    a very solid game for kids to play on the switch and watch them have a blast like I did back in the old days.

    This game is amazing! My kids love to play this game even when we are not at home. The game does require internet access to play with people online though. But other wise this game is great for the kids.

    This is quite a fun game that receives frequent updates to keep the game fresh. It may take some getting used to when you first start playing but if you stick with it it will be a load of fun!

    If you dislike the monotonous goal of netting the most kills and would rather enjoy a fresh spin on the shooter genre, check out Splatoon 2. It's pretty much a complete clone (with some improvements) of the original Splatoon. Also looks phantasmagorical on my new 55" Samsung KU6290 4K UHD HDR Ultra TV... (Disclaimer: I've never owned better than 720p, so I'm just experiencing 1080p for the very first time. Now you're probably thinking: 'This has just discredited the opinion of this guy in my book and therefore his review is useless. Who in their right mind is only just now getting to 1080p in 2017?! GET BACK UNDER YOUR ROCK!' That's fine. I have my TV now. I'm happy to be back under my rock. Carry on.)

    My 9 year old son absolutely loves Splatoon 2. If he was allowed, he would stay on this game for hours and days at a time.

    Like many people, I never purchased a Wii U and thus never played the first Splatoon. I do however remember when it came out and also thinking that it was a kiddie game. While this is not a typical shooter with blood and violence, it's not necessarily a kid game. While kids could enjoy this game, it is obviously played by a lot of adults. The multiplayer can be challenging, the main game mode (Turf War), is not all about getting Kills (Splats). The main objective is to coat as much of the floor with your color of paint. This is good because even if you aren't very good at getting kills (Splats), you can still contribute greatly to your team, This game is a great addition to my Switch Collection.

    If you played the original, you know what to expect. From what I played so far, feels like the same game. But it has a fresh new story and lots of new levels. Worth playing for any switch owner

    While a little child like and simple in nature, this game brings some true fun and excitement to the Switch when playing multiplayer. If you are competitive gamer this is a great Switch game for you.

    Fast paced multiplayer shooter gameplay on a console with a great aiming solution using the motion controls with the joy cons. No other shooter on console will feel right without this control scheme.

    Good game but deceiving

    I bought this because I was under the impression that Splatoon 2 had couch co-op and wanted a game that I could play with my son. Checked the back of the game and it says local co-op on it (yes it does say `players: 1`) but still confusing when it says local co-op on it and the internet had also led me to believe it was couch co-op. Was very disappointed when I got home and couldn't figure out how to let him play with me. Looked it up and found that it was indeed local co-op but local meant everyone who has a switch and the game can play together in the same room. To me that sounds more like a lan party (obviously wirelessly but the concept is the same) not a local co-op. The game is fun to play but got it mainly because I thought we could play together. I like splatoon, don't love it, but like it. I love Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Pikmin, and way more Nintendo ips but splatoon 2 is not up there on my list. If I wanted to play a shooter I'd rather play Destiny, but this is better for kids. If this had true couch co-op this game would be amazing. As it doesn't it's just so so.

    Bought this game about a month ago and still find myself playing it for long periods of time without being bored. Truly, a fun multiplayer experience that you can only experience on the switch.

    Splatoon 2 is absolutely amazing! You move around a screen and splat paint on to opponents and race around a big area covering it with paint. It is a simple game and loads of fun. Like paint ball.

    This game is addicting to play. Im a joy con in each hand player and I think it's the most fun to play with motion controls and a joycon in each hand. Such a great experience and I love this game.

    Fun online multiplayer game

    A great game for those looking to take advantage of the Nintendo Switch's online functions. Compete in 8-player 4v4 Turf Wars, 4-player co-op in the form of Salmon Run (an addictive yet challenging boss rush) and share your thoughts with the Miiverse-like post feature. Tablet mode recommended for drawing. Splatoon 2 also includes a single player campaign. It was, initially, a factor in my purchase, seeing as I am not the biggest fan of online multiplayer. I wanted a single player experience to fall back on between other game modes. I can't speak for those that owned the first game in the series, but if you own a Nintendo Switch and love competitive multiplayer, this one's a solid choice.

    I never played Splatoon, but heard it was fantastic. Because of that, I picked up Splatoon 2 for the Switch and have really enjoyed its campaign. It's a clever and unique shooter that I love jumping into. A star detracted for the game's pathetic voice chat implementation (you have to use a smartphone app).

    At first I was a little nervous about this title, didn't know if I would enjoy it but it looked fun. Since then I can't put it down, reminds me a little of a plat former mixed with shooter elements.
