    Ultimately, Re;Birth2 is not a top-tier JRPG in terms of polish, or even story, but it is a solid effort that looks very pretty on the Vita.

    It's not a traditional JRPG saga, but this second chapter can't stand up to its predecessor. There's some recycling in dungeons, and a general lack of new features. Still, it's an original take on a classic genre.

    If you have the original game, you probably won't find relevant additions here. It relies on the plot rather than on the gameplay, but if you think you'll like what this game has to offer, then buying it is probably the right choice.

    By the end it feels as though Re;Birth2 has taken two steps forward and then two steps back.

    Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation proves to be a solid port on the Vita, one that may even be technically superior to the PS3 rendition.

    Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth;2 has a lot of heart, but it lacks finesse in its attempt to get players to see the ‘bigger picture’ in the game.

    The sad thing with this series and game, is that there is a great concept here that is hidden under layers of lame puns, bad jokes, and annoying characters.

    Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 has all the building blocks of a solid and fast-paced JRPG, but a few extra caveats players must be mindful of, specifically the sporadic difficulty, the extra grinding and the extra emphasis on Moe.

    Good looks and an original premise are let down by questionable scenes and a lack of ideas in terms of mechanics.

    Essentially, then, what you're left with is a grind-heavy game with forgettable characters and even worse writing.

    While certainly not a terrible release, Sisters Generation doesn’t stray far enough outside the box it lampoons to be considered a good game either. This game is only for dedicated fans of the series, or RPG gamers starving for a new game to fill in the gaps.

    I love these games, I even played PP, which was not good.
    HD MK2 on ps3 was my least favorite.

    HD MK2 on ps3 was my least favorite.
    But this version with the "victory" battle system, oracles added, and the stella dungeon mini game has changed my opinion on it. I enjoyed this game as much as re birth 1.
    If you liked RB1 you will like this also.
    Please don't give any attention to the idiot review on gamestyle, very bias...they should fire that guy.
    Try this game if you like JRPG, you won't regret it.    … Full Review »

    I was very disappointed in this game, Which is sad cause i loved rebirth 1. Its flaws stem from its recycling of rebirth 1's content (i feltI was very disappointed in this game, Which is sad cause i loved rebirth 1. Its flaws stem from its recycling of rebirth 1's content (i felt like i bought a half assed version of rebirth 1) and the short, bland story.

    Negatives: The ENTIRE soundtrack was a MESS! Nearly EVERY song was some form of a sloppy remix of a BGM or theme song from rebirth 1 (the exception being rom and rams theme which was made of catchy awesomeness). Almost all the enemy fodder was also recycled. The main cast (the CPU candidates) are all very whiny preteen girls without an ounce of confidence between them (excluding ram, who actually had confidence). The story was RIDICULOUSLY short for the $50 I payed for it (the world was also incredibly small and dungeons, very few). The main bad guys (the 4 felons and the "deity of sin") had no fleshing out to their characters. they existed solely to easily be beat by the main cast. one of them was even a pedo monster... it was.... weird... The stellas dungeon was also a broken mess what with the randomness of the enemys that appear and can kill you no matter what your gear. last but not least, anyone who payed attention to the whole story in rebirth 2 would realize they actually screwed up the back story from rebirth 1.

    Positives: The art is well done (cute where it needs to be and cool where it counts). As mentioned Rom and Rams theme is AWESOME. Compa got slightly smarter (heh). Neptune is still funny (but she appears too late to save the over all lack of confidence.)

    Overall NOT a recommended game (unless your bored and can find it cheap used)    … Full Review »
