If you liked 1, there's a good chance you'll like this. A huge step-up from 1 in my opinion. 1 was too annoying at the end so I played this on Sweet, but I think Sweet may have been too easy! I like how streamlined everything is, which is apparently what people liked about 1 so much. But I could not stand the tedium.

The combat was great. I enjoyed the variety that some of the levels brought, and in this game it felt like Travis could actually get some real combos going. The bosses were super entertaining. The minigames themselves were fine; most of the jobs are fun. Story-wise, nothing crazy. The same kind of pointless, all over the place nonsense that 1 had. But I like that Travis seemed to grow up a little bit.
