Customer Ratings & Reviews

Splatoon 2 is a solid fun new take on your average shooter genre. It's great and worth the purchase. So let me just hit the few negatives. Make it easier to play with friends and chat. This is more of a switch system level update needed. And salmon run is awesome! Let me play it when I WANT!!!! But all in all Nintendo is killing it with the switch releases so far.

This seems to be a very entertaining game. I haven’t master all of the options yet because that is the way all my games have been by Nintendo. My generation needs more instructions. Otherwise I have enjoyed playing solo. I haven’t tried multiplayer game yet.

This game is a lot of fun and there is a bit of a learning curve but I love the colors and how bright it is and the gameplay is enjoyable. Great for individual or multiplayer. One thing I'd like to note to vertigo or motion sickness sufferers. I became quite nauseous and was like that for a while after playing for the first time. I think if you're susceptible or suffer from this kind of thing there is a chance of this happening. I was fine the next time around because I turned off motion control. All in all, it's a fun game.

I bought this game for my 6 yr old son who thought that this game looked cool. I have never played the first one but this one seems fun!!! Be careful with playing it on the switch screen and not the tv since you could get a little dizzy and run into something. I cant wait to beat this game and put it down. I'm hoping the online gameplay isnt too tough.

I never played the original Splatoon and only purchased this because the first was well received and I wanted something different for the Switch. This is unlike any other first-person "shooter" and I found myself enjoying it more than the traditional shooting games. Additional plus is that it's one of the few online multiplayer Switch games out right now.

No splitscreen multiplayer and there's not much to the campaign. Only buy if you're going to play the online multiplayer, which is pretty fun.

Fun game! Both of my daughters enjoy it! Online play is nice too.

The original Splatoon was a unique, family-friendly take on team shooters, and Splatoon 2 expands on that established formula. The main match mode is Turf War: a 4-vs-4 mode where the goal is to cover as much of the level as possible in your team's ink color. KDR, kills, and killstreaks provide no bonus score, so this encourages players to actually focus on the match's objective, rather than ignore it to rack up a high kill count. Salmon Run is a new survival mode whereby you have to work as a team to take down bosses and collect the spoils before time runs out. There are also three Ranked match modes, each with different objectives, where you're matched against similarly ranked opponents, and your rank rises or falls based on winning or losing. Splatoon can utilize Amiibos to grant new equipment, or save favorite loadouts, but the abilities that come from Amiibo equipment are random, and equally available through normal gameplay, meaning the game is not pay-to-win. All DLC is also free, currently released on a weekly basis, so you don't have to worry about making additional purchases after owning the game for a few months. If you're looking for an online multiplayer game with unique gameplay that the whole family can enjoy, Splatoon 2 is definitely recommended!

You don't need to be very good at shooters to even enjoy this game. All you have to focus on is painting away if you want to and you'll have a blast! I could lose 15 matches online in a row and I'll still be having a blast. Parents, no need to worry about your kids talking to strangers online either, it's not required. This game is worth every penny!!!

I bought this game on launch because I had heard it was one of the better shooters to be released recently. I like it because it's not first-person. You get to see your character on the screen. The basic idea of this game is that you have to use shoot or throw paint at your enemies to win. But there's modes that add different challenges. For example, in Turf War, two teams of four have to battle it out to try to cover the stage in as much paint as possible. The team who covers more of the stage wins. This is the mode I play most. There's also Ranked Battles, in which two teams have to compete to control a moving platform for as long as possible. These are the only two I've played so far but I've had a blast! I just wish there was a way to communicate I wth other players online to strategize. Another near feature is that there are lots of different weapons for you to experiment with. I stick to a paint roller because it usually downs enemies in one hit, but it's very short range. If that's not your style, you can snipe with a paint gun or throw buckets of paint at enemies. The many weapons ensure you'll be playing this game for a long time. Another cool thing is that you don't have to pay for online yet! No better time to pick this up than now!

Splatoon is back and better than ever. We pre-ordered this game and it is a blast! The salmon run is a super fun mode where you fight waves of different inklings in order to gain points to be used used on fresh gear. The single player mode has mission statuses in order to follow a story and find out what happened to Callie. Overall a great buy! Stay Fresh!

This game is incredibly fun. Instead of the stereotypical violent shooter, you are actually shooting paint. The way the game is set up makes it different from other shooters like Call of Duty, while still having similar mechanics as to not alienate that player base. My biggest gripe with the game has to do with the Switch system itself. Voice chat would have improved this game tremendously, but the Switch system itself isn't able to voice chat natively, relegating it to an app for your phone (which doesn't work well anyway).

There is a reason this game is outselling what I consider one of the best games ever, Zelda, Breath of the Wild. This game has a fun factor off the charts and is easy to play online. All levels of players can have fun with this and I would not be surprised if we start seeing Splatoon tournaments springing up at different venues. A must have Nintendo game!

Splatoon 2 is one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch. I honestly think it is the best multiplayer game on the Nintendo Switch! You play as squids who compete to ink an entire map or compete in more varieties of "ink matches" against other squids! It is family friendly and very competitive for all ages! It's a must have for all Switch owners!

Now this game is just plain fun. i never got a chance to play the first one but it always looked like a blast so I bought the sequel on a whim! Glad I did. It has a few downfalls, such as the a lack of chat features, but this is just one of nintendo's quirks and doesn't affect the gameplay negatively for me. Either way, game is fun, safe for kids! Enjoy

They added more guns and and costumes the rank mode is very fun.

This game is one of the first must have titles on Switch - I never got around to owning the first Splatoon but decided to buy this because it looked like so much fun - and it turned out to be a ton of fun. I particularly like the new Salmon Run mode which lets you partner with three other players online to fend against wave after wave of enemies. A+!

Before purchasing Splatoon 2, life was normal. But soon after, I got diagnosed as an inkling and I'm coping with the harsh reality. "You're a kid. You're a squid." My doctor told me this in as calm a voice as possible, but it didn't minimize the impact any less. Soon, I learned it wasn't too bad. Salmon Run is pretty fun. 7.8/10 Too much water.

When I first heard of the game I thought it looked silly but it had great reviews. I thought to myself "how much fun can spraying paint possibly be"? It turns it that it is incredibly fun. The game has an incredible amount of weapons, clothing and upgrades for both. Do yourself a favor, go and buy this game.....and start shooting paint everywhere!

If you have never played platoon on the Wii U, be sure and pick up platoon 2 as it is one of the funnest games Nintendo has released in a while. It is a like a friendly version of call of duty but with a whole to perspective. online battles are about covering the floors with paint and whoever paints the most at the end wins. Don't sleep on this one.
