Champions:Return to Arms is the sequel to Champions of Norrath. This review has 2 sections. One for those new to Champions, and one for those who played the original. ---IF YOU'RE NEW TO CHAMPIONS--- Return to Arms continues the story of Champions and if you jump into this game first, you may not understand as much to what is going on. This game has more features than the original though. The graphics are really good for the PS2, with a great soundtrack, but so was the first. The series is a hack-&-slash and the variety of gameplay really comes from the different class choices, hundreds of weapons, and a dozen spells per class that you unlock as you level up which can also be upgraded. There is a huge selection of equipment which are random drops, and even the stores will change and offer random selections. The enemies are very diverse in appearance, and most will approach you differently. There are more than a dozen unique enviroments with a boss fight or two in each area. Both Champions take around 15-20 hours a playthrough to beat. When you beat the game, you can continue on a higher difficulty with the same character. As a stand-alone game, its great and I recommend it to those still playing PS2 games. ---IF YOU PLAYED THE FIRST CHAMPIONS--- There is a lot of coping-and-pasting from the first game but with more to do. Most of the sounds, music, enemies, environments, gameplay, and more are identical. The class select only adds 2 new races. You can upload your save file from the first Champions and play as any of your previous characters. The big differences, from the first Champions to the second, are that there are two main quests, and a dozen mini-games. You can either follow the quest for good or evil. Each tell a different story and have bosses specific for their quests. Its a great game but not much has changed since the first Champions so I can only recommend Return to Arms if you loved the original and couldn't get enough.

This game is great, we all know that, but the thing is, newer games like Medal of Honor or something else, pass this game. This is a really good game if you just want to relax and cut somethin up.
