The main problem here is that the gameplay, for the most part, is the same. You're still dishing out counter-attacks, main combo strikes and other moves on a 2.5-D level, smacking around a human or computer opponent while powering up specific attacks. That's not to say it doesn't work, but for a third go-around in a series, you would think that CyberConnect 2 would have something more mind-blowing. It does have one interesting twist, though, and that's with Summoning. With this neat little addition, you're able to grow in size or call upon a giant creature to do some damage for you."
