Parasite Eve II (PlayStation)

Parasite Eve II is an action RPG / survival horror game produce by Squaresoft for the PlayStation. It was released in 1999 and is of course the sequel to parasite Eve.

The control system is typical of such games, at least early on, using tank controls which presents movement from a player perspective rather than a camera perspective. The player does have more freedom of movement in this game vs. its predecessor creating a little more of an open world feel, however you are normally only seeing one room at a time so action generally takes place in a confined area. Another difference from the original is that combat is in real-time.

Parasite Eve II is set three years after the events of the first game. The main character and your avatar, Aya Brea, now works for the FBI as part of something called the Mitochondrial Investigation and Suppression Team. Anyway, the plot involves more Neo-Mitochondrial Creatures, cyborgs, corruption in the FBI and so-forth. Aya has special abilities governed by "parasite energy".

Parasite Eve II was worked on by the same developers as the original so there is some continuity there. The story was directed and written by the same person that wrote and directed Resident Evil. This game generally got positive reviews and if you are a fan of survival horror then I would say it is definitely one you should try. You can always track down an original copy and it was also released as part of the Square Millennium Collection in 2000 and as part of the PSone Books line in 2002. Parasite Eve II was also released on the North American PlayStation Network in 2011. Emulation is always an option as well. Personally, I still like my games in physical form.
