Japanese RPGs are filled with cliches. That's just the way it is. A young man -- usually a teenager -- somehow winds up getting charged with a quest to save the world. We've seen it many times before, and Star Ocean: Second Evolution is no exception. The game is not, however, without fresh elements that make it engaging and enjoyable (or at least they were fresh when the game was originally released in 1999). As you play through as one of the two protagonists, you'll quickly find that there's a whole lot more here than meets the eye.
Pros:
* Fantastic battle system
* Deep gameplay
* Decent replay value
Cons:
* Some visual blemishes
* Tons of cliches
* Load times can be tedious
