Game play is pretty good, some new changes. The new stamina element took some time to adjust to, but ultimately I ended up liking it as something new that didn't change the central game play too much. The change to you bought food/gifts/upgrades was ok. but not well explained how exactly you got each of the four types of currency. But, I was rarely out of one I needed, so it didn't really affect me that much. The main issue I had was how bad the writing had gotten. The original was sophmoric, but it was intelligent about it. It knowingly was ridiculous and the characters winked knowingly at it. HuniePop 2 was mostly just bad sophmoric, with little of the charm that made the original fun. Kyu and Jessie were not nearly as likable (actually hated the new Jessie, she had a different voice actor that just didn't match.) Brook and Ashley were painful to sit through their scenes. More so than even Sarah who was meant to be annoying. The only characters I really like were Candace, Lillian and Nora.
