Boasting a seemingly self-aware style of humour, you’ll hear characters chiding other characters for the tropes and clichés associated with whatever game they come from. While the story itself isn’t the strongest offering the characters and their writing are well done. It’s a ridiculous premise that’s made worse by the games insistence on taking it so seriously. Strange gold chains have appeared throughout the worlds and it’s up to the cast of characters to unite to destroy them and take the right side in his bizarre otherworldly war. It follows the conflict between two large organizations – one a clandestine government branch and another a more supernatural one that opens dimensional rifts between worlds. And that’s not necessarily a good thing.Īs I mentioned in my original Project X Zone review, the storyline for this game is haphazardly thrown together in order to justify the presence of all these characters from all these different fictional universes.
While the sequel introduces even more characters to the fold, it unfortunately falls flat and victim to almost every issue that its predecessor did. Project X Zone brings together all kinds of characters from Capcom, SEGA, Namco and even Nintendo’s storied history to create a strange, fan service laden experience. Namco x Capcom was a strange game for the PS2, and yet slightly similar, and yet that didn’t release at all. When Project X Zone actually came out in stores I was shocked that anybody would even bother.
