Video Game Reviews of Parasite Eve II
Customer Review: I expected so much more
Summary: 3 Stars
While the gameplay (in terms of controls and difficulty) is similar to the first, I am disappointed about how generic the story line and script is. The first one was intriguing, creepy and well thought out with story and characters while this one has shallowed out Aya and then there are the characters that show up once and you never really deal with them again. It's not a bad game and it has some good moments; I recommend playing it if you're interested; just don't expect it to go beyond the first one.Customer Review: parasite eve
Summary: 5 Stars
game is challanging but not frustration. like ability to power up what powers i want not have to go in certian orderCustomer Review: Good but not Great
Summary: 4 Stars
Parasite Eve 2 removed everything that was wrong with the first one but left only one thing that i couldn't get over. Controlling Aya was a pain, I thought this was really the only down point of the game. I like how there was no leveling up or active time bar to wait to shoot.Also The graphics are awesome and the story will entertain.
However I did enjoy Parasite Eve 1 better than 2. Overall this is a very good game and does a good job on continuing the microchondria eve story.
Not Resident Evil. Although it may seem a lot alike, its not. This game is a little easier and has what I think a little bit of a better story than Resident Evil, there is some fact behind the whole microchondria eve where as Zombies are always used to try and scare.
Customer Review: Good as a stand alone title--Terrible as a sequel
Summary: 3 Stars
Straight to the point, the series started off as a chilling and entertaining RPG with an real time battle flare and ended up as a Resident Evil cloned sequel.
The series could have ended with the first Parasite Eve, but Squaresoft decided to continue the series.
What resulted was a sequel who's only tie to the original is really the main character and the use of her Parasite Energy.
Take Aya Brea, Resident Evil style gameplay, and her parasite abilities and you basically have Parasite Eve II. Its Resident Evil with special powers. That can go one of two ways--look at it as a stand alone game or survival horror game if you like, love, or are interested in the Resident Evil series; or, you can hate, loathe, dislike, or bear it as the terrible sequel that surfaced.
On the plus side, the interactive environments are a nice touch as they create a strategic approach in battles. You can find all kinds of weaponry to find the best possible way to deal with bosses. The Parasite Abilities mentioned above do add some strategy to the game as well.
Its a tough call. As stated before, you either love it as a STAND ALONE title or hate is as a SEQUEL.

Customer Review: Why didn't I buy this so long ago?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those games that I look back and and wonder why the hell I never went out and bought this when I had the money. I never personally finished the first game, but starting the sequel from scratch didn't leave me confused at all.
This was one of the first RPGs I played that allowed you to move around and dodge enemy attacks. I didn't feel like I was just sitting around waiting for my action gauge to fill up anymore, I was actually doing something.
Dunno about paying $80 for a new copy, but I certainly don't mind paying $40 for it, even if it is used.
