More Gameplay, Less Atmosphere, Same Zen
I played a lot of the first game, and that expertise carried me through the first act or two of this game no problem. Then I hit a wall. These levels are very big, and very intricate. A lot of angles to watch, men to keep track of, furniture to get stuck on. It's a nightmare, at first. But I kept at it, and I then I reached the thing that made the first game such a blast to play: that pure focus. This isn't a game about having it your way, about feeling powerful and in control. You need to be on point and aware of everything. You need to let go of all the distractions around you. It's seriously like meditating, throwing your squishy bloodsack of a body at these hordes over and over again, figuring out how to beat each level. Finishing a level is orgasmic. I spent 30 minutes on one level, at least 50 seperate attempts at each section, and I felt like a god when I won. If you liked Super Meat Boy, you will like this game. The only thing that lacks is the plot, which does not hold up without the first game. So much of it is predicated on the effects of or setup for the original game's story. The plot is almost entirely forgettable, except for the scenarios it sets up. The levels themselves are all pretty good, though very difficult compared to the first game. One notable thing is the increased use of windows, which mean that you have to consider the enemies line of sight a lot more than in the first game. If you enjoyed running like a madman through the level, you must be a bit more patient in this game. At least, the first time you play it. Once you get to experiment with the radical differences each masks gives you, and learn the layout a bit, you can start to play around. Try melee only runs of gun heavy levels. All in all, it's not the bottled lightning of the first game, that cannot ever be recreated. But this is the best possible game we could have expected, and it's definitely worth the money. Especially if Dennaton get that Level Editor working.
