    RPG Maker 2 is a very sophisticated game which enables you to design medium class games through a series of various editors. These remarkable editors, such as a dungeon editor, a map editor, and a building editor, rate this game a 10. However, as the player engages further into the programming, he or she will find him or herself travelling in a loop because of the heart of the game: The RPG Maker 2 is a very sophisticated game which enables you to design medium class games through a series of various editors. These remarkable editors, such as a dungeon editor, a map editor, and a building editor, rate this game a 10. However, as the player engages further into the programming, he or she will find him or herself travelling in a loop because of the heart of the game: The scripting editor. If the player does not manage to persevere this perplexion, he/she will find great disinterest in the program and rate in something low, such as a 3/10. Nevertheless, if the player does manage to articulate the great information within the program, they will be overjoyed and thus give it a 10/10. The method I would suggest to aclimate to the script and event functions is Trial and Error. The joy of the program is not the freedoms or great editors, it is the fact that you can literaly create a virtual universe where you are God! Then you can make another individual play your game and challenge them to defeat your immagination, which you inputed into the game. (Visit: teamdragoon.proboards44.com for more information)… Expand

    "This game is awesome I've not got it yet but I'm getting it for christmas and I've read at least 15 diffrent website reviews but there are a few problems which is why I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 but I know I will really like it even if it takes 500 hours to make 1 game ::TWO THUMBS UP:: "

    I love this game. I like the fact that you can disighn your very own games. I wish I had a PS2 keyboard though because the scrips are a pain to make with out it. I give it a 9. And thats only because i want a keyboard ... so i really gave it a 10 .. its awesome.

    I love this game......I made an awesome game-version of a book I wrote called Prophecy. It was great bringing Ceslia, Kano, and all of the other characters I made for the book into a game.

    As much time as one might expect to spend on something that deals with the entire creation of a complete RPG game, it's actually not half bad. There are countless other RPG creation softwares that you can find on the net, but for 3D scenery and the like, this is actually close to the best. It should take some time to get used to, but it's very much worth it all in the long run.

    I've just ordered the game. I've seen a few screenshots from the game and I decided that it has to be good. Sure, there's been some negative criticism about it taking long and being confusing...but...DUH! It's an Rpg "MAKER." I bet I'll like it once I get it, too.

    Don't laugh at the name, cause i didn't come up with it. Anyways, Rpg Maker 2 is sweet, with heavily in-depth flagging systems an a more advanced field of game design than it's predecessor.

    This game is a great game for people who are thinking of getting into game designing. It shows you how much time and effort it takes to be a game designer. To rpg players out there who have played this game the only thing i dont like is in the object placement you have to go through each item to choose what you want, it would be better if they had a list like the list the characters and This game is a great game for people who are thinking of getting into game designing.

    This is a great tool for any RPG fans out there. The only reason big name reviewers give it such a bad name is because they arent given enough time with the game. Give it a chance and Im sure youll enjoy it.

    At first it's challenging and you don't want to take the time to edit characters, but when you get near the finished product and start making islands and towns you'll never want to stop.

    I just got the game and right away I knew I'd like it. I'm stuck trying to figure how to get the flags to work.. It says how in the guide but it's so confusing. But all-in-all this game is SWEET!

    A good advancement from RPG Maker 2000 and the expanded 2003 - RPG MAker II on PS2 has many ups - to include the ability to design a 3D set of maps and classifiy character classes to fit yoru story better. On the other hand it is hard to get into at first (unless you enjoy thinking and testing). Hopefully with th erelease of the Eye Toy you will be able to insert user made BG pics for the A good advancement from RPG Maker 2000 and the expanded 2003 - RPG MAker II on PS2 has many ups - to include the ability to design a 3D set of maps and classifiy character classes to fit yoru story better.

I rated this game a 9 because it IS fun if you can work in the time nad enjoy the thought processes, but there are several things that would make this a better title...like making it for PC The ability to import and export things (textures and models) can limit your imagination somewhat. Over all this is a fun low level development and programming tool for PS2. Fans of the "series" shouldnt be too disappointed.… Expand

    This game looks VERY fun. The graphics are polygons, which some people might dislike. Although I haven't played this game, it seems pretty fun. BE WARNED: MANY game magazines have stated that this game is terribly confusing.

    Made 2 RPGs from 1 and just got 2. The graphics are great! Belive me this is a must have for any RPG freak. It also seems that they have there own programing language built in. For more in depth events. I have been waiting for this game for two years, and now its mine. Get this one as soon as you can!

    Sadly, you can't create textures or models, but those who are able to tame this monster will still find an abundance to love. [Nov 2003, p.92]

    It has one major flaw - the gameplay is downright appalling. A blind man on ice has more control than your character's general movements. [Jan 2004, p.130]

    Those who stick with the clunky interface and difficult scripting options will be able to pull off some truly incredible pieces of work.
