Pretty ok.
If you liked Episode 1, you'll like Episode 2. Loved the final battle. It made me very happy.
Spielwertung: 8/10 Spielzeit: ca. 6.5 Stunden Spieldurchläufe: 1 (Ende) Anstandslose Fortsetzung von Episode 1. Lediglich die Story wurde ausgetauscht, wir beginnen direkt bei Level 15 (MAX von Episode 1) und dürfen erneut 15 Level (MAX 30) leveln. Die Fähigkeiten / Waffen wurden leicht modifiziert, bei den Gegenständen gibt es ganz leichte Anpassungen, aber im Grunde ist alles vertraut und bleibt gleich. Der Humor ist immer noch so ne Sache, diesmal dürfen wir uns z.B. über "die Reichen" hermachen (wie einfallsreich), aber im Grunde ist das ganze Spiel eine einzige Überzeichnung von Stereotypen. Und hey, ich habe endlich gelernt, was es mit "Overkill" auf sich hat. Ist allerdings imo den doch recht hohen Aufwand nicht wert, für die paar Punkte so viel Planung in die Kämpfe zu stecken (zumal NUR perfekte Ausführungen zählen, der Schaden selbst scheint kaum eine Rolle zu spielen, ansonsten ist es nicht zu erklären, wie jemand mit 100 Leben bei 500 Schaden KEIN Overkill bekommt). Fazit: Neue Story, alter Spaß. Episode 2 schließt nahtlos an den 1. Teil an, als wäre man nie weggewesen. Schade, dass offensichtlich Episode 3 und 4 zwar SPÄTER entwickelt , aber von einem neuen Studio umgesetzt wurden. Die Ergebnisse sehen uralt und völlig anders als diese beiden Spiele aus. Ich verzichte daher dankend, aber auch so hatte ich viel Spaß. ;)

Great game. They added a few different things to the game but overall its amazing.
If you liked Episode One, Episode Two is worth continuing on to. Same fun Super Mario RPG-style ATB system with active counter-attacking, special attacks which by the time they're fully upgraded are an actual challenge to land for full damage, and a humorous Apocalypse-in-the-making storyline. Oh and it's short enough to not overstay it's welcome if you've got limited gaming time on your hands.
Awesomely fun game
It holds up pretty well surprisingly
I picked this one up because I only paid a few bux for it on one of them sweet Steam sales a few years after it came out, and it turned out to be a really fun game. I'll have to give it another play through one of these days. Do me a favor, do it, do it.
love it
I played the first one when it first came out on the xbox. Now all these years later I decided to pick this one up and clear it out of my back catalog. Just playing it brings me back to the good old days of the early 2000's. I have been needing somewhere to lose myself lately from the stress of things and this game was a perfect resting place. I forgot how crude the humor was, I remember being shocked the f word would be used in an xbox game back then, it made for great jokes and fun reading. The combat is pretty straight forward old school turned based rpg attack style. The graphics are very much like a comic book all in all I would give this a 7/10 which for me is something I could see myself replaying down the road.
