This is a difficult review to write because Final Fantasy X is one of my favorite video games of all time, but this direct sequel doesn't really do it justice.
Good: I love that this game takes a whole new twist on the familiar world of Spira. The combat in this game is active, fast-paced, and exciting, and reviving the job system from classic Final Fantasy games makes the combat very in-depth.
Bad: A lot of landscapes, spell animations, sound effects, and other content is recycled from the original Final Fantasy X, making the game look more dated than it should.
Ugly: The storyline and voice acting are unbelievably terrible. Even watching the cut scenes or hearing most of the characters speak is embarrassing.
Overall, the good gameplay is enough to redeem this game's failings. The ability to skip most cut scenes improves the game's replay value tremendously, but if you haven't played Final Fantasy X then this sequel won't hold any value.Buy Final Fantasy X-2!
