09, who has formed an entire army of NMC golems, who attack Brea. Working with Kyle Madigan, a private investigator with a mission similar to her own, she finds the NEO-Ark, a showcase of creatures developed with the technology engineered from Brea's body.Īmong the creatures created was Eve, a child cloned of Brea's DNA, making her Brea's daughter is a certain sense. Brea learns that the NMCs were created by the United States military with her own DNA. The Shelter was originally an abandoned mine, but has military laboratories for genetic engineering hidden deep within. With the help of a gun-loving Midwesterner named Douglas and his dog Flint, she discovers the third area of the game, The Shelter. Taking a 70s sports car, Brea follows up this incident by investigating the Midwest town of Dryfield - a creepy, nondescript town consisting of a motel, a gas station, and a diner. 9 blows up the tower with explosives, and Brea escapes by helicopter with Rupert. Wielding a machete, and wearing combat armor and a gas mask, he frequently cackles with maniacal laughter.

She discovers a new strain of creature from the first game, a Neomitochondrial creature which can take human form. She is sent to rendezvous with a swat team, but arrives to find them slaughtered - she is now alone and armed only with her trademark pistol. A special branch called M.I.S.T, the mitochondria investigation and suppression team, has been formed.īrea is called to the Akropolis tower when reports of a mitochondrial infestation are reported.

Seeing the horrific power of Melissa Pierce as Eve, the United States military has been busy studying the phenomenon and adapting it for their weapons program.Īfter the destruction of New York by the mitochondrial menace known as EVE in the original Parasite Eve, protagonist Aya Brea has left the New York Police Department to become an FBI operative. The horrors of mutated mitochondria haven't ended for Aya Brea, as she discovers what happened in the aftermath of the original Parasite Eve. The fire and aim controls moved to the shoulder buttons. Plot The gameplay for Parasite Eve 2 was deeper but less stylish than the original. There are a number of both old and new Parasite Energy skills, most of which are vital to completing the game. Fire and Wind serve as Aya's offensive options, while the elements of Water and Earth compose what could be considered her defensive measures. Parasite Energy has returned, but has been specialized into more compartmentalized sections.

Ammo is practically unlimited, as nearly every area has a limitless supply available that mostly prevents gamers from getting backed against the wall against enemies. The weapons and armor customization has been downgraded somewhat, but also expanded in scope to include many more options-just with much less depth. The combat is now rendered completely in real-time, which allows more freedom for the player but also serves to alienate more ardent RPG fans. Perhaps the biggest departure from the original title is the removal of the ATB (Active Time Bar), thus eliminating the turn-based combat. The RPG elements are intact in some form or another, as the health points and mitochondria points are used once again, but it is mostly the experience points that encourage RPG-style gameplay. Parasite Eve II plays much more like an action game than an RPG, which is a fairly radical departure when compared side-by-side.
