Perhaps White Knight Chronicles II can be best considered a very large expansion of the first game. Those looking for an MMO-esque experience on consoles, as well as those looking for more of the same in the online component, may well find the gameplay and battle system to their liking. On the other hand, the main single-player portion refuses to build at all on an already mediocre first game and completely fails in its task to provide a satisfactory conclusion to the story set up in White Knight Chronicles. In the end the very few new additions fail to come close to making up for the overriding sense of disappointment prevalent throughout the game.

+ Great soundtrack.
+ Impressive looking locations.
- Story is even more nonsensical than the first.
- Tedious quests.
- New content is somewhat lacking.
- Lots of palette-swapping.

Score: 2.0/5 [BAD]

Full review: http://www.rpgamer.com/games/whiteknight/whiteknight2/reviews/whiteknight2strev1.html

The only reason I'll buy WKCII is to play WKC with upgraded graphics and gameplay. I'm not ever sure I'm going to play the sequel.

While every Review was kinda tagged to this 'WKC2 is a bit better than the first was, at least..' line, the second one gets faaar worse scores in the end. Game Review's are seriously broken nowadays. (I COULD agree to 'the standards are higher a year later'.. but what about OoT then?)

WKC2 is lacking much, and by no means a great game. but this score there equals a 40/100, and thats just way to low. Its more like SP 60/100 MP 85/100.

It might be just me, but i wouldnt call the 160 Hours spent on Part II alone a waste.

(I have to agree to the point that its an huge addon, but not a standalone game though, its too much WKC1. Even if there is much new stuff, a whole lot is recycled.)

Picking this up, absolutely.

If it is a genre I love, I ignore most flaws. Plus, WKC1 was great ;)

I beat part 1 but I still thought it was a terrible game. Was hoping they fixed a lot for 2 but based on what I read, they didn't. Level 5 sucks imo.

So better than WKC1 but lower score?

I won't trust such reviewers...WKC1 only came out a year ago, there is not sudden huge change in benchmark in 1 year

wow this things not doing so great.

Must be something wrong we me I want to pick more games scoring low than the so called great 9/10 games ;)

i'm enjoying the game for what it is and having fun with it. too bad reviewers nowadays cant enjoy games, they must be very frustrated people.

Sadly, many people are frustrated nowadays. Those also act like the earth revolve around them. On topic, its not the best jRPG out there but its not that bad either. Its a well made game, not like game such as agarest war.
