If you like the first one then you're gonna love this one. Just pure arcade racing fun. With a new story, new locations, new tracks, a mixture of new and old cars and new mechanics. It's definitely a step up from the first one. Visuals and gameplay wise, it's about the same. Maybe slightly improved. Not that the first looked or played bad anyway. Trophy list is simple and fun. Most trophies will come naturally. Some you might have to grind a little bit for. But it really shouldn't take too long. Unleashed and Unleashed 2 have definitely been two of the best arcade racers released over the last several years. Really worth checking out.
