But regardless of what styles and genres Dark Cloud 2 attempts to combine, the game is a straight-up RPG at its core, and I couldn't be more thankful. Gameplay Dark Cloud 2, like the original Dark Cloud, is a compelling m¿lange of gameplay styles that may feel awkward at first, but slowly settles into a comfortable pace after a few hours of play. Did they succeed in outdoing not only themselves, but also the competition? Absolutely. Now, there are a slew of great RPGs currently available, making Level-5's job of creating a standout sequel that much harder. The original Dark Cloud was a big hit on the PS2, not only because it was a great game, but also because it was one of the only RPGs out on the PS2 at the time.
