Metal Max 2 Reloaded [Japan Import]

Metal Max 2 Reloaded is a post-apocalyptic open world RPG. Don't get confused by the similarity to the description to the Fallout games, though, as this is entirely a different animal.Metal Max 2 Reloaded is a remake of a game originally for the SNES, and uses the same engine used in Metal Max 3. The writing is silly, the enemies are ridiculous and well designed, and there are lots of wanted monsters to test your mettle against.The main gameplay is pretty traditional as far as JRPGs go, traveling from town to town and conquering dungeons, but unlike most JRPGs, the player has full freedom to do whatever they want. There are only a few things that are actually necessary to complete the bare-bones main story, and everything else is optional. This gives the game a great sense of exploration as you slowly explore and fill out the map of the world.Exploring is mostly done in the Metal Max series staple: tanks. There are a whole bunch of tanks to find, and they can be customized in almost any way you want, making money one of the most important things you can have in-game. Battles are relatively simple, inputting all of your team's actions and then watching both teams fight each other, but the super fast pace and satisfying battle animations and sound effects keep it from ever getting too boring.The graphics are pretty old school, 2D sprites on 3D backgrounds, but generally looks pretty good. The places you can explore are quite varied visually, from a town built into an old crashed train to a giant underground protein factory, making it always fun to explore and see what you'll find next.The music is composed by Satoshi Kadokura, and is mostly rock and metal. It sounds pretty good, although it really makes you wish it could be performed with live instruments rather than DS synth. The tracks that stand out the most are the battle themes, including the Wanted battle theme which is in every game in the series.To sum things up, this is an excellent game if you can understand Japanese and are a fan of non-traditional JRPGs and free open-world exploration. Just don't expect too much out of the main story, since, as in every Metal Max game, it is just an excuse to get you out there exploring.One last thing to recommend about this game: one of your party members is a dog with a machine gun strapped to its back.

SFC版をプレイ済みですが、追加要素も操作関係も各種機能も素晴らしい出来です。数あるメタルマックスシリーズの中で、この２の設定が一番気に入っています。既に入手困難になっていて、DＬ版の望みが無い事が残念です。

ここのレビューを信じて，このシリーズに初めて手を出してみました。会話が小学生向けではないです。良くも悪くも。嫌いではないですが，万人にオススメはできません。女性キャラで進めていますが，内容が女性向きとは言えない気がします。せめてゲームの中くらい綺麗事だけで済ませてたい…という人には向いていません。 男の浪漫? それとも強がり? なイメージが強いです。そして今，終わりが全くと言っていいほど見えません。それはそれで浸れるとも言えます。試しにネットで攻略法をチェックしたら，想像以上に情報が多いので驚きました。なのであえて他の情報なしに浸ってみたいと思います。本命のRPGが行き詰った時に息抜きに進めるのがいいのではないでしょうか。とは言えたまにやってみると，これはこれでハマりますので，値段以上は遊べます。

面白かった。何度も、出来る。

問題無し
