      Yeah I just got this game a week ago, and it was a cloudy day so I was basically screwed for that time, but I know got a chance to play it, and I freakin' love it. One of the reasons why I bought it was because I was cleaning my room for once and I saw an old EGM magazine, and I like looking at old reviews. I skip to the review section, and I happened to land on the review for Boktai. It looked good, and it must've been good since it got a rating of nine (out of ten). I also bought the game because Solar Knight is an interesting guy and his signature kinda got me interested.

      But I want to ask one question: Should I get Boktai 2?

        Short answer:
        YES!

        Long answer:
        Well… if you like the first one, the second one will take some getting used to. First of all, you lose the Gun Del Sol very early in the game, but you will get to use weapons (swords, hammers, spears, and even your bare fists, all of which become stronger as you beat the undead with whichever one you use). Replacing the lenses are Enchantment Magic, which go with the lenses that were previously in the game (except Lunar, but the magic is called Moonlight magic :laugh:). Another kind of magic is Sun magic, which can only be used when you have sunlight (except for one of them). Each had a minimum amount of sunlight so it can be used.

        One thing to gripe about the game though is that the inventory is very limited, so you must think about which items you carry with you. Also, several items spoil after they soak up a certain amount of sunlight (namely fruit).

        Another new aspect is the ability to forge weapons. Unless you forge them almost perfectly, they can take damage over time (there's an armor that prevents this). Something happens to Django after awhile, but I'll put that in a spoiler.

        ! Django is bitten by the vampire that stole the Gun Del Sol, turning him into a vampire. You gain a few new abilities, such as transforming into a bat, mouse, and Enchantment Dark. After beating the immortal where you can only be a vampire, you gain the ability to transform between normal and vampire Django.

        It'd be nice if the third one comes to the US… :unsure:

          Hm I heard there was a 3rd one, but I thought I was just thinking up crap again.

          Oh and I've got a question:
          How do you use the Star lens? I can absorb some power with it, and it says I should do something with it in the bank, but I'm not sure what… Plus this was a used game so the old save data (I deleted both of them right away) had about 800+ Solar Power Battery, so I should be safe for a while...

            Well here's the official site (I dig the music ^^ ).

            As for the Star Lens, all it does is directly transfer energy to the Solar Stations (which you can transfer to the bank). If you get a certain amount of energy collected (not stored), the Solar Tree matures. Once you get a certain amount, it becomes pink, and you get something called the Astro Battery (I think. haven't gotten it since I haven't played it in ages), which apparently takes energy directly from your Solar Station.

            Oh, and which point are you at in that game?

              Um well so far I'm stuck at the dillusional forest. I do what Otenko says, but…I get nowhere with it.

                Well here's what you do. It's very important that you pay attention to Django's shadow when you move from one part of the forest to the next. The place (In my opinion) is the easiest S rank in the game. You're probably past that part, huh?

                Oh, and I found something for the DS version of Boktai. I lurk the GameFAQs pages for it (along with the Shin Bokura no Taiyoh ^^ ), and the DS one… probably won't have the solar sensor!

                Shame there aren't many Boktai fans here (don't get to talk about it with anyone XD ). =\

                  Probably because the device (sun-senor) which makes it such a fun game is what more or less makes it a pain, but this is just mym two cents.

                    So Boktai for the DS may not have a solar sensor? That's like taking Luffy out of One Piece. Now I completely understand what the Dillusion Forest part is (now that I look back at it, it's ingenious).

                      Hoo, been about a month. I was too lazy at putting this here… >.>; Credits go to the boktai board on GameFAQs (oh, and the person holding the DS is Django from the manga).

                      Now the wait for Megaman Battle Network 6… yes, 6 (what does Capcom think the series is, a sports title?). Depending if a certain feature is in the english version of the game, Boktai 3 may come here. Just another bit of information I found at GameFAQs.

                        And I did read in an article that the DS version won't have the solar sensor. Oh well, as long as it's as good as the first game.

                          What article might this be?

                          Kojima + DS = …?

                            I read it in a magazine called Electronic Gaming Monthly. It had a list of games to look forward to in 2006, and Boktai was one of them. I think it said "And this time, there will be no sun sensor, so you don't have to go outside so much".

                            And another thing…They had a manga about Boktai? Is it Japan only?

                            Sure does look different with red hair...

                              Well that's a shame (but like what Sandai Mera said, that's what made the game more-or-less a pain for some). =/

                              The manga IS in english. Thing is, it's in Singapore. And I don't think the site I found it on delivers overseas. Otenko looks… heh, pretty. xD
