This may be nostalgia speaking but I didn't remember much of this game. And after playing the first of the trilogy my hopes for this game being good were not up. After playing it though, it's a great experience. It's definitely designed for or at least feels like it's meant to be played with two players which is what I did. It has a very unique mechanic of bending that I haven't seen elsewhere. Comparing this to the first game is a sin.
