    Mini Review: Returning to the scene of the crime has never felt this good before

    I really liked Danganronpa Triger Happy Havoc and this sequel is more of the same thing. Everything that was great about the first game has been improved yet the same thing can be said about the negatives. The cast is just as eccentric as before with a new set of ultimate talents. Along with the overall mystery of why Monokuma is back to his old ways again will keep you hooked till the end of the game.Putting together what you thought happened and figuring out the murderer is still exciting as well. Even using the clues you find to poke holes or agree with someone's agument during a class trial is still a good mechanic.

    Yet every other mini game during the trial has gotten worse. Hangman's gambit is now more annoying thanks to the fact that letters can collide and damage the life bar. Logic dive is a simple mini game where you control a snowboarding character along a digital course that is laid with traps and questions that must be answered by picking the right path. Even the panic talk action music game doesn't seem to work correctly since hitting the button on the beat doesn't always work. But thanks to the compelling story and interesting characters it is possible to look past the flaws and see a likable murderous fun time. If your interested in a game with a great story then check this one out.

Instead of learning its lessons from the first game, Danganronpa 2 repeats the same mista...

      Hello insanity 0

      After the way the first game in the series - Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc - ended without any proper resolution for our survivors, I was eagerly awaiting the answers to just what was going on out there in the world after the much ballyhooed "most biggest, most awful, most tragic event in human history". And I got those answers... quite a bit later. For better or worse, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair spends the vast majority of it's time completely removed from the events of the first game an...
