Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift Critic Reviews

It is a great crossover title and has appeal both as an Ivalice adventure and as a full-throttle tactics title.

In spite of the standard-fare visuals, FFA2 is a game no RPG fan should miss.

The production values in Final Fantasy Tactics A2 are top-notch and Square Enix has really punched up the graphics and sound.

Four hundred quests, lots of customization options, and some of the best turn-based strategy around will keep you playing for a long time.

A great addition to the Final Fantasy Tactics family. Gaming on the go never felt more fun than having an army of sprites fighting on your side.

Without really breaking new ground in tactical gameplay, the game is still able to give you plenty to think about during the excessively long battles. Character and job classes offer something different on the battlefield and this is good news seeing as there are hundreds of quests to take on aside from the main quest.

All these minor faults are soon forgotten once Final Fantasy Tactics A2 starts to slowly take over your life.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift is an excellent game by all merits.

When it all clicks, Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is a well-oiled adventure combining good design and fun gameplay that any strategy/RPG fan will appreciate.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 carries on the fine tradition of the series and, a couple of stylus issues aside, is a natural fit on the DS.

It's a daunting pospect but there are rewards for the brave here. This is a classy, addictive and sophticated RPG.

The gameplay is solid as ever, the visuals and music are well worth a look, and Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift is a very solid game for anyone in need of a Final Fantasy or turn-based strategy fix on the go.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 offers everything that FFTA offered plus some.

It's hard to understand why Square Enix didn't put any effort into the story, which would have upped the greatness of this game significantly had it been good. Even after some disappointments, FFTA2 remains worth it for all the reasons that FFTA was: great presentation and solid gameplay.

In conclusion, Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is a very good game that could have been a lot more. They could have put more effort into the music and graphics and made it a must-have, but it's still good and worth a play.

It's not the best in the genre, but it's a solid title with a ton of value for someone that's looking for something that'll last a while.

Grimoire of the Rift rewards players with a rich tactical RPG experience, but the lack of a meaningful and well-developed plot will leave many desiring more.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 once again takes us to the world of Ivalice and brings along the same addicting tactical gameplay from the last game with some new additions to keep it feeling fresh.

Engrossing tactical fun withthe depth and attention to detail we've come to expect from the new wave of Final Fantasy games on Nintendo consoles. Well worth it.

With its deep Clan system and 400 missions worth of downright addictive quests, I can't help but recommend it.
