Well, it seems the Penny-Arcade guys (who sang the praises of the first game) aren't too fond of the new one. I played the first one and loved it but from what I've seen of the sequal, they tried too hard to make it popular and ruined it in the process.

Yeah, they kind of screwed some stuff up in this game.

This is what happens when a person lets one success consume them. They can still save the Prince though. This sequel can be just written off as a dream or a Prince from another dimension in the third installment.

Im still getting it for Christmas...I mean sure the reviews havent been quite as good as those for the first, but they've still been good...well into the 8.0's.

It's still a really good game, sure. Just with a lot of questionable directions taken. The dark theme is really, really over done, and the prince swearing is just laughable. The emphasis on combat is also kind of weird, I mean the first game was great because of the platforming/puzzle solving, not the combat. And while the combat is considerably better this time around, I'd still rather be doing more platforming.

Plus they took out bloom lighting, bah.
