Drakengard 2, made for the Ps2 and NOTHING ELSE is the subject of today's review.
First I'd like to say that I'm not really sure why it's called Drakengard since you never gaurd anything except your own ass and there are no Drakens, Krakens, or Kittens. That aside, here's the review.

[Disowner!]/[Disclaimer!]: Do not read the following review if you don't want to hear about any of the entirely too numerous plot twists. Or if you're a whiney, lonely, Furry hating, or review hating wanker.

DRAGONgard 2 starts off with a rather off the subject flash back history sort of unskipable movie/cutscene with the main character Nowe talking about the flames of war or some shit like that... After that dull exposition you are thrown into the story with no backstory of your own aside from the knights of the seal found you in a canyon with a dragon that didn't bother killing you or the knights and apparently the knights had nothing better to do than hunt for orphans like a casual game of cricket or Marco Polo. After a bit of training with a backstory lacking, self righteous, woman of questionable sanity you are sent into an arena but WAIT! You can't enter the arena yet says the game and a thoroughly loud-mouthed rival who is angsty because you got the title of Savior whereas he got the title of "Shit-faced Draken" so you beat his ass with the most basic combo of mashing square and using block is you're feeling gutsy. Actually, come to think of it now you can pretty much get through the entire game without using block, or parry (Block + ultimate attack button square). After that little tussle in the hay you enter the arena and proceed to unleash all semblance of whoop-ass on a battalion of knights all of which fall beneath your blade very quickly leaving you feel unchallenged and craving more. Luckily, the game knows you crave knight of the seal blood like cocaine to a drug addicted prostitute. SOOooooooo, you fight another battalion of knights and then you "fight" General Gismor and lo-and-behold you can get through this fight with no blocking!

Anyways, eventually after you've killed enough knights to fill the arena stands you get carted off some place which is full of monsters with Eris, the backstory lack, self righteous, woman of questionable sanity from last paragraph. Dragongard2 is unique in the fashion that you may only use 1person at a time and you switch between party members by selecting their type of weapon. Nowe, as in NoWay is he gonna get laid in this plot, uses variations of swords. Eris, crazy as a ferret sausage to begin with uses a spear because the first thing you want a crazy woman messing around with is something she'll undoubtably use to stab things full of holes, am I right? [SPOILER!] <though the game will spoil that before I do< Mannah uses some sort of sharp... staff... bladey... thing, and in case you didn't notice it from her name, she is your magic caster. and [SPOILER AGAIN!] Yurick, the most awesome character you'll meet in the game uses an axe, which first and foremost looks like a scythe but what the hell do I know apparently?
