Also made me cry. Everything about the first game, but better.

The controls and abilities are all more streamlined, allowing the player to pick up the pace of both exploration and combat even more.

The art team really outdid themselves on this because wow, what a beautiful game to experience. The FX and backgrounds are especially beautiful. I love the way that the game has you backtrack when you get new abilities. Classic formula, but the pace of this game makes it fun to go back through old areas to find new paths and items.

I can't recommend this game and its predecessor enough.
