Wild ARMs 2 to Playstation Network
The ESRB appears to be regaling us with further previews of future PSN games, this time Wild ARMs 2. The Wild ARMs series was quite popular for the first couple iterations of Playstation, most recently in 2007 with Wild ARMs 5 for the Playstation 2. The particular iteration described here is nearly a decade old, and was the second and final from the series to debut on the original Playstation.
I myself only ever played the demo of WA2, but I seem to recall it being pretty solid fun, featuring the series' unique hook of being set in a fantasy/western setting. Even beyond that, though, it's really great to see that Sony is looking towards RPGs that, while not really obscure, aren't necessarily part of the Square collection that built their empire in the last fifteen years.

I really loved Wild ARMs 2, it's one of my favorite games for the original Playstation and one of my favorites of all time. Good characters, story and gameplay, with excellent music. I was thinking about starting another game of this recently, heh. | |

I have yet to buy any games from the PSN. How much would a game like this normally cost? WA2 looked like a fun game when it came out. | |

The game's aged rather well in all areas except GFX (battling is particularly an eyesore), and it has all those fun mainstays that newer entries to the series lack. And yes, the music is flipping fantastic -- the disc two opening is by far my all-time fave. Still holding out for a remake with my little band of WA2ers, though. | |
