Laughed more, cringed less than original. Therefore, better time was had.
Podría decir tantas cosas buenas de la personalidad de la protagonista, como cambia y aprende en cada uno de los finales... Historia más larga e incluso el agregado de escenas más "cinemáticas", en serio, este juego trata increíble los temas tan personales sobre enfermedades y distintos transtornos. Me encantaría ponerle una nota más alta pero es molesto pasar tantas horas de juego cuando el 60% de los chistes son Misandría porque por qué no :(
Both games are really fun, but this one felt more like a complete story. The endings are less of a sketch gone wrong and more of a story playing outself out (and then going wrong).
Very good characters, voiceacting and dumb humour, this game's dumb dialogue will be in my head rent free for a while.
You could play this + its prequel in about 6-8 hours I think, easily doable in a day and definitely worth the time.

I actually preferred the first Class of '09 to Re-Up unfortunately. The characterization of the first game seems flanderized in the sequel in a way that makes it more difficult to appreciate. Nicole was a very flawed protagonist in the original game but I still rooted for her throughout. The absurdity of the sequel and her terrible actions in it felt ramped up in an unnatural way and just didn't feel as entertaining to me as a result.
This was my school but replace the somewhat expensive American pharmaceutical drugs with weed, cheep cocaine and hoax weed.(which was basically black tea leaves dipped in bleach among other chemicals for a few days and then left to dry out in the sun)
Toxic n funy af
A bit better than the original class of 09 but overall is just good
funniest game to ever exist
Somehow even more unhinged than the first game, while also containing some of the most real content I have ever laid my eyes upon. Incredible experience.
Its a good sequel I like how the situations Nicole gets herself in are even more crazy than last game somehow it certainly goes beyond just regular highschool drama
Oops all bummer
The sheer size of the cliff face that the quality dropped off of is crazy to me. Absurdity so forced it's rarely funny anymore.
It was okay. Didn't realize I was supposed to play the other one first but whatever.
IT'S THE SAME THING AGAIN. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT
Não ironicamente, acredito que é preciso alguma criatividade para escrever desta forma.
i fucking love lesbians ari my beloved
I think everything is better, what I liked the most was having Emile being important because she was my favourite. I think the only complaint is that the jokes are so much worse and low hanging at times when the first game perfected it.
This game got me through a tough time in my life... by making me worse!!!
To sum up my feelings about the game: "I love fake people, I love games, I love drama, music means nothing to me. I'm not a chill guy and if you fuck with my friends I will help you do it. I would betray any of my loved ones at any time and I would not hesitate to hit them with a car."
The only OELVN that I will look the other way with when it claims to "not be like other visual novels". Genuinely wish it wasn't advertised like that though LMAO

God Re-Up has funny moments, from freebasing crack to leaking nudes to joint suicide as you play as a complete sociopath, the game exactly captures early 2000s humor, huge props to the voice acting its truly the crown jewel of the game,
Nicole and Jecka are one of my favorite characters of all time

A step up from the first game and didn't rely on the same 3 jokes for comedy. Best way to describe this game is that it's like South Park but with catty teenage girls and they live in the DMV Area instead.
Writing is surprisingly well done. Enjoyed
basically just extra content for class of 09, it's about the same with everything but I do appreciate the added queer representation even if it goes horribly for everyone involved
It’s pretty cool, it’s really lacking in terms of content although.
Remember kids, satire is based in reality.
Essentially, this is just more Class of '09, and I'm definitely not complaining. With the ending count sliced in half, each of the 7 routes have a lot more content in them, so while the game initially seems shorter, I actually spent more time with The Re-Up than the original. It's got tighter writing, less repetitive jokes, improved characterisation and a variety of societal topics to comment on.
The first game, while covering a variety of issues, dedicated multiple endings to the same general topic. The Re-Up's routes, however, are all distinct, and the game covers topics that the original didn't. We've got abusive and/or toxic relationships, selling crack, and the like. I feel like the shock value was boosted too. I genuinely had a pit in my stomach witnessing some of the endings.
I didn't talk about the protagonist, Nicole in my Class of '09 review, so I'll do so here. Nicole is fantastic. A heartless, apathetic narcissist who is endlessly entertaining to watch. As a product of a traumatic childhood, we can understand that she's a pretty horrible person, but it's also hard to completely blame her for being like this. She wasn't born this way, nobody is. It's her environment, the constant moving and being unable to make meaningful friendships, her abusive mother, etc. There is just barely enough here to know that even someone like Nicole can improve. Will it happen? I'm not sure. But I think its possible.
Of course, Class of '09: The Re-Up, like the original, is a black comedy first and foremost, and it somehow manages to retain the momentum and joke quality that the first game had, perhaps even better. But even when everything is put through the apathetic, comedic lens of Nicole, the reality of its events still shine through as a reminder that everything displayed is stuff that happens in real life. We can simply play the game and laugh at the silliness of it all, but we can also see the reflection of our world inside it. While I, naturally, find the game funny, it also invokes a strange feeling every time I remember this is stuff real people experience. Shit, even I've witnessed similar things, albeit not nearly as exaggerated. I'm sure some of you have too, so I think treating these games SOLELY as "haha offensive game funny" is just a tad disingenuous.
Also, without spoiling what happens, the ending cutscene was very confusing. There is discussion about it online, so I'll definitely be going through all that but its giving me heavy ARG vibes, so I don't know what's up with that. I'm down for another one of these games if that is what's being hinted at, though perhaps with a switch-up to the formula to avoid getting stale. Regardless, I'm already very into this so I'm interested in whatever SBN3 cooks up next. And if this is it for Class of '09? I'm more than happy.
Class of '09: The Re-Up is a worthy follow-up. It improves on pretty much everything that the first game built up. If you didn't "get" the original, you won't like this one either, though if the first game spoke to you, you gotta check this one out.

I wish these games had a larger online presence. I can barely find videos and whatnot about them, so writing these reviews is almost all I can do which is lowkey a bit frustrating.

The more extensive routes and the expanded focus on the cast of characters is nice and it feels much smoother to playthrough aswell, tho I found it to be a bit lacking in the joke department compared to the first.
I really didn't like this one after like an hour or two of also playing with friends. While the original one was crass in a few ways it still managed to build up to jokes and do something really funny while this one has had an eyebrow-raising assault of crude sex jokes... that kept getting repeated over and over to the point of being uncomfortable. Sure, the original had a few of these, and those fell flat to us, but I thought it was about trying new things and making new jokes yet I seriously can't remember ANYTHING from our routes with this so far while I could remember many of the events in the original. It's seriously just "sex funny haha expletive" on loop. Which feels weirder and uncomfortable given the high school setting. Not like it makes it better for the original but, y'know, it was actually funny.
For my money? Don't bother.
