Game Review - originally written by Spinner 8
Wagyan Land 2 plays pretty much identically to the first Wagyan Land. You’re a cute green lizard dinosaur thing, and you walk to the right and shoot various syllables out of your mouth, which don’t actually hurt enemies. They just remain frozen for a certain period of time, depending on how powered-up your attack is. Once you get four power-ups you become invincible, and you can finally kill the damned things. Which doesn’t happen often.
So, how can you defeat the bosses with a crappy syllable that can’t hurt anybody? Why you play minigames with them, of course! The whole game’s pretty frustrating, with the whole “one-hit-and-you-start-the-entire-level-over” thing that’s so popular in the world of videogaming. Honestly, it’s fun and all, but I don’t understand why the game needed to have two sequels.
(editor's note: more than that, hell, nowadays Wagyan Land had a Japanese Encore trademark rated for it, ala Katamari, Klonoa, Mr. Driller and Mojipittan before those materialized, but has yet to materialize, alongside Splatterhouse and Genpei Touma Den which also have yet to appear)
