for being on the PS2 this game really should have had better graphics than what it does. Same as 64's version.
The game really doesnt differ all that much from its predessor except that your trying to collect shards to stop this guy named Karn.
the fact that you can play it with multiple people really makes this game come to life, but I would NOT recommend playing this by yourself or else you will kill yourself (literally).
The sound is a bit TOO old school with nothing special and it just dulls away.... maybe play some music in the background.
Controls are easy to learn which is good for beginners, so its all basically hack and slash, grab a few friends and this game will be much better of an experience
