Well, I've only played X-2 so far and haven't reached the end yet...but I can see why some would accuse it of being a little too 'prettied up' with costumes, girly behaviour, sing-songy etc. which I suppose detracts from the seriousness of the game and any sort of character development. But I have to give them credit for the aesthetics all the same. Stunning images, fantastic scenery, awesome dressphere changes etc.

But seeing as so many of you preferred X, I now cant wait to buy it! Is the gameplay similar?
