Suikoden 2 was my first RPG game that I played as a team based attack. When I first played this game back in the day, I could not get off of the game. I was absolutely addicted to the point that homework was no longer a responsibility. I was introduced to the world of RPGs and have been hooked since.

The difficulty of the game is not as bad. Completing missions and moving on with the story line is pretty simple. You have to ensure that your answers will give you the results that you wish to have. The only difficult part of the game is recruiting all102 stars to ensure the "Perfect Ending" story.

The depth of the game is a definite 10. As you go through the game, there will be moralistic questions that will test your conscience. Back as a sixth grader, I have always wondered how I would answer these questions as an adult. Currently, as an adult, I am not sure if I can.

The story is wonderful! A huge chunk of the story line is yours to command. There are a few trick questions that may shortcut an ending, but not as bad as Suikoden 5. Your answer as the main character will decide the outcome of much of the stories. Your answers will also determine whether you will be able to attain the "Perfect Ending" story. The gut wrenching plot twists and moves needed to be made will put you at the edge of your seat.

As I have mentioned earlier, this game has gotten me in a bevy of trouble. I enjoy story lines so much that I would run straight to my room to pick up where I left off. Sorry middle school teachers! Being grounded while having this game was the worst. Of course, I would always play regardless of punishment. How was mom and dad to know?

The original soundtrack of this game is beautiful. Their choice in music and sound effects worked perfectly. They're opening number is phenomenal. I have never seen such beautiful culmination of video game graphics, sound and story line.

The graphics of the game were amazing. Colors and design were vibrant and eye catching. I have never really liked the mixture of red and orange, but every time I see a leader, in this game specifically, the colors red and orange make sense. It is interesting to see the color blue as a negative connotation.

Overall, this game is an amazing time. The sad part is that I never got to finish the game personally. I have seen how it ends, but never was the reason for it. For a long time, I have been searching for a way to play this game and I may have found my method. This would be a game that I would be binge playing for an entire summer, before college starts again. I highly recommend this game to anyone whom is interested in RPG games. I'm not much of a Final Fantasy, because I believe all games should emulate this game style. (At least that what I used to think. Games would be boring if they were all the same. If y'all want to play, play this!  

Although it's not quite as long as a lot of the reviews done on the site, I thought this was very well done. You took the time to explain why you enjoyed the game so much, and why each criteria earned the score it did.

My only suggestion ( and granted, this is a very minor one, as it probably wouldn't bother some one with out slight "OCD" lol ) would be to maybe organize the categories a little more, such as putting a header or title for each one, as it was kind of hard to tell them apart until actually reading through every thing. Don't get me wrong, every thing looks great and reads smooth, I just personally prefer things to be extremely neat and organized lol

I've always wanted to try the Suikoden franchise, and this review makes me want to play them even more!
Keep up the great work
