Honestly I was pretty let down by this game. The first is one of my favorites of all time, and this one just didn't live up.
The combat is fun, but it got old after a while.
My main issues are with the story. The plot here is pretty solid, but the characters are the issue. They just aren't well developed; the first game did a great job of developing it's characters, which is what made that story work. The success of this game's story relies on your attachment to the characters, but I feel like they fail miserably. Rindo is very under-developed and uninteresting, while Fret and Nagi are just jock and otaku stereotypes. The only characters I liked were the returning ones, but that was only because the first game succeeded in developing it's characters.
Other than that, while this game has a great artstyle, I wish a little extra work was done to the graphics. The character models are kind of low-res.
On a more positive note, the soundtrack is great, just like the first game. This time around the OST has a heavier and more imrpovised style, which I think is interesting.
