Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is primarily a multiplayer game. It does however, have a single player mode that you can play if you're a completionist. The story mode in my opinion is a bit boring but it's neat that Nintendo once again threw in something to make this game not jsut be multiplayer. Though the majority of your time will be on multiplayer. The multiplayer is fun and there are a lot of customization options for you to choose from. You can either go for being stylish or for having the best abilities thatll suit your needs. Its a fun game that anyone of any age can pick up and play thanks to motion used for aiming (which can be turned off if you favor using the joysticks)

The original Splatoon on Wii U was a fine game, but was held back by a clunky gamepad. Splatoon 2 has so many control options it's now better than ever to get into this colorful and fun third person shooter. The main mode of Turf War has you focusing on getting as much ground covered with your ink instead of just shooting opposing players. This gives it a gentler feel than many modern shooters. I find this game to be very family friendly even if it consists of shooting almost non-stop. There's also loads to unlock, a single player mode, a four player co-op mode...there's so much to this game it will give you something to do for a long time. Highly recommended.

Splatoon 2 is an amazing game full of charm, humor, deep weapon customizations,and free DLC updates for a year. If you have played the original you'll be pleased to know that Turf Wars are back and are as fun as they have ever been. A new mode to this game is Salmon Run. Similar to Call of Duty Zombie mode, Salmon run puts you against various creatures as you and 3 others shoot to stay alive. This new mode is addicting and gives you exclusive gear and rewards. Overall Splatoon 2 is an amazing sequel that improves upon the original with the addition of Salmon Run, a new story mode, and new weapons and gear. This is an essential purchase for any Nintendo Switch owner.

I started out absolutely hating this game. The characters were run and I loved all the color in this game. It had a great concept with the ink and I really got behind the idea of this game. Then it came to playing it. The motion controls (which can be turned off) were very hard for me to understand when I first started. Yes, the motion controls can be turned off, but it still doesn't feel like other stick shooters. I tried for 2 hours to understand the motion controls and they just felt wonky. Everything I read online or watched on Youtube suggested motion controls were the best. I tried it for a few more hours and finally I'm starting to get the hang of it. It's a very fun game. I love the special abilities, shooting ink, and swimming around my enemies. All that said it was hard for me to get behind at the beginning. Now that I'm having an easier time with the controls it's becoming more fun by the minute. This is a great game, however if you aren't used to motion controls be prepared for an awkward learning phase.

I loved the first Splatoon and 2 is more of what I loved plus... more! Salmon Run is addictive and fantastic, the new weapons and maps are great and it's just fun to visit Inkopolis again and this world. Barring a few strange choices, this is a must-buy for anyone interested in something unique.

This game is so fun, it’s a little difficult to get used to the controls but I did fairly quickly and I can’t stop playing!!

Wonderful game. Multiplayer is a blast and the single player campaign is too. Salmon Run was a great addition to the series and as always this is a great kid friendly shooting game.

Although it has a great single player mode. I mostly played online and was surprised how fun the game is with its paint gun style concept and the graphics are very good!

I don’t like shooters I was a call off duty elite, forming and leading one of the most prolific cod clans BOND, thre original NYC clan, but I stopped with all the horrible next gen crap and gave my ps4to my wife and got a switch I miss playing every now and then, so I wanted a shooter, and Nintendo actually made an amazing game here. It’s as good as cod without crazy violence ...you have clans, perks, boosters, uav, secondaries, tactical Also, it’d very very active with multiplayer online and constantly updated with daily challenges and a lot of aDLC support No doubt, if you’re a FPS fan and have a switch, another must have

I, like most people never owned a Wii U. From what I have read this is not hugely different from that version, but as someone that is completely new to it, this game is thoroughly enjoyable. Note, you must enjoy multiplayer otherwise I am unsure how much this will work for you. It can be frustrating sometimes and it seems that some weapons are practically worthless. I like that the point of the matches between teams is more about filling up more of your 'space' with your ink color than the other team, other than simply trying to shoot the other players. That helps, but if that's all you concentrate on you won't help that much on your team. Great game!

I've only done some turf wars and barely explored the whole game but I am loving the gameplay, different abilities manifested in outfits, and different weapons. I love the paint roller.

Been playing since the original SNES. Great graphics, easy to pick up and play. For newbies, there is even assist mode to help from falling off the track. Go out and buy this game.

This a great option for an online multiplayer game. Especially if you are looking for something that doesn't have the violence or mature content of many of the other options out there.

A solid single player campaign, more multiplayer options, and some fantastic DLC. You need NSO online to get the most out of it, but it's completely worth it.

This is a great game. It has single player and "team" mode. I'm not going to say co-op because you cannot share the game. There is no split screen capabilities. In order to play with your friend, they will need a copy of splatoon 2 and a switch as well. They can only join you in league, regular, and salmon run. Salmon run is a new thing in Splatoon and it helps you get the gear you want quicker. You can either team up with friends or just do it with strangers. It's also considered a job so it is not available at all times. The game itself is a lot of fun and we (husband and wife) find ourselves putting a lot of hours into the game. Also... woomy!

They really thought this sequel out VERY well! If you loved the first release you will love this second. More games, better online play and more weapons and subs to choose from!

This game is one of the most innovative and interesting shooters you can play. I can't think of another game that is similar to this. The campaign is pretty fun to get the hang of the gameplay. Multiplayer is really fun although it is a little tough learning the game after it's been out for three years now. The one thing i like though is that it doesn't emphasize splatting the enemy team. Being able to focus on the objective makes the game way more engaging for me. Salmon run is also very fun and intense to get through.

This is easily compared to a "paintball game" but it's so much more! It's definitely a casual 3rd person shooter, with quick 3 minute games. This allows you to get into the action right away and start splatting if you only have a few minutes to dedicate to the game. Very small learning curve, tons of different weapons and specials. Splatfests are awesome! Periodically a Splatfest happens where you choose a side (for example, werewolves vs vampires) and you're competing against people of the other team. Different game modes and all the different gear you can get keeps this game "Fresh!" A must buy for Nintendo Switch owners.

Splatoon 2 is as good as the first one. great game play and improved controls with new maps and weapons. So happy Nintendo put this out with the first year of Switch releasing.

Game has been great so far. Really enjoyed the first one on Wii U and this one has been better. New weapons, maps and special moves. Online play has been really good as well
