However...as you can see, didn't quite like Crystal Story 2 as much as I did the original. I just feel like not much change was implemented and from what I remember it seems things got worse. The story this time is nothing to really write home about and fits in a typical pattern. Environmental graphics did get slightly better in Crystal Story 2 but other graphics took a hit. Mainly character graphics in fight scenes. They seem blurry and just badly rendered. Cutscene graphics are still amazing and well done. I also liked the gauge on the left side showing attack order, that was a nice change.

But other than that didn't find anything spectacular. Characters only have one weapon and armor slot even though their are gauntlets, plate armor, rings and necklaces which should be all able to be equipped. The skill upgrade trees are too linear this time around even if you get to unlock three different skill sets. In general, Crystal Story 2 seems like a bland lazy sequel to me which is incredibly unfortunate.
