SquareSoft yet again unleashes another classic, this time in the form of this two disc epic, Parasite Eve 2. Having never played the original Parasite Eve I thought that the plot of part two would be incomprehensible, but to my surprise the game reveals its storyline gradually as you progress. The lead character Aya Brea is working for a secret government agency M.I.S.T that has to track down renegade mutant creatures wherever they may pop up. The public is unaware of this evil around them and thus investigations must be conducted in secret. All this however takes a nosedive when a group of creatures attack a large multi-story building, slaughtering everyone inside. When you arrive on the scene you're confronted by a strange half human creature…show more content… Most of these fall into the freaky mutant category (mutated horses, scorpions and moths) but there are some very disturbing ones as well. These include small baby-like creatures that explode when you get nearby, invisible bug things that look like miniature versions of those things in Starship Troopers and of course the Golems. You're main adversary is an armor covered mutant that thinks nothing of taking a full ammo clip in the face and then laughing at you. Another area this game delivers the goods in is the bosses. You might have thought Nemesis is scary, but wait till you get a load of these guys. Imagine if you will a creature that towers over you while you fight him from the second floor of a building. All while he's trying to fry you with the flame thrower embedded in his mouth. Then there is a huge horse-like thing that you kill after much misery only to watch it stand up again and continue the fight. In fact that's a re-occurring theme in this game. You can be sure the thing you just killed is going to get back up and fight twice as hard as before. I don't even want to talk about the lovely chap I met down in the garbage
