A lot of people know the first one feels perfect in every way. This is the second one and it's amazing as long as you're looking at it from a game play perspective. Not to say the story isn't good. It's just lacking. I love the callbacks to the first one time to time, but along the lines of the story it just feels less grand. Less like an adventure with a story and more like a go get the stuff and kill things type of game. I personally love it this way as a stand alone title. Maybe not calling it 2, but something with a :EXTRA TITLE type thing. Like "Shadow Warrior:This girl got darkness inside her!" Shadow Warrior 2 could have focused on someone Wang knew from the old days who wants to ruin the world further and tries breaking open a portal to some candy land looking place. I think a second game should be about furthering the world. This one feels like exploring the same thing.
Some say the two don't usually mix. Most people prefere they dont. This game brings both and does it well.
