A spectacular sequel to the original, Xenosaga II makes its mark through several convenient advancements.
After playing the first Xenosaga, I wasn't expecting much in addition to the gameplay. However, after playing the game, I was more than surprised by some of the simple additions that have made this game extraordinary. ... Read Full Review

A good RPG by Namco, but what's with the gameplay?
Xenosaga Episode II is a good RPG developed by Namco, although it is not easy to avoid comparing it with Square-Enix' Final Fantasy series which tend to be more addictive, exciting and interesting, and memorable. Here... Read Full Review

A step below Xenosaga 1....
The Good - Good Graphics, Good story and Good Soundtrack (although quite different from part 1). The Bad - New battle system makes even the weakest enemies a hassle to fight, story focused almost entirely on Jr (gnosi... Read Full Review

Xenosaga II brings in another chapter to the epic story, but the flawed gameplay almost buries it
Namco's Xenogears introduced to the normally swords and sorcery heavy RPG genre a remarkable sci-fi tour de force with giant mechs, a world with a mysterious past explored through an enthralling story, and a uniquely fun... Read Full Review

A great sequel to a great game. The second part of this trilogy keeps the incredable storyline alive!
For those who have played the first game (and I hope you have otherwise you will be lost) this second part of the trilogy might leave more questions than answers. But the storyline is still amazing and the enhanced graph... Read Full Review

Xenosaga II was a learning period for Monolith Soft.
Xenosaga II was, as I said, a learning period for Monolith. If it weren’t for Xenosaga II, Xenosaga III wouldn’t be what it is. This game is abused more than it should be. As far as overall value goes, I liked it better ... Read Full Review

You will find yourself grinding through the terrible gameplay just to get through the incredible story that is Xenosaga.
Xenosaga 1 was a masterpiece, an rpg to rival final fantasys. With a great story line followed by incredible gameplay and graphics it was just one of the better games to come around in the rpg world in a long time. I... Read Full Review

The Epic Saga Continues…
Xenosaga Episode II Jenseits von Gut und Böse is the second installment in Namco’s epic Xenosaga series. Jumping into Episode II without having played Episode I isn’t the greatest idea because the game begins during... Read Full Review
