Toree 2 is more of the same of what you get with Toree 3D, but with some more added bells and whistles to it that slightly adds more flavor than it's predecessor. It pretty much adds a little extra to everything, with different level locations, interesting gimmicks, and a cool hat or two.
Mechanically, Toree 3D and 2 are not that different, you still get the same kind of platforming, semi creepy vibes, and overall polygon charm. The neat thing is that Toree 2 decides to be rather modest with it's changes; slightly improving various worlds and their gimmicks while also introducing the player enough to keep everything fair play. I will say that Toree 2's camera probably suffered the most between the transition as there is a lot of focus on faster 3D movement, and the camera for it simply can't keep up. Thankfully all the gimmicks introduced in Toree 2 provide a proper challenge that the original didn't have, adding in speed rings, bouncing chairs, and breakable platforms.
It's really hard to say get Toree 2 over Toree 3D or even that it can be played separately. Not because you can't, but rather due to the games being both fairly short, affordable, and so in-tune with it's spirit. IN a lot of ways Toree 2 can feel more like an expansion rather than a direct sequel, but make no mistakes that production values have risen. I think the only real fault of the game is it is just more of the same, but that's kinda why I love both games so much. While you do get a bunch of cool features in 2, both just give you a vibe that you'd want in a platformer. Sometimes more of the same is all you really need a game to be, and Toree 2 knows that.
