Just played this game (thats right 2013)

I have had the original since it came out and liked it so I saw this one for $3 on Amazon and decided to give it a try. I thought it was a worthy sequel but not sure why they changed the controls up from the original. They seem to have placed a lot of emphasis on the zoom. The other thing I didnt care for was how jerky and stilted the movement was. I suppose it is more realistic but I am always getting hung up around furniture and street debris.
I liked the characters and plot development and some of the levels (like the school) were well done. The game got progressively harder toward the end and the Ninjas were especially difficult. (more so than the original)
Without giving away the ending, I would say that while intense, the pacing of the game was truncated and it ended extremely abruptly. With no resolution scene like the end of the first game.

So I guess I will play part3 if I can find it cheap too. Shouldn't be hard in 2013.
