  5.0

  Choppy framerates and animation, repetitive quests and story presentation, feeling the need to shower after each session are the downsides of the game. While standard battles are generally a pushover, there are some genuinely fierce boss fights that put the new combat elements to good use. These more challenging encounters are quite fun, and battles with the bigger bosses are a high point of the game.

  The gameplay takes a huge step forward to provide the fun, albeit easy, combat that the first game lacked. However, the story takes a huge step back, making even the game of golf seem interesting, which becomes even more frustrating with the quick and small dungeons that push you quickly back to the story. The game is a bit short for its genre, clocking in right around 20 hours, but even with the shortcomings of the story, the easy but fun combat, along with item and party customization options, should be enough to keep you interested for the 20 hour trek.

  Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 isn't the worst game I've ever played, and it certainly isn't broken. However, it's far from good, and pretty much any other JRPG you can pick up for the PlayStation 3 is better than this. The game tries to be clever with its self-referential plot, but it comes off as looking like a cheap Disgaea clone instead.

  Mk2 solidifies the Hyperdimension Neptunia series as one of those great ideas that seems doomed to persistently mediocre execution. Hopes that Compile Heart would continue their upward trend in quality from Trinity Universe and Hyperdimension Neptunia have been dashed, as anything that didn't work in the first game has been ditched (instead of being improved upon), and the main character lost her shine. Fans of the genre will still find the game worth playing, just as I did, but I'm almost glad that there isn't anywhere for the series to go from here.

  So ist Hyperdimension Neptunia MK2 ein Spiel, das sich ganz bewusst jeglicher Art von Mainstream-Tauglichkeit verweigert, ja, das so sogar ganz aktiv Spieler, die nicht genau in seine ganz spezielle Zielgruppe fallen, abschreckt und verstört. Gehört ihr zu dieser Zielgruppe, dann werdet ihr das neue Hyperdimension Neptunia lieben. Alle anderen tun sich dagegen eher schwer.
