Not even close to the first one.

I got this because I thought that it was going to be the first one just better like all sequels should. I was wrong, they changed some things and they also brought in some new things. Whats new is pretty interesting like catching monsters. They changed that you don't actually walk around so you have to do side quests to lvl up on your own. The worst part of the game though is the story itself. Maybe not so much the story rather then the way it is told. The dialogue sounds like it came from a 14 year old girl. Then some of the voice overs are just terrible at some points. Then on top of that the main character is just a push over and he is just disappointing. I think the game could have been so much better. I started to play because I was interested in series, but then I only played to see how they killed what could have been a great series.
