    Infinity Blade 2 is a must own - it is the App Store's killer app.

    In just about every way, Infinity Blade 2 builds on the rock-solid foundation of the original game, and delivers an experience that's as tense, deep, gorgeous, and enjoyable as anything you'll find on the platform.

    If you're looking for a game to show off the power of your new purchase, but also get value for money then you can't go far wrong with Infinity Blade 2. Even at its launch price of £4.99 it represents great value for money, especially with developers Chair due to release updates in a similar way to IB1, adding new locations, weapons and enemies to fight all set to be free DLC at the time of writing.

    Deep, accessible, and visually stunning, Infinity Blade II sets the standard for iOS gaming.

    You'll have a bit more choice in the direction that story takes, thanks to some branching paths in the castle. It's a nice change of pace from the first Infinity Blade, though if you stuck with the original long enough to receive the massive content update Chair delivered for that game, you'll have seen the beginnings of those branching paths already.

    When it works, however, Infinity Blade II represents iOS gaming at its finest. For all Chair's improvements, the first game's nagging sense of hollow repetition will still set in eventually; it just takes longer to arrive this time. But until that point arrives, Infinity Blade II remains a defining, and essential, iOS experience.

    Despite an incredibile graphic engine Infinite Blade 2 lacks in terms of gameplay and fails to add something really new to the (always winning) formula.

So far it has been running far better on my iphone 4 than the original did, and thats impressive considering how much bigger and better looking this is. I had a really annoying bug where it forgot all my save data and I had to start again. I know problems like this are going to be ironed out, so while its annoying it doesn't change how good the game is. I would highly recommend this to anyone with an iPhone, its got great controls lots of depth and an addictive levelling system, just watch out for the bugs... for now. Expand

I'm glad that Chair decided to work more with the story of the first Infinity Blade and the subsequent novella.

    The ability to choose whether you have the standard sword and shield, a heavy weapon, or dual weapons is a welcome change. Aside from having to reset my iPod dozens of times to get it to run properly my biggest gripes are how lacking the music is in its intensity and how Chair abandoned the made up romance language in favor of English voiceacting. The made up language made the first game seem more authentic to me and like it took place in a different world and time. In the end, the visuals of Infinity Blade II are something that cannot be ignored, because they are simply stunning and probably the best on the a mobile device. On older devices, however, the first game looks much better than the second game, although both run rather well.
    I would recommend reading the novella "Infinity Blade: Awakening" if you haven't already if you want the plot to make a bit more sense, but it isn't entirely necessary. The gameplay is much more accurate than in the first game and the combat is still intense. If you're looking for a console quality game on iOS, look not further than Infinity Blade II.

The game picks up where the first left off and it plays much like the first, but with many additions. In fact, this game is a far deeper experience. With the ability to enchant weapons via magical gems and multiple combat styles ranging from duel wielding swords to massive battle axes, there are combat classes to please any gamer's playing style, with the exception of ranged weapons, but that's not what Infinity Blade II is all about. It is about quick reflexes, combos, and stuns through the use of power attacks and magic rings. None of this would work, however, with shoddy controls, and perhaps this is where Chair has succeeded the most. The game has absolutely beautiful graphics (better than most console titles in all actuality), but it is truly those touch controls that we first experienced in Infinity Blade that make this game shine. In short, the controls are perfect. If ever you are taken down by an enemy, with the exceptions of those level 75 baddies that you will come across occasionally, it is purely because you made a mistake. Timing is crucial and, with practice, you will be unstoppable. As you grind your way through this vivid, beautiful world, you will come across a large variety of enemies, all with varying fighting styles and move sets that are much larger than the previous games'. You gain experience in the same fashion as Infinity Blade and earn gold along the way to buy new weapons, armor, and rings for your character. You will also come across gems, which I spoke of briefly earlier, and you can use these to enchant weapons and armor, giving them special abilities and perks. This addition not only makes the game feel much deeper, but it adds variety and makes your character feel truly unique as you are no longer restricted to a preset choice of weapons, one being better than the rest. The art design of Infinity Blade II is amazing, as is expected. The world is very detailed and filled with beautiful lighting effects from the sun. It truly is amazing that this is a cellphone game and this game sets the bar for those to come.

    Infinity Blade II is not only a brilliant game; it is art, and it is worth every penny of the low asking price. Surely, you cannot compare this game to a massive title such as Skyrim or Dark Souls, but the fact that this is something you play on your phone changes things, and thus I give this game a 10 out of 10 because it truly is an amazing game. It would be a travesty to ignore this title because it is history in the making and it is one of those rare titles, much like Skyrim and Dark Souls, that will pave the way for those to come.

    Infinity Blade II is a perfect sequel, correcting all of the mistakes of its predecessor to make a truly memorable gaming experience. TheInfinity Blade II is a perfect sequel, correcting all of the mistakes of its predecessor to make a truly memorable gaming experience. The graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay all hit bullseyes, and each battle feels more intense than the last. On top of that, that number of different pathways your character can take has been doubled, forcing you to try and find all the different bosses in order to reach the final fight. Even the story, which was practically nonexistent in the first game, is decently executed, as you play a hero trying to save a fallen warrior from his confinement. Despite the inevitable repetitiveness of fights after beating the game, as well as the same lack of incentive to keep playing once the final boss has been vanquished (except for overpriced weapons and armor), Infinity Blade II is an addicting adventure game from start to finish, correcting the flaws of the original in order to make a lasting impression.

    Would be a great game if it worked at all. Me and everybody I know who bought this game has had their saved games deleted at least once. ThisWould be a great game if it worked at all. Me and everybody I know who bought this game has had their saved games deleted at least once. This isn't a game you're going to complete in one sitting, so as it stands right now the game is pretty much worthless. The most recent update that was supposed to fix this problem is actually when I experienced the problem (lost my game as soon as I installed the update). I tried reporting the error to Epic games (owner of Chair) and that process proved to be infuriating as well as they had me jump through several hoops just to tell them what they screwed up (and I still couldn't do that). Not only would I not recommend this game, I wouldn't recommend anything Epic games has a hand in after this horrible experience. I want a refund ASAP. Expand
