The sequel went from the great 2D art of the SNES to ugly early 3D, losing a lot of the atmosphere of the first game and most of what made it memorable while still having some positive elements.
Good replay value, choice of playable characters that change events and character actions in the story, ability to save most characters leading to different endings. There is a lot more dialogue than the first game giving some more characterization, though it is mostly awkward conversations with often poor voice acting. Fairly slow working text box when exploring. There is now faster movement and response to commands than the first game which can remove some frustration but due to how the enemies work they just no longer seem threatening furthering taking away the horror and atmospheric elements of the previous title.
