 Crimson Sea 2 October 22, 2007
Raven69
An older game for the PS2, but still a very awesome game. Found new and cheap, arrived on time and in excellent condition.
 Pretentious and repetitive September 2, 2007

Crimson Sea 2 for PS2, which is perhaps one of the most annoying games I've ever played. Beneath a load of pretentious storyline, there is an even bigger pile of redundant and frustrating gameplay. Regardless of the mission outline, what every one really entails is mowing down hordes upon hordes of enemies with either some type of gun, or a glaive-style weapon.
Every few missions you'll be faced with a "new" type of enemy which requires more than just holding down the fire button and moving from side to side. You might actually have to STOP holding the button long enough for its temporary invincibility to wear off, or be forced to use only your glaive. Just in case straying from the norm of button-holding proved too difficult, the game tells you the "trick" to beating the enemies each time.
I should have been suspicious the moment I saw the Koei logo, being as though that company only seems capable of making games where you fight millions of enemies endlessly (See Dynasty Warriors series). At least this one's not set to the backdrop of the Three Kingdoms period and has a story of its own, but unfortunately, it's scattered amongst quest after quest of mindless repetition. To put it bluntly, this game is crap.
Floods of insects... June 14, 2005

Crimson Sea 2 packs a lot of insects... but you also are packing the fire power to deal with said insects. Featuring tons of different levels to play on, different difficulty levels, and a couple different modes of play, CS2 gives the player a lot of action to mess with. And if that is not enough, it also has all of the cinimatic scenes from the original CS packed into it if you never played the first one (which is a strong chance since the first CS was on the X-Box.)
The music in CS is a little on the weak side, which is strange since Koei is usualy pretty good about giving their games decent soundtracks (look no further than the Dynasty Warrior games). The graphics on the other hand are quite good, although a little grainey and reptetetive in places. That being said, they do capture the sci-fi massive slaughter feel the game has, and much to many's delight, the game does NOT slow down if the screen is covered in tons of enemies... which happens QUITE often.
The two different characters in the game are different in several respects, but for the most part you could play as either one and never use the other if you wished. You will probably have to master both of them in order to get a 100% completion rate for the game though, which is a hefty challange in itself.
Crimson Sea 2 is a highly recomended game for those seeking some heavy fire-powered monster/insect slaughtering fests. It is faster than Chaos Legion in many places, has a more highly structured combo system as well and has a more futuristic approach than Dynasty Warriors (and more power per character than any of the Dynasty Warriors).
The perfect action game! February 28, 2005
W. Scott Heitman (Gainesville, Fl United States)

I'm a very picky gamer; I finish very few games. I often dislike games that the mainstream press gives great reviews. However, this game instantly had me glued to the screen and hasn't let go yet. I'm about 16 hours into it and I'm ready for what looks to be another 14 hours of sheer greatness.
The Graphics- are fantastic. Scores of aliens will be onscreen at a time, yet there is no slowdown, and all of your attacks look fantastic. I haven't gotten tired of all the different attacks yet- they just look so awesome.
The Gameplay- there are plenty of games that try to do what this game succeeds at, but most of them suck. You face off against hoards of aliens while slowly upgrading a very broad array of skills. The game is accessible both to advanced and beginning gamers- old levels can be replayed to get more experience to beat the new ones. The game has 60+ missions, and to get a perfect 100 percent, you will probably have to play them multiple times to get all-S ranks. I'm not usually the type of guy to go for 100 percent completion, but for this game I'm making an exception.
The Story- The really cool thing is that this game comes with all of the cinematics from the first game- some 30-40 minutes. I have yet to find out how the good the story is for this actual game (halfway through), but it is safe to say that the story is, at the very least, solid and stands up as more than just an excuse to kill literally thousands of aliens. The cinematics definitely look nice, too.
The Soundtrack- This is another one of those games where I could see listening to the soundtrack elsewhere. I really hope I can find an import or something.
This is the rare action game that doesn't feel old even after 16 hours of play. Pick it up and prepare to be sucked in.
Definite sleeper hit! August 23, 2004

This is going to be a sleeper hit for the action-RPG people. The flow and feel of the game is a lot like a really great single player version of Phantasy Star Online, except the fighting is more like Ninja Gaiden/Devil May Cry. You also have a magic meter that builds up as you fight and take damage. Unlike most action RPGs, you will often find yourself fighting up to 30+ enemies on the screen at once; the sound and feel of slashing through such a large horde is definitely gratifying. There are experience points and weapon upgrade points as well as special moves that you can do in battle. Controls and camera are spot on!
I never played Crimson Sea on the Xbox, but I heard it was really bad. Supposedly, this version cleaned up a lot of issues that people had with the Xbox version. You can also view all the cutscenes from the first game in this sequel. There are multiplayer modes in the game (co-op, competitive), but they do not intersect with the single player mode at all.
If you are looking for a level treadmill game that requires some dexterity to play, then this should definitely be on your list.
