IGN writes: "It's difficult to give the downloadable version of Phantasy Star II too big of a recommendation considering it was released for a much lower price as part of Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection along with a slew of other classics including Phantasy Star I, III, and IV. But pricing aside, Phantasy Star II is one of the truly classic role playing games of the 16 bit era. While it has some technical issues like the truncation of words and a less than elegant menu system it stands the test of time with its long and enjoyable story". 7/10
