Personal review

A so-so beat-'em-up that uses updated versions of three characters from the first game. The monster fights are broken up by some tedious side-scrolling areas. The boss fights tend to be cheap, but they can all be beat fairly easy by the old strategy of "knockdown with a jump attack, smack them a lot while they're down, repeat". There's some great monster design in this game and a couple of neat attacks, but it gets old pretty fast.
