Disregarding the fact that this sequel dropped it's city sim mechanic from the first game, it is a visually stunning platformer with great enemy and level variety. Although, I do find that the boss design varies in quality. Some are a fun challenge with good patterns that rely on the games mechanics, some are piss-easy, and some have incoherent patterns that I did not feel were fair to fight. Unfortunately I also find the soundtrack to be repetitive and boring. It's unfortunate because Yuzo Koshiro composed the music again coming back from the first game and I don't find it to be nearly as good.
