  • It’s painfully slow for a PSP title at points, but other than that, it’s as old school an RPG as you could wish for. The pseudo real-time combat makes for something a little more interesting than your usual random battles though. 7.8/10Print t...

  • An overlooked gem, the second installment in the Star Ocean franchise receives a fantastic re-release for the PSP thats definitely worth a look. If you own a PSP you should own Star Ocean: Second Evolution. Will Herring ...

  • Abstract:  As the release date for the newest Star Ocean RPG creeps up on us, the latest re-release hits the PSP, this time porting over the PS1 Star Ocean, and re-dubbing it Second Evolution. While the first PSP Star Ocean release was a pretty big overhaul of th...

  • Abstract:  Hot on the heels of the fantastic Star Ocean: First Departure comes another PSP port from the series, this one of the second title (and the first to hit North America). So how does this RPG compare to other Star Ocean games? Read on to find out! For t...

  • All new voiced dialogue, addition of animated scenes, extensive customization, enjoyable battle system, private action sequences
  • Ashton and Celine’s voiceovers, skill point accrual is sluggish, customization is shoot or miss

  • Fantastic battle system; deep gameplay; decent replay value.
  • Some visual blemishes; tons of cliches; load times can be tedious.
  • Japanese RPGs are filled with cliches. Thats just the way it is. A young man -- usually a teenager -- somehow winds up getting charged with a quest to save the world. Weve seen it many times before, and Star Ocean: Second Evolution is no exception. T...

  • If you have looked at the screenshots and the graphics do not bother you then this is a great RPG (role playing game) to purchase. Star Ocean Second Evolution is a long game and unlike many other RPGs that once played once loose their replay value, in...

  • Gorgeous anime sequences and full voicing, More strategic play, Intensive crafting and skill systems, Fresh translation shows off a branching plot, Little forced backtracking in comparison to First Departure.
  • You can’t skip past spell animations, Some minor popup on the world map, Optional private action scenes feel like a waste of time.
  • Second Evolution is an engaging action role-playing game thats just as enjoyable as its PlayStation forebear. ...
