This is a pretty good step up from the first game. It's not as heavy on the backtracking and starts to delve more into the mystery elements that the series would eventually have as the focus. Only real problem is some runs can have you doing very little when getting the items you need. That doesn't sound bad, until you realize that means a good amount of screens in the game are just barren and characters have nothing to say to you since they're not needed for the path you got.
It's still good, and I liked how they upped the replayability gimmick a few notches and made the game a bit more open, but I feel HE really dropped the ball on the map design. While the original game had lots of intersections and packed screens, this one has lots of empty corridors. I joke that they went the AAA route of increasing scale and not substance.
