Much more ambitious and interesting story, and the movement is a lot more refined. Personally I think the movement is maybe a tad too polished for my liking, to a point where it feels hard to do a whole lot that is really interesting. The level's visited all are very charming but in terms of the gameplay feel a bit more washed than the predecessor, with at least one of the level's being a complete wash after the first playthrough.

The writing is still very solid luckily, and while it never quite reaches the peak of it's predecessor it's a very worthy successor. Well worth your time, whether you've played the original or not. (Though you really should go n play the original first! C'mon it's been seventeen years!)
