I like it so far. It feels like an extension of the first game… they quickly introduce a couple of new gameplay mechanics to make it feel new, and the world is already starting to feel bigger, but it has the same charm as the first game
I'm expecting more of the same thing with a bit of extra content.
Don't know yet, I haven't bought the game as I haven't finished the first one yet…plan on it as we have a longer Thanksgiving vacation this time around because of the Cali budget crisis.
It's hard to say it's better than the original because it's more of a "next episode" than a "next adventure." I like the new gameplay elements that were introduced and I like how you aren't crippled of all your abilities you earned from the first game; you have most of them (save for the cape) from the very beginning.
This episode is even more beautiful than the first one! The feeling of walking into Smith's house after being out in the freezing cold is convincingly warm and comfortable. That part is near the beginning, so it won't take you long to see what I mean. I only wish more disc-based Wii games were this beautiful!
My only gripe is I miss the little still illustrations that were at the end of the first episode, as those are absent from this one. Not a big deal, but just a nice way to tell the story.
I definitely enjoyed it, though! Totally awesome value at $10!
Glad to see this getting some mention on here, but waiting for a free download code? Come on! Just buy it already!
So far, so good. I enjoyed the first, however it was quite short. I am hoping that this one is double of triple that. Either way, a great buy for $10.
I would have bought it on tuesday as a gift from me to me since it was my birthday… but I won't update my Wii until the whole "erase Bios instead of backing it up and be screwed if your Wii looses power or your internet connection dies" has been sorted out.
I'm a bit more than half way through it and just like the first it fills me with a joy unknown in this cynical time. Really, it's everything that was great about the first… Plus. The music, art style, wii control utilization, all top notch like before. This world is bigger but the game overall isn't much longer. What makes this sequel worth owning however is the game and story. With the exception of your cape, you begin the game with all the powers you ended the previous game with, no Metroid style reset. You lose the cape when you fall out of a tree at the beginning, and that's okay because it would make some of the early gameplay too easy. You find a new one before too long though. There are plenty of new powers that help you solve new puzzles, the best being the power over the seasons. You begin the game in an eternal winter but then gain the power to switch between winter and summer, which makes for a wonderful puzzle solving dynamic (Zelda did it on the Gameboy, but I feel like this does it even more smoothly). The story is also deeper with lots of characters and cultures to meet, but past that you'll have to check it out yourself cause my comment is now longer than the original post… (c:
