You are the son of a legendary vampire hunter who with the power of the sun sets out on a journey to ride the world of vampiric evil. if this sounds interesting read on. This game is so different from the first but at the same time retainsthats which made the first game so fun and unique. instead of a gun with different parts you hunt down you use melee weapons, such as swords, hammers and spears, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. As you get multiple weapons you can forge them to create stronger ones.

The solar panel creates a twist on the gameplay. A cool little note is that if you play in sunlight the game will have rays shine through windows and such a neat little graphic effect. Sadly the need for sunlight at certain parts can create some issues like trying to find the perfect spot for sunlight, twisting around in the most awkward positions to get the sunlight just right. of course you can always cheat and use a black light.

The game follows a zelda path. you travel around the world to different dungeons where you solve puzzles to continue on and then fight the boss.

Bottom line: If you crave a unique action adventure game this is a great pick, some great puzzles, plenty of weapons and items to unlock some cool sidemissions all in all a very fun game!

The sequel to the super-fun Boktai: The sun is in your Hand, is AWESOME!!
However, instead of the GunDelSol, you will weild swords for most of your adventure. Plus the fun Megaman sidequest and items makes it even more fun. Too bad they haven't released Boktai3: Sabata's counter attack, (If I remember correctly) over here yet...Oh well, I recommend Boktai 1&2.

and we ended up arguing who should play it!!! Boktai 2 breaks my misconception that Gameboy Advance games are usually formulaic at best. The game combines Zelda-ish action RPG with irresistable fanboy themes of spaghetti westerns and vampire hunting. Add to that a very inventive solar element and inventive gameplay, I actually look forward and make some time to play it, as opposed to playing it because I'm just bored.

This is the first Boktai game I've played, and although knowing the backstory helps, the game guides you enough so you won't feel lost.

I must admit that my son is better at this game. But the addictive nature of Boktai 2 made me try hard (and admittedly, download a walkthrough) to finish it. It is satisfying and challenging, even for adults.

In Boktai 2, you reprise your role as Django, the vampire hunter. Him and his trusy mentor, Otenko, have ended up in the town of San Miguel on their journey where they discover something called the 'undeadening' is threatening the place. Soon, he finds out that the immortals are nearby regaining their strength in numbers and that's where the story begins. Though, the game still has the twist of playing the game in the sunlight to defeat the immortals, the game is played quite differently this time around. Because of that, Boktai 2 feels like a totally brand-new game instead of a rehash of the first game. There's alot more backstory this time around in which you find out more about Django's family and the reason for his rivalry with Sabata among other things. Don't come into Boktai 2 expecting it to be a cakewalk like the first game, Boktai 2 is alot more challenging with it's puzzles and bosses. Almost to the point of becoming frustrating but not quite.

My biggest gripe with the first game was that it was too short. Thankfully, they fixed that this time around and made the game twice as long as the first.

Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django is a great sequel to the first game. It's a must-play for all the Gameboy Advance owners out there. I guarantee you'll like this series, even though playing in the sun might be a bother. I hope we see future iterations of this series on the Nintendo DS in some way. I'd like to delve more into the lives of Django, Sabata, and the immortals.

My point : i really like this game ! i like the whole kill and slay the vampire thing . I also really like having swords and making weapons out of others slashing boks to get your levels up! but also its sooo! hard you ask otenko and he tells you what to do but not exactly everything . i really like this game and i like playing multyplayer .

review: this game is awesome you play as a boy named django (you might see him in mmbn4 or 5 ) he is the solar boy and he controls the solar gun,gun del sol .anyway you return to his home town the city of the sun . but the "dark side" has taken over so you have to go to different places find the the boss kill him put him in a coffin take him to this one place where he dies and do this again . you can buy weapons make them sell them,shop around in the mall . you can also play outside and enjoy some of the features like restoring energy . play multyplayer with up to 4 friends and also withh mmbn5 and hunt down shade man .

May The Sun Be With you
