Customer Ratings & Reviews

Splatoon is a third person shooter where the goal is not necessarily to kill other players, but to spray more ink than your opponents and cover the most territory. It's an interesting take that people of all ages can enjoy.

It's hard to find full lobbies, but still manageable if you're patient. I'd say to get it if you're mainly looking to experience the story mode and the octo expansion.

I was one of the few people that played the original and while I was not sure if the sequel was going to be as good, I feel like I was right because... ITS TEN TIMES BETTER. I don't know how, but this game WITH THE OCTALING EXPANSION has a better story than the first, and it adds so much to the game. Multiplayer really stands out, but even we are talking about the story mode alone is worth a purchase. This game is so good and I had to buy it not once for me, but twice from my friend as well. If you have a switch there is no reason to not get this game. It's a fun time and its something that can be played at any pace. The online is excellent, and it will keep you entertained for days on end since they are always doing online game events called splatfests.

This was bought for my grandson for Christmas. Unfotunately, he already had this game. The exchange process was painless at Best Buy and he loves the next episode of the same game.

I bought this game 2 days ago and I find myself playing it way too much. It is a fun game for all ages. It is like a mix between paintball and call of duty without the violence. Only downfall is you cannot play multiplayer split screen.

I love the original on wiiu so I was very excited to try out the sequel. It's much the same in terms of content and game play, but it has enough upgrades to the formula to be a must buy. If you enjoyed the original you will love this as well.

This game is really fun, and has great multi-player experiences! With the Nintendo Switch you can take it on the go with you anywhere!!! Sadly, I'm not very good at the game, so I lose a lot, but I still get a lot of enjoyment out of it!

I purchased for me son who loves the Splatoon series. He enjoyed this versus the original that he also enjoyed. More options and levels plus the bonus levels. A great purchase.

Don't let the kiddie coating fool you, Splatoon 2 has a lot of depth that, in classic Nintendo fashion, emerges from deceptively simple mechanics. Specifically, coating an arena in paint of your own color enables you and your teammates to swim through it quickly and slows down and damages your opponents. The use of color allows the game to quickly communicate your individual status and the overall status of the match in a way that most shooters don't achieve nearly as successfully. A match of Splatoon, then, is composed of a lot of small strategic decisions, which is where a lot of the fun (and addiction) comes in! Splatoon 2 gives even more variety in weapon types and modes, compared to the original, which really enhance the strong core gameplay, i.e. give you more creative ways to respond to what's going on in the match.

Very Addicting game! Great online battle with cool weapons and gadgets.

This game really improved on itself like a sequel should. It has all the good of the old, but with newer content that's even better. The single player mode is actually long enough to be worthwhile and can give some neat stuff.

Splatoon 2 is so much fun for my 7 year old son. It is one player only but with excellent online cooperative and competitive play. Age appropriate introduction to shooter gaming.

Kids' version similar to most Multi player FPS shooters with cartoon twist. Less violent. Highly detail. Good Graphics. Solid frame rate. Online troublesome. Chat needs improvement and simplicity. Plays best or better with Pro controller.

It’s nice that Nintendo has created an entirely new ip here. It feels good. It is intuitive and the game play is excellent. Wish in tabletop mode you could just use the attached joycons for a two player mode.

This is a great game. Addictive really. You do have to have the nintendo connect however to play online. That and not having the DLC built in and still full price is a bit frustrating, but it ended up being worth it.

If you are a Splatoon fan, then you probably already have this game. For those on the fence, this game will be addicting. Just keep in mind that it requires online play so you will need a mobile hotspot if you take your switch on the go.

The game is really fun. The campaign is decent. It's got a good variety of levels with strong mechanics and great visuals and sound. The MP is pretty good in that it provides an alternative to the usual FFA style of competitive games. I think it now requires an online subscription to Nintendo's services, though, which cost $20 a year.

I never had the Nintendo Wii U and was looking forward to finally trying Splatoon 2 as I heard great things with Splatoon 1. I was very impressed as it has both a single campaign and a multiplayer campaign for days you just want to play against others. The color pallets are nice and the arena's are extremely fun. I am not a fan of having to be online to try out the arena nor it is 1 player on the switch . Otherwise it is alot of fun and contains lots of unlockable cosmetic / weapons to acquire. PROS: Fun, Colorful, Easy to learn controls/play Arena's are very fun and have strategies you can play Single Player Campaign is very fun and there is a team mode as well CONS: Must have Nintendo Account to play on internet Not all Arena's are unlocked at same time, its timer based throughout the day

We gave this to our grandson (12) for his birthday. He really enjoys this game. It’s fast moving and requires constant focus. He enjoys the team playing and the challenge, even though he’s very adept at video games and computers.

This is the second instalment of the series and it more of what made it great with additional improvements(additions). You have a Switch get this you will have tons of fun. Kid friendly adult friendly plenty to keep you busy for ages.
