It's a good game, but suffers from a lot of repetition, the character expressions look really weird, the main character doesn't speak (I understand why they do it, but still...), they do character assassination upon 3 characters from the first game, and they ruin the game with a cliffhanger ending that leads into the series' worst game.

I think this game does do some things right... its plot twists are pretty good and the puzzle rooms are definitely better.

Anyways, I think it spits on what 999 was. 999 was amazing besides some nitpicking on contradictory stuff.
