The Verdict

It's simple really: if you liked the first game, you will like this one. If you never played the first one but like strategy games, this is one of the best ones you will find on a handheld and probably the best you can get on PSP. The story is not as good as the first, though the character development is richer. Even sweeter, a number of VC1 characters are unlockable should you need some extra units. Add strong graphics, great music, co-op, and a versus mode, and you've got another hard-to-pass-up title. I'm crossing my fingers and praying yet again that enough people support this franchise that we get VC3 for PS3 in 2011 with online multiplayer. Don't let me down, J-man.

Considering this is James Quentin Clark, this is a huge praise for the game, I can't wait for it, seems like it wasn't downgraded at all. Shame on the not-so-good plot, but other than that, the game seems to be amazing

Vagrant Story (PS)

So the story is worse but the character development is richer.

Considering that most of the story in VC was in character development, I find that slightly confusing, but it sounds like I would like the balance better here.

Still, shame it's only on PSP.
