Jade Cocoon 2

"Jade Cocoon 2 is much better than its predecessor, retaining and improving on its predecessor's strengths, but it lacks that special something that makes it more than the sum of its parts."

"When you get right down to where the roots take hold, this game has little to offer once you go beyond the creature rearing/leveling and combat, and as fun and addicting as that may be, both the weak storyline and repetitive dungeons become tedium personified before you know it."

"Crave Entertainment's relationship with developer-publisher Genki likely means that this one will make it to the states at some point. We'll likely find out more at E3, when Crave unveils their lineup for the coming year."

"...the game is much larger on the whole and the gameplay is as addictive as ever. Fans of the original Jade Cocoon, as well as those enamored by games like Monster Rancher and Pokemon, will surely love this fascinating sequel."
