White Knight Chronicles 2 finally came to the U.S. last month, continuing the story started in the first WKC. Level-5 promised graphical and gameplay improvements; however, does it make good on these promises? Let's find out in our Co-Op Review.

White Knight Chronicles 2 released in the PAL region last month, but JRPG enthusiasts state-side are still without their fix for huge medieval gundams.
