Siliconera: Part of me wants to lavish praise on Half Minute Hero II: The Second Coming just for coming out at all. The other part… not so much.
A rather hint-laden Twitter conversation involving Sony's Shahid Kamal Ahmad seems to hint at the release of Half Minute Hero 2 on Vita. Is it too obvious a connection to make, or have they just been a little careless in their implication?
I Loved the first one.
I have been waiting patiently to play the sequel on my Vita.
SteamFirst: Half Minute Hero II: The Second Coming is a super fun, action pact game from start to finish. Can you beat the clock and save the world?
Gary Hartley Writes Half Minute Hero: The Second Coming is carefully orchestrated chaos. It is, at its core, frantic slices of old-school RPG action bookended by massive lumps of old-school RPG text dump. It’s kind of satirical of the grind-fests at old, but it’s that special kind of satire we don’t see enough of that manages to stand strong on its own merits while poking fun at its foundations. It’s inventive and clever and, thankfully, has a skip key for when all that text starts to crush you in sheer weight. It’s also crazy long thanks to an embarrassment of options, which would make its very title an oxymoron if it wasn’t also completely accurate.
