This improves on the first in nearly every way. Mechanically, it's just so much more fun, across all 4 characters. Visually, it's one of the best modern uses of sprite art. The art style continues what the first started by going beyond the Sega Genesis sendup style but still maintaining what made that style so charming to begin with. Story isn't too much better than the first but overall it is more interesting and voice acting performances are better. I do think the story is a bit over-presented. It almost would be more suited with Mega Man X style blips. Still, it's charming and I'm glad it's there. I wasn't bored by it.

Can't wait for more people to play this when it comes to consoles.
