As a RCR sequel, the game is pretty solid. New characters with returning classics, new areas with updated graphics and the ability to go back and see the old High School... As a game on its own its less stellar, but overall pretty good. Minor grinding for levels and cash, but the minimap system is quite poor, some quests are vague and one in particular is (as the game players go) notoriously difficult and recently updated (milk). Character playability is a strong curve, with some being easy to get into, and others having a highly difficult moveset / playstyle. Combo that with some needing to be found/ unlocked can make a completionist scared straight of finishing all the characters in the game. Its on sale now and was totally worth the $5 I paid, but at 'regular price' I would have likely regretted the purchase. Get it while its $5 and you will probably be more than happy with it.
