Excellent platformer for the NES! It's not really very different from the first one, but having a new set of levels makes it fun to play. The gameplay doesn't change radically, however, this game introduces some new ideas like new uses for the cane, which make interacting with some elements of the environment more entertaining. I really like how exploring is still the focal point of the adventure, and this is made more entertaining as there are more secrets in the levels, such as more treasures or upgrades for the cane. The first DuckTales was not a difficult game, but still losing all lives could cause a sudden Game Over, DuckTales 2 instead is much more accessible in its difficulty, making you can spend the money you earn in the levels in a store where you can buy items that recover vitality, lives or even continues.

I felt that this time the scenery and music were not as memorable as in the first installment, but it is compensated by a better level design in general. Perhaps my only complaint is that the game is too short. It's too short, and as soon as you think about it the game will be over suddenly, just like this review.
