I had a lot of fun with this one, but I felt it could have been trimmed down.

The game starts out really strong with amazing presentation and fun new mechanics with the vacuum cleaner, but quickly the gameplay became stale. From the time you begin collecting elevator buttons to about the 11 floor the game just falls into a mundane routine of clearing each floor to get to the next one. The challenges are creative, but I just did not find them all that satisfying to complete.

On the later floors the game begins to ramp up the challenge and was the part that I enjoyed the most. If they cut out some of the middle floors this might have made for a more compact experience.

Boss battles are all fun, and only a few suffered from some awkward controls and mechanics that needed a little polishing to work with the physics. The final boss especially has some great payoff.

I should note that I was not able to try to co-op which would no doubt make this a more enjoyable experience.

It's not a short and sweet adventure like the first game, but there is still a lot to be enjoyed with this one.
