Better than the original in some ways, worse in others. The ethereal, mysterious vibe of the first one is slightly watered down here with a more clear cut story and more characters, which is a bummer, but those characters are pretty rad. They play so differently yet all fit nicely into the same game. Enemy and boss variety is better, way less crow fighting. Evens out to another fantastic experience; its one of FromSoft's best series ever and the fact that it was so widely ignored is a huge bummer.
kinda mid compared to the first game, lacks a lot of the charm of the original and focuses too much on character swapping
I remember my dad owning this game, I was so intrigued by it. I remember it was fun.
I tried to play it on my modded 360 (game is not backwards compatible without modding) and sadly it ran like shit AND then straight up stopped working after a few stages, giving me an infinite loading screen. A HUGE shame, because what I did manage to play seemed like a huge improvement over the first game. I'm SOL unless this gets an HD version for modern systems or a competent Xbox emulator gets made, so I'll probably never get to play this properly...
