My 9 yr old son loves it! He said you can level up and get better guns. The rainmaker is his favorite part.

Really fun game. Expands on the high points of the first game and adds some fun new maps weapons, and gear.

I missed out on the original Splatoon on the Wii U, so I was happy to hear it hadn't changed drastically with the next iteration. The game has an entertainingly distracting single player mode to help you learn the ropes, and jumping right into online matches is a breeze and very fun. I'm not big into voice chat, so that complications with that feature don't hamper the fun for me at all. It's super fun multiplayer action that kids and adults can enjoy.

I love the the game's colors and ability to customize your player with a whole range of headgear, tops and shoes. The graphics are slick and the soundtrack is fun. I really appreciate how the game developers continue to invest in this game by hosting Splatfests and introducing new weapons and stages. I got my siblings and friends hooked on Splatoon 2. Playing others can sometimes be frenetic, but that is what makes it fun!

As a person who played the first Splatoon on Wii U, Splatoon 2 is very similar to the first, but an improvement on its predecessor in every way. The matchmaking is the the only big, consisting problem with the game, with no way to swap out weapons or gear in a lobby, and the inability to back out of a game that has started. Despite this, the game is much too fun for me to give the game a lower score. 100% recommended for any Nintendo Switch owner.

A very fun game. Good gameplay. Colorful. Hours of fun!

Great game to play. Multiplayer is very addicting and easy to drop in, play a few matches and then leave.

Splatoon has three parts: a single-player campaign that feels very much like a Nintendo game, a coop mode (that requires multiple Switches and game cartridges to play) that's a huge party game-like blast, and third multiplayer competitive game in which you both try to paint more of the landscape than your opponent and knock your opponents out with your paint guns. It's a bizarre and very fun multiplayer mode, but for how well it's designed, it's not a top-tier competitive game. Still, if you're looking for something your kids can play for months at a time or a more casual shooter than Call of Duty, you'll have a hard time finding something better than Splatoon 2.

If you played Splatoon for the Wii U this one will feel pretty similar. That isn't a bad thing though. Nintendo has improved on the original and made this one a bit more polished all around. Really fun game with variety and creativity. One thing to note is the voice communication is still quite convoluted which is disappointing. Still, this game is one of those must haves for the Switch if you want that shooter experience on a Nintendo console.

I loved Splatoon on the WiiU. This one, though a sequel, hasn't changed much. There are a few game modes added (most notably Salmon Run), but the gameplay is essentially the same. This is one of the few Nintendo Switch games that are better online. I could play this online for hours and hours and not get bored. If you've never played a Splatoon game, you owe it to yourself to play this one. It's amazing.

I like this game since the original wii u splatoon days. In the new one you get new weapons and some new maps. These are easily something they could have added in the first game. Thus felt like if you already have the first one, this game should not be charged retail but it's first time on the switch I'll let that one pass. Other than that multiple player especially when playing as a team is very disappointing since you cannot group/team up together and sometimes depending on who joins, you can't even play together. They really need to step it up with the online play mode especially if they are planning to charge their customer for the online experience in 2018.

As expected this game delivers in quality masterfully. All Nintendo games are usually very well polished and a ton of fun to play. Splatoon 2 is pretty much what we had seen in Splatoon 1, which is excellent since that game was a great deal of fun. This is Nintendo's take on the 3rd person arena shooter style of gameplay, but it is also safe for kids to enjoy it as much as adults without being exposed to gory graphics or rater R material.

Feels much smoother than the first and introduces new weapons and load outs. A must own for the Switch

I generally don't care for shooters but the gameplay on this one is pretty awesome. Lots of fun weapons.

Fantastic shooter for all ages. Includes pvp and a hoard mode, but my favorite is the single player.

Okay, so let me just say my only complaint about this game is that there is not a couch co-op option where a group of friends can play on one console, one tv, in the same room. Yes, you can all own a Nintendo Switch separately and play together with the local option , but that is just not as fun as seems a bit much to expect all your friends to own a Switch. I am disappointed that there is not a true couch co-op option. Now, other than that, the game is great. Pretty much exactly like the first Splatoon but with some enhancements and is a bit more streamlined. I wish the matches were longer (or at the very least had different length options like most other fighting/shooter games). But the gameplay is fun and can give you hours of enjoyment as long as you have an internet connection because playing by yourself gets boring quickly. So to recap, do not buy this game unless you want to sit at home by yourself playing people online or all your friends own both a Nintendo Switch and the game. Personally, while the game is great I only have one friend that owns this game and I do not care for playing strangers online so it was kind of a bust. But it gets 3 stars because I knew it was an online only game and the game itself is fun, if irritating on how you can play other people.

Splatoon 2 bears many more features than the first game. This is a must-have game for any Switch owner.

Lots of fun running around splatting your friends. If you liked the first, this is better.

Splatoon is probably one of the only shooters to really innovate on the genre in a big way in a long time. The matches are quick, they're frantic, and great for short or long play-sessions. Lots of weapons, rotating maps, and different strategies help this game stay fresh for longer than other shooters imo. This game is fun playing online, and even more fun playing online with friends.

This was a Christmas present for our daughter. She loves it! This is a very fun game, easy to learn, and enjoy with the family! It a bit difficult at first while you rank up and get better equipment, but once get into it, it’s a hard game to put down. It would put it up there with my other two favorite Switch games: Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros!
