Not what I was hoping
I liked the first game, and for the second, I was hoping for more of the same - which I did not get. Instead, the second game was even BETTER than the first. Really truly enjoyable, and I know I will be playing it again and again.
One gripe - the first boss. He is WAAAAY too hard. After losing to him the first time, I decided to just restart and lose my progress. I got the steel rapier (once finding the money in the water barrel next to the abandoned house), and finished in the mines EXCEPT for the first boss. Then I just had to wander around, leveling up my character so that I could stand up to the boss. That boss is way too hard to be so early in the game.
Other than that, fantastic game. You should see about getting it to a production company - I would totally buy this for my PS3.
