This is a pretty awesome game but it just lacks that WOW factor.

I couldnt tell you what VP1 was like. I played it. I know it was a side scroller. But I just didnt like it and only had played it for like less than 10 hours. VP2 is pretty awesome though. I only got it after hearing about the battles. Even though there is still a side scroll element to the game like anytime your walking around the battles happen in 3d and are pretty fun. You can have up to 4 people in your group and each is assigned to a face button(sqaure,circle,triangle, and x). Each character has a weapon that has a various number of attacks on it. That lets you click that guys button that many times during a clash.

A clash is just where you actually attack but you are limited by both your characters weapon's attack #'s and ALSO by the attacks they use action points. Characters have more than one type of attack that usually do different things like knock the enemy into the air or pierce through their defenses. Each different type of attack has an action point value. During a clash you are limited to using 100 AP. Even if a character has attacks left if you have spent all your AP up then the clash is over.

During your attack, depending on where you hit you can knock off monsters parts. These can be used outright as is or they can be sold to vendors as part of a recipe to make bigger better items. Thats the fun part.

The story for the game is pretty awesome to. The graphics are pretty good. I love Norse mythology and thats basically what this game is about. The story is told through beautiful cutscenes that only sqaure-enix can make.

I didnt give alot of details about the game but It is definately a must play and if you find it for low enough it would even be worth owning. The battles were pretty addicting, and there are alot of different fighters to use in battle and the story is great so it would be hard to stop playing this until you totally crush it.

Something is just missing from this game to make me give it a 10 and I cant figure it out.
