Summoner 2: info, pics, music... inside!

yeah i know the camera was controllable, but i just couldnt get the hang of it!!!





i think if i had more money at the time i wouldnt of took it back, but i think it was near a release of a big game when i got it, so i took it back for that!!

ive got the first one but i have got bored of it.....sorry if im not jumping for joy!!!

the graphics are worse than the original by far (except for the draw distance  ) i hope they are improved

and Ddaryl, you\'ve convinced me to go out and give Summoner another try.. once i finish Baldur\'s Gate, ill need something huge to tide me over til FFX.. i rented out Summoner a long time ago, and the story was cool (i only got up to the first city)

a thing i loved about it was the fact that the cities were lifesize.. it was HUGE.. but it was TOO big and i lost what i was doing and never rented it out again.. ill give it another go, because i have been looking for a strong storyline (and this is well known to have one of the best)..

and the battle system didnt seem too bad.. for a complete vagrant story rip off  

i am looking forward to this game, and as long as the draw distance is fixed, im happy with it  

yeah hope they include a map on this one, and something so it can remind you what sub quest you are on ( cant rember if they were on he old one, been ages since i played it)

Well if I remember correctly the 1st one was in low res up until the last few months of dev. Which I hope is the case here

and yes the battle system is pretty much Vagrant Stories, but we can find a 1000 games that have like battle systems to other games. Summoner just stands out cause Vagrant Story is the only other game I can think of that uses it.

don\'t worry ddaryl! i\'m here to help defend Summoner too!

I recently restarted playing it and I\'m not let down once again just like I wasn\'t the first time I played it.

Considering it was Volitions first RPG on a brand new console they did a good job IMHO

Yes, Summoner had a mile long list of problems and thins that could of improved.

but hey, thats what sequels are for.

No question Summoner had a grade A story. Now if they can just improve on some gameplay elements and graphical tweaks i\'m sure they could pull off an amazing videogame experience.

OH! and lets hope we get ANOTHER HILALRIOUS summoner geeks video :D:D

I totally loved that thing, one of the funniest laughs I had in a game to date

I think summoner had one of THE best stories in a game.
The battles were also very good in my opinion. What It lacked was enough polish. They rushed it for launch was their problem. The quests you got were slightly fun, but had no bearing what so ever on the game. It also lacked realism when it came to the world. There was only ONE city in a kingdom? Come on. I felt the story was epic but the GAME was not epic enough. There should have been more to do than follow how linear the game was. Even the quests only involved you running back and forth the whole time. Other than the Flaws I REALLY liked this game. I thought the summons were implemented perfectly, and the battle system was very well thought out(Other than the metoer spell. Once I got that, battles lost most of their difficulty till way later.)
