THE GOOD:The characters are interesting, The track is awesome, and the gameplay, while seemingly unchanged, still seems new and different.
THE BAD:
No Gas-O! The tracks aren't really as memorable as they were in the first game, nad of course, there's that Pander character...
SUMMARY:
I played the first game on a dare, and managed to get a used copy for five bucks. Needless to say, after playing it, I was more than willing to schill out 40 bucks for the sequel. This game improves on everything the first game had to offer, but manages to lag a bit on the music..It's not as good as it was in the first. (They're good songs, but are more catchy in an annoying way, not in a memorable one.) But still, it's better than the first. (The character designs seem much better.)
And this just may be a stupid gripe of mine, but why can't the hidden characters have their own moves, and not rehash another characters?...
