A great sequel to a great game.
Gameplay: This game is a slight improvement over the first in this. It added new beam katanas, more costumes, and better job missions then the first. The battle system is pretty much the same as the first with some minor changes. Changes like, added a few new moves, and the ability to actually put a few combos together. Also there are two new playable characters, even though you only play with them once or twice, there still fun additions. 9/10
Story: Now this is were the game falls short in comparison to the first. The first game had a very interesting and exciting story, but the second isnt all the great. Its a classic old "revenge" story. friend gets killed, friend of friend gets mad and swares revenge, gets revenge and end. Except the ending cutscene and some other cutscenes throughout the game were very interesting, yet confusing?
7/10
Graphics: The graphics are very much improved in this sequel then over the first. There were a bit more physics in this game in the form of more breakable objects. Even as cool as breakable objects are(sarcasm) they can often get in the way alot of the time which gets VERY annoying. 9/10
Bosses: There are 15 bosses in this game, which is five more then the first. But in the first one, each boss had there own personality and were really cool characters that will never be forgotten (atleast to me anyway) they felt real. Yet in the second game, it started out good with the first two bosses, but almost every other boss after them except one or two of them, i didn't really care about and weren't really cool in a way like the first. they seemed to be just for show, and werent really part of the story.
8/10
