    Principal at school forgot to invite me when my son got an award & invited me last minute & I was unable to attend. So as a proud mother of my son I decided to buy him this game he has been looking at in every store. Thank you!

    A fun "shooter" that is kid appropriate

    Splatoon 2 is Nintendo's take on the shooter genre. It's cartoony, and fun and it's theme is appropriate for kids, however there is some depth there with regards to the various paint guns and the game play mechanic of winning for having more paint covering the arena than the other side. Overall, this game is surprisingly fun. It also has a single player mode that, while not remarkable, is fun to make your way through the various levels.

    I didn’t realize that this was an online game, And unless you’re a liar and the game is pretty much useless. I should’ve done more research. Now with that being said, once I got online the game is pretty awesome. My six-year-old girls love it.

    30 hours in the game so far, lot of fun. Would recommend it. Matches are no more than 3 minutes, which makes it very casual-friendly. I think my only gripe with the game so far is Salmon Run's difficulty scaling. It ramps up very quickly. Currently struggling to stay in "profeshional."

    We own a few switches and got three copies of this. The kids and I have been playing this almost non stop together for days now. I can safely say from their delighted cheers and boos when they lose, that they are loving every minute. Its fun, clean, and kid friendly. Highly recommended!

    Bought this for my son for Christmas. I’m sure he’ll love it, he talks about it all the time. Will not play it until then so cannot comment on game play yet. Purchase was fast and easy, so was curbside pickup, very convenient.

    Splatoon 2 builds upon the success of the first game and actually changes quite a few things in terms of abilities and how a few things work, getting rid of all previous specials in favor of more team-oriented ones that don't make you invincible, which is overall a good thing. The game still plays the same in many ways, but being portable on the switch and the small changes that were made leads to it feeling pretty worth it to me.

    Like the title of the review says, this is a definite "must buy" for Switch owners. It's got so much more content and feels slightly more refined than the first Splatoon. If you liked the first or are considering picking this up, don't hesitate, just do it! You'll have a blast, I promise!

    My son and I have been playing the heck out of this game. The best way I can describe it is call of duty but with paint. The game is super kid friendly and has tons of options to upgrade your paint guns, clothes, etc. This is no doubt a one of a kind game and I highly recommend it.

    I played the original and thought it was a good game but it just didn't match up with how good I thought it could have been. This sequel is significantly more fun. So much so that my wife and I bought a second Switch and a second copy of the game so that we can play it online together

    This is a fun way to introduce your young kids to shooting games. I know some parents are concerned about blood and guts. Buy your kids this game and it'll provide them with hours of fun game play. Adults will also enjoy it but may get bored of the cartoon graphics.

    Splatoon 2 hits all the right spots the first game did and then some. Salmon Run is a difficult, yet welcome addition to the team, and much needed balances were made and now we're no logner living in the world of roller meta! If you loved splatoon 1, I'd highly recommend this game

    Splatoon 2 is the follow up to one of the few bright spots from Nintendo's ill-fated Wii U. The sequel takes the approach "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I find it just as fun as the first, that being said the not "fixing" it does have a down side. They still haven't fix some of the issues people had with the first game, like MAP rotations. But overall it's a nice addition to the ever growing Nintendo Switch library

    Addicting and fun. You will not put it down as online matches are either 3 to 5 minutes, depending on mode played, making it feel fresh as tons of weapons and clothing make it feel new every time. The colors and visuals are excellent to look at plus the soundtrack is Superb.

    Splatoon 2's biggest feature is it's variety from everything else on Switch, The story mode is extremely boring and repetitive but the online play is enough to be able to pick up and play once in awhile. The game is gorgeous overall but wouldn't recommend buying unless it's on sale.

    A lot of times people are afraid of getting in mulit player online, feeling they wont know what to do. But Splatoon 2 handles this well with a small story line to get you accustomed to all weapons and teaching you steps to get the most of your game and when you get on line and start a game it just feels like you known how to play all the time. This is one of those games that will stay with you as long as you have the Switch.

    Colorful, Stylish, and Fun

    Overall, Splatoon 2 takes a lot from Splatoon. The campaign is very similar, though you can finally play through every level with all types of weapons without needing amiibo. The multiplayer is the same great Splatoon from the Wii U. Entirely new (and better balanced) supers, some fun new weapons, and a handful of new stages help add some life. Though the pool still feels limited as of now. My favorite new feature is the Salmon Run though. It's a horde mode where four inklings face off against a bunch of salmon, trying to collect golden eggs. There's no competition with your fellow player here. It's cooperate or die. You aren't allowed to choose your weapons, instead being given one of four preselected weapons randomly. Which works out better than it sounds. There's a nice variety of enemies in this mode. But some strange choices on Nintendo's part really hurts it. You can't play it whenever you want, instead forced into specific time slots that chance constantly. You can't even try it solo for fun. And, as of now, there only seem to be two maps available. I love the mode and it's my favorite part of the game. But without some changes and support for it, it's something that'll likely get boring fairly quickly. Overall, with Salmon Run not being fleshed out more and limited in terms of availability, the game does feel quite a bit like Splatoon 1.5 for all the good and bad that comes with. Hopefully we'll get more support for it as time goes on. If you're looking for a fun shooter and/or skipped out on Splatoon/the Wii U, I'd give this one a look at least.

    This game is fun to play. Never played wii u version but this one is a blast. Downside of this game is it only have online multiplayer, no offline game for salmon run. And last you might get ban / blocked if you have bad internet connection which keeps disconnects your online game.
