7.5/10
Well, XIII-2 might be a cash grab but the game did manage to address a lot of the problems I had with XIII. It's certainly not as linear and allows for a lot of player freedom in how the game is experienced. The combat system is just as good as XIII, and the addition of monsters fighting as part of the party adds for a lot of variety in party dynamics which is really nice. The story is still pretty out there though and the writing is not bad but it's not good either, so-so.
