Eureka Seven Vol.2: The New Vision

"By evening out the presentation and focusing the story, New Vision transforms the Eureka Seven series from painful to playable."

"Eureka Seven Vol.2: The New Vision still has a way to go in terms of development. It suffers from a few control issues and it needs a shiny coat of polish. But since it doesn't come out until this summer, developers still have time to clean this up."

"If the simplistic mech or hand-to-hand combat appeals to you, you can duke it out in several scenarios in the game's Situation mode without the story getting in the way, but battle isn't what this game is all about. Lots of folks are going to find Eureka Seven an interesting play, but it's far from a title for everyone. This game has set its sights on appealing to a specific fan -- someone who loves anime storytelling and isn't big on gaming."

"With all of the gameplay here being decidedly sub-par, the third volume should just scrap any remnants of gameplay and become one long, non-interactive cutscene. Put it onto a DVD and charge fans of the show $10 to get more of their fix, but for the love of that is good in gaming just don't make a game out of it. It's just mean and as long as the developers are too lazy to improve it this series is going to be an extended experiment in cruelty."
