A Grandia 2 review was posted at RPG Codex. It's a rather detailed one, without a numerical rating and this rather unimpressed summary:
If it's not obvious from my frequent use of the word up to now, let me reiterate. Grandia II is a very cliché game. The world, characters, story and graphics are clichés. The text on the back of the box is cliché. The main characters hair is cliché. It's unabashedly childish, often silly and usually predictable. But it's a very well-made game, with pretty graphics to ogle, some lovably corny dialogue to read and a people you actually start to care about to rescue. Above all issues with sound, conversion from console and such stands the fact that Grandia II is just plain fun.
You probably have to be somewhat childish to appreciate it, it's certainly not the most mature of games, and you'd better not be expecting anything but a typical console-styled RPG. But given that, Grandia II is a very amusing distraction from day-to-day toil with cute girls in distress, evil gods on the rampage and cynical teenagers with overdimensioned swords saving the world from certain destruction. What more can you ask for? |
