Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria

I bet you can still remember the first PS original version of Valkyrie Profile, the Japanese RPG that was based on the Norse Mythology, which was recently ported to the PSP as Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. Now they have the second version, “Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria.” This game was released on the market around the summer of 2006 and can be played on PS2.

Even though the game is in fully 3D graphics (unlike the 2D artwork of the original), it plays like an old side-scrolling 2D game when you’re not in battle. You might be slightly shocked the first few times you visit one of the game’s elaborate towns and realize all you can do is run left or right, sometimes pressing “up” to walk into a house or go down a side street. However, the system will still work for you, and it gives the game’s many dungeons a totally different feeling, for better or for worse, from what you’d normally find in a Japanese RPG… To make the story short - some of the gamplay have been changed, some are improved and some are retained. But keep in mind that VP2 is way more better than the original, although you might wonder that the game is not setup chronologically after the original, but it is before the original. So it expects no prior knowledge of the first game.

For best game experience, read about norse mythology. That would make the game very interesting!
