It's been a while since there was a good co-op game worth losing sleep over. I liked Sacred 2, but it was a mediocre game at best.

I hope this delivers. It has tons of potential.

I have no doubt this game is going to blow our minds. Ken Levine refuses to do anything less. Bioshock was a work of art - as cool as any movie or book I've ever read. I loved Rapture and I can't wait to visit Columbia.

I'm only 10 hours in, but as far as FF games go, this one is stellar. The game has some of the highest production values I've seen - right up there with Mass Effect 2 as far as recent games that have been given the royal treatment.

Like ME2 it's also very streamlined, so it plays at a much quicker pace than many RPGs, but sacrifices some of the leveling & collection aspects. This is fine for me since I've got kids/wife/job, but it may turn off some fans of intense RPGs.

Bottom line - if you like the FF series, you'll probably like this. It is amazing to play and equally incredible to watch.

One last soapbox moment - how stupid are you to think this series is sacred to Sony? All that means is you're too young to remember when FF was on Nintendo. The exact same BS was spewed when Sony announced FF VII. Why does it matter if it's on multiple systems? If you have a problem with that, then go to your local community college and take Economics 101. Seriously - it doesn't make companies evil to release games on multiple systems, it makes them smart.

Played this last night online until 3am. If you like the first RB, you're gonna pee your pants with RB2. It's better in every way, while still keeping the same appeal as the first game.

BTW - there are definitely some more challenging songs on guitar in RB2.
