If you like RPG’s and haven’t played this game yet, you’re in for a treat! Both of the Final Fantasy games for the SNES are some of the hardest games to find, and with good reason too because they’re that damn good! If you’re lucky enough to see a copy of this at your local used video game store or on Ebay, you should definitely pick this game up RPG fan or not!

If this is the future of role-playing, I may have to quit my day job - I'll never get enough sleep to function there. It's Final Fantasy II, another in the popular series, and it's a real gem. I would go as far as to say that it's the best RPG I've ever played on a cart-based system. If you own a Super Nintendo, get it. Get it now.

Power Play
Final Fantasy 2 ist das mit Abstand schönste Konsolenrollenspiel. Gegen den Spielwitz dieses Prachtmoduls verblaßt sogar das Sega-Konkurrenzspiel "Shining in the Darkness". Leider wird die Grafik von Final Fantasy 2 dem 16-Bit-Standard nicht gerecht und unterscheidet sich nur unwesentlich von den NES-Fassungen. Über entgangenen Augenschmaus trösten dafür die exzellenten Musikstücke und zahlreiche spielerische Feinheiten hinweg. Final Fantasy sprüht nur so vor frechen Details, knackigen Monstern und erfrischenden Handlungssprüngen. Rätselkönige fühlen sich streckenweise etwas unterfordert; wer lieber auf Entdeckungsreise geht, Gegenstände aufspürt, Monster vertrimmt und sich an der tollen Story erfreuen will, bekommt ein erstklassiges Spiel geboten - wir wollen mehr davon.

All in all, the game is a classic that, unlike many classics, is still worth playing today. I suppose that it may not have quite the same effect on those who have never played it before, but it’s at least better than Dragon Warrior in that respect. That’s for another review, however.
