The game was good enough for me to attempt a finish before a year went by,easy enough for me to manage it, and enough sidequests to furfill even my wildest dreams.

This game let me down alittle though. I, personaly, did not much care for X's story to much, the characters were pretty good but only twords the end,and...well...i think it was the over all game style. thefighting style and the spheres that turned me off.

X-2 I had hope for. Dont get me wrong,i loved X. It was a good,amusing game. Pain in the butt at times,but amusing. X-2 i knew would be just like that. Alright story,amusing to play. Exc. But,it did let me down. It was the whole Rikku and Yuna's additudes( "girlishness") that turned me off,and if not for Paine and the noneplayable male characters, the game would have been lost to my closet the day after christmas.

The story did surprise me. I expected it to be a "Lets clean up spira and hide Yuna from drooling men!OHHH!and lookie!the bad guys ALIVE again!!!". It wasnt. That was good. Very good. The story was short, sweet,not to many twists inside of it...but what can you expect for a folow up game anyways?All in all, the story was alright.

Sound. Everyone complains about the sound.I complained about it, actually. You know, once you start to play the game, and get into it, the sound just becomes part of the background. You dont notice it to much at all.

Characters. HATED what they did to Yuna,but...you know,you can still tell that the "old" yunas still living in her new shell.Rikku seems to have...grown up alittle too. I liked Paine bunches,for she was the one character keeping me sane as the gigles went on.

battle.Yippie!loved this. Loved loved loved it. Loved the switching of the spheres and loved how you could practically kill and enemy before they attacked and STALL their attacks and...and...just everything.loved it.

Not as good as Kingdom Hearts, but falls pretty close. NOT as good as Final Fantasy VII, but few games are i believe. Worth playing?Yeah. Worth buying?Yeah.
