Not even worth the discounted price.
With gameplay almost worthy of a 1980's one on one fighting game, dialogue that gives new meaning to the words wooden and awkward, and a set of barely clad female NPCs that might just about muster one complete outfit between them this game ticks all the boxes for "bad sequel rushed to market" It's gone _none_ of the appeal of the original game, opting instead for a dark and meancing style that's so woefully overblown that it becomes laughable within 15 minutes. Short sequences of platform jumping require a battle with the frankly apalling camera and unpredictable control scheme, coupled with the occasional leap into the unknown and instant death and reload if the jump you're trying to make isn't executed from exactly the right spot. These are interspersed with overcomplex combats more suited to a hardcore beat-em-up than a platformer, a major feture of which is the ability to throw away your weapon by pressing the wrong combo button, or accidentally hurl yourself to your death by attacking an enemy who's too close to the edge. All overlaid with a cheesy "metal" soundtrack that could not be less suited to either the story or the setting. In short. Don't waste your money on this peice of garbage.
