Description
Wild Arms 2!: What legends are made of.

A sequel from the producers of Wild Arms and Legend of Legaia.

Review
A rather impressively long demo based off of the three main characters. As you progress through each story, you’ll earn character specific abilities, like Ashley’s knife toss or Brad’s kick.

The game map is divided into ‘dungeon’ like areas, such as ruins or forests, and then the main world map. Once you get the map, you’ll be able to reach towns and the like. What’s nifty is a search that sonar allows you to scan the area and find small trinkets and treasures. Even more interesting is that towns you have not been to will not show up unless you discover them with the sonar.

Added to this is a rather amusing inclusion of anime inspired in-jokes. When Brad first uses his Kick Ability, and tackles his first boss, there are several ‘three-peat’ sequences showing the shot from three different angles.

See the game’s main page for more information.

• The demo allows each of the three characters to be played in a minor scenario. Start to finish, with an average amount of battles, has the disc running at about 2 to 3 hours of play time!
   
• There were two releases of the same demo disc. The first is the retail sleeve version, which included a coupon when given out at EB Games / EBX. The other version was a tri-fold case that was sent to members of the PlayStation Underground. 
   
• Brad’s dog’s name is Rassyu. If you play with it phonetically, it’s a slurred version of ‘rescue’, which is precisely what the pet does, twice in the demo alone!
   
• The tri-fold version has 5 hidden lines that are glazed onto the case. If you tilt the case into the light, the clear surface printing will show through, with over-size letters. These letters form the word FLAME, which answers a quiz on the spine of the tri-fold case.

Variations / Misprints
Like many of Sony's first party demo releases, there is a retail sleeve version, and a PlayStation Underground special case version.

Here's the Tri-fold version, opened up:

The demo disc is the same, the only difference is the actual holder for it. Here is the retail version given to customers.
