Same excellent gameplay, even better presentation, a droll (but superfluous) story mode, but sadly (and crucially) the individual levels are nowhere near as good as the ones in the first game. Much of the challenge here is focused on timing your movement around big gimmick setpieces, which means a lot of start/stop gameplay that I feel like kind of betrays what made the first one so great. It's actually a lot easier overall (which is nice on the one hand, because the first one gets brutal, fast) but paradoxically the levels often seem more frustrating to navigate. This one gets tiresome to me in a way that the first one didn't.
