Action-heavy sword game adds depth; still for older teens.

Not as bad as it seems
Is It Any Good?
It would have been easy for Chair Entertainment to simply rest on its laurels with INFINITY BLADE II. The first game, after all, was a smash hit. And while there is a certain sense of sameness with this sequel, there are also new role-playing elements that make it feel less like a treadmill. The game is once again a graphical tour de force and still caters well to the quick-play philosophy that iOS gamers embrace. Unfortunately, some of the original game's weaknesses remain. Though there are a number of weapons and spells at your disposal, there's not a lot of variety in the battles, which makes long sessions with the game sometimes feel a bit repetitive (though not nearly as fast as the original).
Ultimately, that doesn't drag down the game, though. Like its predecessor, this is an app that is great looking and a fun action title, broken into digestible segments that keep it from getting frustrating. And the added emphasis on story, while at times confusing, is a nice new touch.
