I loved the combat system, and the game was actually difficult and had a lot of great post-game stuff you could do. All the games have a phenomenal story, but I felt Episode 3 watered down the combat. It just felt like I was going through the motions more than it did in Episode 2, where you actually had to form some kind of strategy. I had more fun with Episode 2 than any of the others. So don't listen to everyone who says Episode 2 is bad, judge for yourself. I did and waited a long time to play it, and was completely surprised how much I enjoyed it when I finally played the game. Episode 3's one saving grace was that the mech combat was extremely well done. |
Episode II is not bad by any means. I'd give it a solid 8 or 8.5/10. The problem is that for me I and III are 9.5+ games. But it's still a very enjoyable game. The main drawback it has it's that it is way shorter than the others (20 hours when the others are 40-45)
