Project X Zone 2 Critic Reviews

It may not reinvent the wheel, but Project X Zone 2 keeps things rolling along for the series.

I don't know if this is the work of the localization team or the original scenario writers of the game, but gone is the disjointed structure of Project X Zone and here is an easy-to-follow storyline that even people who are totally unfamiliar with the series will be able to understand.

Project X Zone 2 is a deeper, more satisfying experience as it is greatly improved from the original in every single way. It’s a shrine to a great cast of characters we’ve grown fond of over the years, carefully crafted by people who love these characters just as much as we do.

A fitting tribute to gaming icons.

Much like its predecessor, Project X Zone 2 is a lighthearted, fun time – and it manages to improve on that first game.

Monolith Studios offers us an adventure with unbridled humor, strategy RPG based gameplay, a very long duration and excellent Spanish translation. It is an ode to modern videogame in the form of references, winks and other links between franchises and industry.

Project X Zone 2 is a great crossover, full of iconic characters and good and accessible combat system. Great dialogues, funny moments and convincing graphics for a game that's, although, too easy in many moments.

Fan fiction story aside, Project X Zone 2 is fan service that's more than worth your time.

Project X Zone 2 is a better game than its prequel with tons of customization options, cool mechanics and fan-service jokes thrown together in a fun and colorful mess which unfortunately gets quite repetitive soon.

Players who don’t need everything to bristle with a dark malevolence will find a great time in this one.

Project X Zone 2 may not be for everyone, but fans of SRPGs and characters from Capcom, Sega or Bandai Namco are going to have a blast with this game.

Even with the mediocre localization effort, it’s hard not to appreciate the huge story and fun gameplay in Project X-Zone 2. Regardless of if you’ve played the original or not, it’s a game that can and will steal hours of your time. For those looking for their next big adventure, especially with no new Pokémon or Yo-Kai currently available, Project X Zone 2 comes along at the perfect time.

All in all, Project X Zone 2 is an enjoyable experience that improves upon some faults present in its predecessor, while adding in some interesting new features.

The gameplay is a little shallow, but the real draw of Project X Zone is the localization as something like 90 characters are represented and the dialogue between them is a real hoot.

A single battle in Project X Zone 2 can drag on forever, and its overarching story doesn't make much sense. Still, its hilarious character interactions and chaotic fights embody what a video game should be: Fun.

PXZ2 is made for and by people who love video games. The formula hasn't changed that much, but it still works and it's an experience full of fan service and very enjoyable.

Project X Zone 2 is an enjoyable experience that improves upon some faults present in its predecessor, while adding in some interesting new features.

Project X Zone 2 does not come to revolutionize the genre of strategy games. It doesn’t even come to change what its prequel did. Nevertheless the game is still an entertaining title that came to please all those fans that were impressed by the clash between the characters of the most famous series of Namco Bandai, Sega, Capcom, and now even Nintendo.

If you enjoyed the original title, then Project X Zone 2 should appeal because it does everything the first title did but better. If you are new to the series but a fan of some of the various franchises represented here, it is also worth a look.

Project X Zone 2 is a lot like its predecessor gameplay wise. And it's clearly not the most challenging Tactical-RPG available. But what the game lacks in difficulty, it more than makes up for in fan service. The game's cast of characters is incredible and its dialogue is both full of references and funny lines. If you love Japanese video games and their history, you'll probably love Project X Zone 2.
