haven't bought the game? u like FF XIII, u'll like this a lot more, trust me, well maybe u're gonna need a game guide, cuz FF XIII sure does not have any tricks / puzzles for their main storyline, but FF XIII-2 sure does
