IGN writes: "A few short months ago, Square Enix released a remake of the original Star Ocean in the form of Star Ocean: First Departure. In my review of the game, I mentioned that I had a particular affinity for the game's sequel, Star Ocean: The Second Story. As you already know, Square Enix also had plans to remake Second Story, which is now arriving on Sony's portable under the name Star Ocean: Second Evolution. I was very eager to play through this RPG, considering my fond memories of the original from many years ago. Second Evolution is definitely a superior game to First Departure and -- despite retaining some of its predecessor's flaws -- will entertain RPG enthusiasts hoping to get a taste of a classic fantasy/sci-fi experience."
