In some ways, this game is a step up in terms of content, better graphics, and more styles and moves to play around with. However, in others, the story, while good, isn't as good as the first game's story, the game compression for the audio is REALLY audibly noticeable, and while this doesn't have anything to do with the game, but as of me finishing this game with the 1.0 Translation from TeamK4L, the game's got A LOT of things that need to be either polished up translation-wise or actually finished cause a lot of the game is broken. I had to switch between the Japanese and English versions here just to unlock certain styles without the game crashing. Either wait til they fix this game with a patch or just be like me and put up with the broken bits.
