Despite making a great first impression I ended up finding myself merely whelmed by the end. It's certainly not a bad game but it feels lacking compared to the first. That's not to say it doesn't improve in some areas however. Graphics are a decently big step up from the origina which is a nice surprise considering their Wii roots. The job minigames are mostly pretty fun, though I definitely wouldn't say they are an adequate replacement for the original game's jobs. The general feel of combat is a lot better with a much better flow all around, multiple beam katanas to use, the ability to interweave beat attacks with katana swings and an actual reason to use wrestling moves now since they trigger the killing blow slot machine, though sadly this all comes at the cost of a much stricter darkstep. If you liked the first game it's certainly worth a playthrough but don't expect it to absolutely blow you away.
