X-Play: Mega Man Star Force 2 Review

Mega Man Star Force 2 is one of those games that makes you wander around and talk to characters until you've found the one that will push the story forward. It's the kind of game that pads itself out with random fights. And, worst of all, it's type of game that tries to pass tired techno-babble off as story. This crime is all the more heinous considering the fact that Mega Man Star Force 2 is aimed squarely at young gamers.

The last thing people need in games is more TV anime plots to help conditioning our youngest into accepting this kind of blather as de rigueur for video games narrative. Random battles and simplistic combat mechanics can be overlooked, but superior action RPG games like Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime or Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga setting the story-telling bar so high, it's hard to forgive Mega Man Star Force 2 its sins.

For me,as much as I enjoyed classics like RE series,Dino Crisis series,Dmc series,etc etc,I think Okami is the best game Capcom has ever produced,unfortunately it bombed,the team is gone and there won't be any sequel
*sigh*

its not their fault. Capcom completely ditched them. They are now known as platinum games (making mad world, bayonetta etc..). Sega owns them now. And I agree that Okami is probably in my top 3 capcom games. Next to RE2 and RE4 of of course.

Sega doesn't own Platnium Games.

swiftshot935550d ago

and the best capcom characters are Leon Kennedy and Albert Wesker. Dont dispute the facts.

Megaman is the only franchise I like from Capcom. Hopefully, they make a new one soon.

i can understand how resident evil, street fighter, and megaman may be in their top franchises but i don't understand how devil may cry and phoenix wright could be included and not monster hunter. obviously an article written based on opinion and not facts.
