This game seems to be getting hammered in the reviews, I see its still has a decent meta score though. Gameplay praises are a good thing cause that helps, but the bad music and voice acting can ruin a story, which is essential to a RPG.

No offence, but that doesn't sound like you've played many JRPG's before

Most of them have bad music and voice acting........

Which is the same problem I have with this review, all those negatives can be said about ALOT of JRPG's yet they give it a much lower score then other games they've reviewed that have similar "issues".

You'll miss the bad music and voice acting when it's gone.

@ SHMUP

Well I may stll pick it up. But thats always been my problem with JRPGs, I would rather have to read subtitles than hear crappy voice acting. As for the music parts, as long as the music fits and isnt annoying then I'm sure its fine.

Sure man. Just one advice: Just like with all RPGs, try to play the game when you know you'll have lots time, and make good use of it! The game has a lot to offer with the Item Creation, Monster completion and sidequests. I only wished I would have had more to finish the game 100% before I go back to college this Monday.

Life continues, I guess. :(

Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

2.5/5 = 5/10 = 10/20 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 50/100 = 25/50 = 1000/2000

Here are some more conversions for those who needed the help of the title.

Please god, no. I prefer the metric system over your crazy American stuff.

Wait, did an Australian just call me an American? I guess there is always a first time...!

*Note: We don't use this here in Canada Quebec... Past elementary school at least. Correct me if I'm wrong, any Quebecker!

@ CAL4MITY

Ive actually played alot of JRPGs, mostly from the PS1 & some from the PS2, though most of them were when there was hardly any voice acting. But i've most of the time I found the music to be enjoyable, and added to the game nicely. Maybe that why I have slowly abandoned them since they seem to be lacking in these categories. Not to mention alot of poorly written stories as well. But then Valkyria Chronicles happened, and had terrific voice acting and music, and a brilliant story. Which I guess is why I'm disappointed by the comments I keep hearing about SO4, cause I had high hopes for it.

Canada is a state of the USA, it wouldn't make sense to have a whole different country between the main bunch of states and Alaska. That would be like suggesting that Russia has a small slice of land just north of Poland.

I must tell you that my ancestors fought countless wars to keep this big empty slice of land very Canadian (with a few human settlements here and there)! Though, I have to agree that we are not very "self-sufficient" and often require the help of our friends on the other side of the border... In other words, if they catch a cold there, we catch it as well.

With all that said, I don't get rocks thrown at me if I go visit other countries. o_O
