Many gamers and professional game reviewers are caught up in the graphic meatmarket that is next gen gaming. Alundra 2 fills all the voids it's predecessor left, including leveling, an interesting storyline and captivating characters. Odd mechanics, akin to Mega Man Legends, might intimidate some stauncher RPGers, but given time, the interface proves not too diappointing. Definitely more enjoyable than Order of the Griffon on TG-16/PC Engine.
