Man, MP:2 is better than the first.

at the begining, you loose some items but not the charge beam, morph ball,and varia suit.

the start of the game is not a prologe, and it starts immediatly.

the first enemies you fight are not as easy as you would expect.

Other enemies, like the Ing, in MP:2E are really tough. the first boss killed me once. they take like five missiles to take down. and the Dark Space Pirates take about 12.

They increased the difficulty a lot. I actually like how they did that.

The multiplayer was more than a diversion. it was better than most Multi's, and the morph ball is fun to roll away in.

Anyways, MP:2 is worth a buy, if you dont already have it. now if you excuse me, i am going to play it while wearing my promotional t-shirt that i got for pre-ordering it.

Later!
