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.
