5.0 out of 5 stars Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django......, January 18, 2006

This review is from: Boktai 2 Solar Boy Django (Video Game)

In Boktai 2, you reprise your role as Django, the vampire hunter. Him and his trusy mentor, Otenko, have ended up in the town of San Miguel on their journey where they discover something called the 'undeadening' is threatening the place. Soon, he finds out that the immortals are nearby regaining their strength in numbers and that's where the story begins. Though, the game still has the twist of playing the game in the sunlight to defeat the immortals, the game is played quite differently this time around. Because of that, Boktai 2 feels like a totally brand-new game instead of a rehash of the first game. There's alot more backstory this time around in which you find out more about Django's family and the reason for his rivalry with Sabata among other things. Don't come into Boktai 2 expecting it to be a cakewalk like the first game, Boktai 2 is alot more challenging with it's puzzles and bosses. Almost to the point of becoming frustrating but not quite.

My biggest gripe with the first game was that it was too short. Thankfully, they fixed that this time around and made the game twice as long as the first.

Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django is a great sequel to the first game. It's a must-play for all the Gameboy Advance owners out there. I guarantee you'll like this series, even though playing in the sun might be a bother. I hope we see future iterations of this series on the Nintendo DS in some way. I'd like to delve more into the lives of Django, Sabata, and the immortals.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite game ever! ^_^, October 23, 2005

This review is from: Boktai 2 Solar Boy Django (Video Game)

Boktai is my favorite game series. I first got interested after playing MMBN4 because Otenko seemed like an interesting companion. The solar sensor is what makes people either love or hate the game. I thought it was a really neat idea because it gives the game sort of a more interactive feel. I'll go outside to play, and when I need to recharge my energy, I'll hold up my GBA SP in the same pose as Django. It's very fun. ^_^

The Piledriver in this one is more annoying than in the first because the boss will latch onto the generators and turn them off, so you have to knock it away from the generator as soon as it latches on while dodging its attack (it may not be a coincidence that my favorite purification in the game has no attacks, but it's tricky in its own way... play the game and you'll see why). One thing I really like is the characters and dialogue (ZOMG Django talks!). This is great compared to the first Boktai, which only had a total of six talking characters, four of which were bosses. Speaking of bosses, Boktai 2's final boss is much weirder and less annoying than that of Boktai 1 (and a lot easier for me to draw).

Most fans prefer Boktai 1 because of the gun, but that's another reason why I prefer this one. In the first one, the Gun Del Sol was your only weapon and it couldn't kill anything without using up energy. This one has different kinds of weapons that are more powerful with an enchantment (which uses energy), but still do damage without using up energy, making it easier to play in the dark.

My major gripe about the first one that was fixed here was the fact that Sabata (my favorite character, the purple-haired dude with the black gun) wasn't shown anywhere in the instruction booklet. In this one, he not only has a (very tiny) pic in the instructions, but is also on the box, which made me very happy. In the game, he has his own sprite and is no longer a Django recolor, and has a very nice mugshot.

Sabata is an important character, which is good because he's just so darn lovable. Even my cockatiel likes him (she once tried to preen a picture of him)! I can't wait to get Boktai 3, in which our purple-haired friend plays an even bigger role. ^_^

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun but difficult...., March 23, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Boktai 2 Solar Boy Django (Video Game)

i'm playing the game and on the east coast sunny days don't often i should have gotten the game in the summer...anyway this time around the overall gameplay isn't as linear as the first(more then one weapon,sun light is not absoulutely need)this time sometimes it's better to play in the dar k i won't spoil but fairly big shock this time around but the difficult factor is a little bit more forgiving with easy controls and fairly good graphics this game is a bit like Legend of zelda:link to the past,also the solar sennsor is a big gimmick in a good way(it does't use it as a support to cover up flaws in anyway)
