Ducktales 2 does very little to change up the formula from the original Ducktales game, but that isn't really a bad thing considering just how great the original was. Despite my memory of playing Ducktales was this game, I always associated it with the original and not the sequel because heck, I didn't know the sequel even existed, and I feel that is the overall experience for this game. Not really that this game isn't as remember-able, but that it just blends together with the original. While I know and understand that moving boxes with your cane is a new feature for this game, I just can't help, but think, some how, that it was actually in the original. That's the problem with making a sequel that doesn't do enough to differ itself, and while I understand the overall graphics were better, nearly everything else falls into this pile of from the first game, and while I don't think that's saying this game is bad, it's just an extension of what the first game was over it's own. Ducktales 2 doesn't exactly have very memorable bosses or music either, so to say that this remains in my brain fog is just the hard truth.
Everything I have said or will say about Ducktales would be true for the sequel. It's very basic mega man-esque platforming that has the charm of the old Ducktales TV show. There are plenty of treasures to go out and look for. But when it comes to picking it out of a line of games, sadly this game just gets lost in the crowd
