Chocobo's Dungeon 2

"A must for all chocobo fan's !!!"

Chocobo has been one of the characters in most of the final fantasy series, now chocobo has its own game. Chocobo Dungeons 2 is a turn based RPG, but its totally different than most of the RPG's that Square has made .Chocobo dungeon's 2 has many secrets and weapons to discover. Although the first few levels are hard especially without much experience, but soon after that we will get use to it and there's when the fun begins. At first we are unable to buy items but we are able too, the levels becomes much easier. Bosses here are much tougher too, but once you start to gain a lot of level and abilities, it should be a piece of cake.

Graphics 8/10
Great graphics here. Although those dungeon's look poorly done but the spell's graphic just keep getting better and better when you level them up. But you'll be surprise to see how nice those movies are. They have excellent graphics that can even match other famous games like FFIX.

Gameplay 9/10
In this game, there will be no random battle's and you just face the enemy head to head. No irritating menu's regarding attack command. All you have to do is hit the x button to attack and use some spells to defeat the enemy. Actually its much more complicated. In this game, Chocobo can equip things like claw's that act like weapons and saddle that acts like armor. Each of this equipments have their own abilities and can be mixed to add their ability. Those equipment can break and each time they break you will gain a feather. These will make you more powerful .Spells can be upgraded when you use them a lot of time. There are also items that will help you through out the game. This game has a 2 player mode too. Which let's the second player take control of your partner.

Sound 7/10
Nothing special here. Original Chocobo melodies from the past games.

Story 8/10
Old character's appear in this game. Excellent story, from
treasure hunting to defeating the bad guy. You'll meet a few friends, that help you out. Without their help , chocobo would be fried chicken when fighting with tough bosses. But don't worry, cause most of the time you'll have a partner covering your back. Everything your character does, has its effect later in the game. This game also has a very nice ending with a bonus after it.

Replay 6/10
This game is pretty short, so you might want too play it again. But, other than discovering abilities and weapons
there's nothing more to do. I would prefer to finish those
bonus rather than replaying it.

Overall 8/10
A great game for Chocobo fans. But if you haven't heard of Chocobo, and you're planning to get this game. Just rent it because its a short game and you might not like it so much.
