The combat is as good as ever - there's over a dozen weapons in here, and they all feel distinct and unique. Enemy and level design is top notch - they didn't skip out on the visual spectacle here either.
But it's just slightly better and slightly worse that it's predecessor in certain ways. There's a little something missing in Bayo 2 - you can feel it in the cutscenes that are basically just comic animatics used to save money. There was a focus on making the really good things really good - but other things may have taken a hit in the process.
It's still an amazing game - it's so close to living up to the first one. I think it'll just keep living in it's shadow.
At least until Bayo 3 comes out, and I hope my extreme hype for it is worth it.
That should say something about Bayo 3, actually. Bayo 2 was a huge commercial failure, but they get to make a sequel, because the fans love this game, and they love the series, because it's still all THAT good.
