It is a stunning sequel to the original game. It has unique combat,an advanced stroyline and a vaster weapon selection.
The game is a mix reflexes and timing. Although the combat could be carried out without doing so, it is much more effective to use the environment and time combos against your enemies. Reflexes becom an essential play when being chased by the guardian of the timeline, a supposedly unstoppable beast called 'the Dahakah', as you need to jump and run along the environment to get to a safe place where it cannot reach you. If you are to slow you be caught and slaughtered.
Overall it is a unique game anda massive improvement form the original including a more advanced storyline, including the ability to transform to the sand wraith. This game is a game worth playing.
