This game improves on the setting and possibilities of the last game, but not in being more iconic. The Story is that daphne has been kidnapped again, by a villain that can travel through time, and Dirk has to use a talking time machine to travel though time to save her, the story does sound a bit wacky, but they don't establish that these things can't happen, and this style can support it, so it's not a problem, and the situation leads to an enjoyable and well-made scenario too. The Voice acting is as good as the last and feels slightly better since there is more of it. The Graphics are the same as last time but feel better due to the variety of places to explore and the many things that happen in them. The Gameplay again has you pick the right buttons to press at the right time or you fail, but this time, a guess since that's a lot of stuff on screen, they have a yellow flash warning you where to go this time, also they added a system where if you see a yellow item that stands out (except for the butterfly since it's the same color as the fire that covers it when it's flashing) you to press the button that points to the direction that it is in, and you have to get them all or you have to do the game over again, this adds challenge to the game, just remember to read any instructions you can find in the arcade machine, also the places you come across are creative and a marvel to explore in an arcade game keeping up the high quality. The Music is around the same quality as the last game, just not as classic, but that's fine, it still pulls you into the Dragon's Lair world more. Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp shows how you don't need to be more classic than the first game to get the same rating, giving room for creative ideas everywhere.
