What an excellent return to form for Final Fantasy. Personally I liked XIII too but the general feeling was it was too linear. This game changes that. It's a completely new game with all sorts of new features. It's full of side quests and non-linear maps. They changed the battle system by having two main characters (one NPC from XIII and a new character) and a third battle partner being a captured and enslaved mob. (Yes like pokemon… but still awesome). The story is as complex as XIII and follows on from that so you will find it easier to follow if you played through XIII first. If you want a good JRPG this has to be right up there on your list.
Not a game for people that aren't fans of the FF series. However if you are, this is just more of the stuff you enjoy. I played through FFXIII despite the negative reviews and really enjoyed it and so far I am enjoying this just as much if not a bit more. 8/10
Compatible with DLC from the NZ/AU Xbox Live Marketplace.

Reviews
“Square Enix should be commended for addressing Final Fantasy XIII's problems and for once again delivering a fun and highly playable RPG glowing with visual beauty and saturated with simple but universal sentiments. Nevertheless, the improvements feel less weighty than they might have–mechanical triumphs in a game that feels less than the sum of its parts. You won't perform awe-inspiring summons as a matter of course, and the ending–well, the ending isn't likely to leave you with the sense of closure you might want. Yet the monster collection and time-hopping freedom alone are enough to make it worth embarking on this enjoyable adventure.” Gamespot 7.5/10
“Story gripes aside, Final Fantasy XIII-2 is just hands-down better than Final Fantasy XIII. It has more replay value, a more compelling battle system, an open world, an innovative exploration premise, and much more. If Final Fantasy XIII's laundry list of flaws turned you off to the Final Fantasy franchise, then Final Fantasy XIII-2 will get you back in.” Cheat Code Central
“…proves itself the better game, but it lacks the same focused storytelling employed in the original. It benefits from an improved battle system, open environments, and an overall level of polish…” 8/10 Great. IGN
IGN RATINGS FOR FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 (X360)
7.0 Presentation
Extreme polish in almost all user systems. Organized menus, clear tutorials, and
a fun sense of humor. Story only reaches emotional clarity at the conclusion and
offers no closure.
8.5 Graphics
Eye-catching characters and colorful worlds. Not quite as impressive as when the
original launched in 2010, but still full of personality and an ample usage of
pink and purple.
9.0 Sound
Excellent voice work from the actors behind Serah and Noel, with solid
performances from the rest of the supporting cast. A great soundtrack with more
vocals than most Final Fantasy games to date.
8.0 Gameplay
Fast battles supported by a fun monster collection system. Still fairly easy for
the JRPG experienced, though the new focus on exploration lends much to the
package.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
Tremendous post-game content, considering you can beat the main quest with about
40 of the 160 collectible memory fragments. Easy to return to the world and
continue fighting after the credits roll.
8.0
