Product Description
Product Description
Aya Brea is back to defend the world from the mitochondrial menace in Parasite Eve II. This story takes place three years after the New York incident of the first game, when the horrible mutations are supposedly a thing of the past. Now working for the FBI in Los Angeles, Aya is called on to join the Mitochondrian Investigation and Suppression Team (MIST) to hunt down dangerous monsters and keep the disease from spreading. To do that, she must unravel the conspiracy that seeks the destruction of all mankind.
Parasite Eve II features an enhanced, real-time battle system that will allow players to use a large array of modern weaponry. These guns, built into the game with realistic fire rates, can even be upgraded with parts that you buy or find. Also on your side is Aya's Parasite Energy, which enables her to harness elemental power, such as a searing column of fire, to fight the monsters.

Three years ago, gamers were introduced to Aya as she resigned from the New York Police Department and enlisted as a NMC (neo-mitochondrion creature) hunter for the shadowy government organization M.I.S.T., a secret agency of monster slayers somewhere between Ghostbusters and Men in Black. Wherever there was a neo-mitochondrion outbreak, Aya and her team were on the scene to put the boots to the mutants. From the outset, it's evident that SquareSoft revamped the entire game to give gamers a better looking, sounding, and (most importantly) playing experience.
The game starts with Aya training in the agency's shooting gallery in Los Angeles. Just as she begins to get in a groove, she is asked to look into some strange happenings at the Akropolis Tower. When she arrives on the scene, an explosive, full-motion video flashes across the screen and showcases the death and carnage as Aya surveys the scene. Her entry into the Tower is where this RPG begins.
SquareSoft has kept some of the excellent elements of the weapons systems from the first Parasite Eve title, but went for an entirely new battle system. Combat is delivered in real time and allows players to run, hide, and open fire. Aya can tap into her parasitic powers and can unleash elemental, magic-based attacks on the many foes she encounters. Ammunition is plentiful in the game and there are plenty of entertaining weapons to choose from. Auto targeting and involving puzzles are back, though the arrow-pointing interface for solving these puzzles is really hard to operate.
The cinematic mix of story and action is very well done, and the numerous cutscenes do an excellent job of moving the pace along in a believable way.
Even though the original Parasite Eve had its problems, SquareSoft has pieced together an excellent sequel that will satisfy fans of the first game and help create many new ones. --Todd Mowatt
Pros:
- New, real-time battle system is an improvement over first Parasite Eve
- Great weapons and plentiful ammunition
- Great mix of story and action Cons:
- Clunky interface for solving puzzles

Parasite Eve II
leider etwas unter. Da ich immer noch gerne auf meiner Play Station-2 zocke, hatte ich beschlossen,mir einige Klassiker wieder zu kaufen - und dies war ganz oben mit auf der Liste.
Parasite Eve II spielt mehrere Jahre nach den Ereignissen des ersten Teils (den ich persönlich nicht gespielt hatte...).
Die Protagonistin aus dem ersten Spiel, Aya Brea, ist auch in diesem Spiel die spielbare Charakterin. Sie bekommt es
mit einem weiteren Ausbruch der mitochondrialen Kreaturen zu tun. Die Polizistin Aya hat sich nach dem alten
Vorfall, nach Los Angeles versetzen....
Es finden keine Dialoge statt, sondern nur Texteinblendungen,was dem ganzen (passend zur musikalischen Untermalung) ein
klein-wenig Final Fantasy-Flair verleiht - aber das gesamte Gameplay eher dem Survival-Horror Genre
zuzuordnen und hat keine Rollenspiel-Elemente enthalten wie der Vorgänger. (nachgelesen)
Parasite Eve 2 ist ein sehr eigenständiger Titel, der sich in der Silent Hill - Resident Evil- Ecke nicht gleichstellen lässt,und das ist auch sehr gut so.
Die Ausrüstung kann durch verschiedene Methoden erhalten werden. Durch Suchen, Einkaufen oder auch
durch Erstellen kann man Gegenstände wie Rüstung, Waffen, Munition und Werkzeuge erhalten.
Im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Survival-Horror-Spielen ist Munition nie Mangelware. Während Aya nur
geringe Mengen von Ausrüstung mit sich tragen kann gibt es unerschöpfliche Munitionskisten in den
meisten Bereichen und man kann beliebig oft Nachladen, was für einen Top-Up erforderlich ist. Dies ermutigt
den Spieler zu kämpfen anstatt zu rennen, da es bei diesem Gameplay die einzige Möglichkeit ist, Erfahrungspunkte
zu sammeln, um stärker zu werden und um erfolgreich zu sein.
Die Ausrüstung folgt dem originalen Spielkonzept und bleibt anpassbar, im Allgemeinen sind veränderte
Waffen oder Rüstungen begrenzt in der Spielwelt verfügbar. Rüstungen minimieren nicht nur das Verletzungsrisiko
sondern haben auch Auswirkungen wie viel Aya tragen kann. So kann man weitere Artikel-Slots hinzufügen ...
Die Parasite Energy sind aufgeteilt in vier Bereiche: die offensiven Elemente sind Feuer und Wind und die defensiven Element sind Wasser und Erde.
Sobald das Spiel abgeschlossen ist werden Bonus-Gegenstände verfügbar, die im Replay-Modus verwendet werden
können. Es werden auch andere Spiel-Modi verfügbar wie Bounty Hunter oder der Scavenger-Modus, die in
ihrer Spielweise schwieriger zu beenden sind. Der schwerste Spielmodus ist der Nightmare-Modus, welcher nur
verfügbar wird wenn man das Spiel im Scavenger-Modus beendet.
Die Steuerung ist recht sperrig - ganz so wie bei den Konkurrenzspielen, die Rätsel recht kniffelig, dennoch hemmt das den Spielspass nicht - Nostalgiespieler,kennen dies ja ohnehin.
Fazit: PE-2 ist ein Klasse Survival-Horror-Spiel, das sich wundervoll von SH, RE Serien abhebt, einen sehr hohen Wiederspielwert hat.....Wer es noch nicht kennt: Kaufempfehlung! Wer es früher mal spielte (wie ich) und es mal wieder auf der PS-1 oder 2 zocken möchte; Pflichtkauf :-)
