Drakengard 2 is, of course, the sequel to Cavia's 2003 title, Drakengard (or Drag-On Dragoon). The game improves on the original game in various aspects, from the audio/visuals to storytelling and general flow, turning a mediocre hack and slash that many relegated to "A poor clone of the modern Dynasty Warrior games" into a game more along the lines of "A good combination of modern Dynasty Warriors with more compelling characters and a smidge of Panzer Dragoon or SkyGunner for good effect". As the game is a proper sequel, it recaps some of the events of the first game, but you won't fully understand Caim and crew unless you've played the original, so this fact may determine how much you enjoy Drakengard 2 as a standalone title. It's hard for me to actually recommend the original though, even though it had a few decent story segments... Taking place almost 20 years after the first game, you assume control of a young demi-human named Nowe, who was raised by a stern but kind blue drago...
