    13-2 is better than XIII in the fact that it's a little more open, there's are towns populated by other people, with shops in them. That seemed to be a main gripe people had with XIII, so it has to be better, right?

    More of the same though, because the battle system is the main star(unless you're a chump who spams auto-battle), so Definately worth the £10 or so it tragically goes for these days.

    Not impressed with the new trailer.

    Final Devil Assassin's Fantasy Creed May Cry.

    XIII-2 is pretty awful. Take Chrono Trigger, drain away all the charm, and run it through a room of marketing men. Throw in a poorly implemented monster-catching system (done far better in games with far less budget), and a fanfic plot worse than Advent Children's, and there you go.

    For a more concrete example, consider their attempt to please fans by adding a Gold Saucer style area, Chocobo racing and a Colosseum. Only, unlike the Gold Saucer, there are no fun mini games, just a generic slot machine; the Chocobo racing lacks any of the raising/breeding elements and none of the rewards; and the Colosseum is...empty. Unless you buy a mere handful of DLC monsters.

    You can also pay for a POKER game, complete with awful AI, and some other weird clock-based card game. Generic cards that is. No Triple Triad here.

    It's like a hollow shell of what FF games used to be.

    (and since that applies to FFXIII as well, I don't have much faith in this third game either - oh Square, where did it all go wrong?)
