I'm a huge fan of platformers since my early childhood and Super Mario Bros. 3. However, I feel that what comes to looks, the most beautiful platformers are original Spyros from Insomniac. I just loved the vibrant color schemes and remarkable vivid worlds inside the games. The lush grasslands, sparkling diamonds, sensuous moonlit nights and rich details.

I haven't actively played in years and I can only imagine where the possibilities and creativity have advanced since the fifth gen.

What platformers have impressed you the most with their aesthetics?

What makes KH2 significantly easier than the first one? I've heard many saying that. I played the first one couple years back. I thought it was a very beautiful game and I just loved the whole concept of being able to wonder around Disneyverse. However, just after some hours of playing, I found myself in a situation in the game where I was simply not able to pass the pack of Heartless creatures. After getting off the Destiny Islands, the game turned into repetitive hitting of x-button, because the Heartless thingies just EFFING KEPT POPPING UP EVERY HALF SECOND. I felt incredibly agitated and bored. Finally I got cornered inside the game and died every single time I tried to get pass the hurdle of Heartless'. After surviving my aneyrism I deciced never to touch the game again. I felt so incredibly let down, because I couldn't advance and had only gone but few hours into the game.

So, is the sequel also just numbing x-hit-fest or do I actually get to play like 10 minutes without getting interrupted by a pack of villians that just won't die?
