Excellent story, but the gameplay is nothing special.

A game with an EXCELLENT story line. You get to see old faces in a new game. It is truely awesome seeing lloyd and them back, some fighting along-side you, unfortunately you do not get to maintain them as if you had full control over them. The characters from the old tos cast do not level up according to you, you only have 2 permanant characters and a large variety of monsters you can bond with to fight alongside with you. The monster pacts are a great addition to this game though.

Unfortunately, there is nothing much more than it's compelling story. The gameplay is just hack and slash, no real stradegy involved despite gathering up on items and buying weapons. The fighting system is just too basic and easy. I much prefer tos1's style. The voice acting is great as well, but it just isn't the same without lloyd's old voice.

The temples or dungeons you have to face are more of a chore than fun. Throughout this game, I felt as if they just effortlessley developed this game due to tos1's strong popularity and high ratings. It falls as a sequel, more of a spin off to me. The only thing well thought of this game was the story, the game overall is nothing new. I believe that the GAMECUBE tos1 is much better than the WII tos2.

If you are looking for a deep story-filled game, I would suggest this to you.
