    It pushes more boundaries and is a sharper satire than the other games in the series, as fine as they are, and that marks this one out as something special indeed.

    It's clear that a lot of care and attention has gone into this game, and while it certainly won't appeal to everyone, we daresay that Gamindustri veterans will be delighted with the offering.

    Re;Birth 2 is a great JRPG and fans of the series will be happy to return to Gamindustri on the PlayStation Vita - but the themes and the style of the game won't be for everyone.

    Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2 provides many hours of gaming jokes, silly plot developments and strategic battles which adds up to a mostly lovable JRPG.

    A great JRPG for PS Vita and a remake that finally makes a tribute to the original game, improving it in every aspect. Maybe it's a bit too integralist, but just for this it’s perfect for all fans of the genre.

    Even though it is not a revolutionary game for the genre, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re; Birth 2 Sisters Generation is a really good port from an excellent sequel of a PS3 game. If you are a fan of JRPS’s, love anime, visual novels and can tolerate all the “Moe” it has, this is a title you should try at least once.

    While Rebirth 2 is a massive improvement over the PS3 version in terms of performance, I felt the newly included mechanics and playable characters didn’t quite add enough to warrant double dipping for those like me who have already finished the title once before.

    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 »
