«©NCSX» Based on the "Arrivederci Space Cruiser Yamato: Soldiers Of Love" movie (circa August 1978), the storyline in the second PS2 Yamato game hews closely to the original work. The year is 2201 and Earth is rebuilding after the costly war with the Gamilons. Utilizing the technology given to them by Iskander, the Earth Defense Force has set up new protective measures to counter any future threats. In addition to fortifying the planet, Earth's expeditionary forces have explored and colonized the outer planets in the solar system. The ultimate prize of the technological revolution is a new battleship called the Andromeda. With a new vanguard ship, the Yamato is to be decommissioned and turned into a museum. Amidst all the fanfare, a comet is detected at the edge of the solar system and a garbled message is intercepted by Kodai. Reporting the anomalies to the EDF, Kodai and Sanada are brushed away but the two are determined to head off any potential threat before it's too late. The original bridge crew of the Yamato are called together and all decide to launch the Yamato into service once again...with or without the blessing of the EDF. As the Yamato closes in on the moon, the Cosmo Tigers zoom into view and join the Yamato in its exploratory mission. After a few skirmishes and a visit to Telezart for information, the Yamato eventually battles a powerful new enemy led by Emperor Zordar to decide the future of the Earth. Played in strategic missions and peppered with a large amount of interactive scenarios, the second PS2 Yamato game also features 3-D run 'n gun action where players take control of various Yamato crew members and shoot at foes using a cosmo gun. Rush through corridors by twiddling the left Dual Shock thumbstick and aim by hitting the L1 trigger. Once locked, tapping the R1 trigger sends out a blast. The first production of Space Battleship Yamato 2 includes:
- BGM collection music CD
