soaked in 2000s edge as opposed to foggy swamps and nazi-clad halls, rayne's second outing features an actual moveset (thank fucking god) vastly superior power progression, and way, way, WAY better level design altogether - opting for linear stages with light platforming rather than aimless mazes through samey corridors

it's definitely not the most refined action game by any means, but if you've got a soft spot for the era of crazy towns, hot topics, and coal chambers, then you're doing yourself a disservice by not giving this a shot
