The Elric brothers return, but is their new adventure better than their previous effort? Read Review
Follow-up to the first PS2 Fullmetal Alchemist game --- 2003's Tobenai Tenshi (Broken Angel). Hagane no Renkinjutsushi 2 continues on the action-RPG roots of the previous title but improves over the predecessor with new features and gameplay elements. The story once again focuses on main character Edward Elric. This time around, Square Enix is starting the story off from the first chapter of the original Fullmetal Alchemist cartoon, but plenty of original scenarios are planned as well. Animated sequences feature heavily in the game, playing during major story sequences. Teamwork with Al once again takes a central role in this title. As with the original, you direct Al using the R1 shoulder button. However, this time around, Al automatically chooses the most appropriate action for you depending on the situation.
The first Fullmetal Alchemist game for PS2 was a decent, if not terribly satisfying brawler. It could only really appeal to fans of the anime/manga who wanted little more than to control the young alchemist brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric. Now, a roughly half a year later, the game's sequel has been released, and although it's still not a great game, it's a definitely improvement over the original. Read More »
