I played this over the weekend some. While I thoroughly enjoyed the first one, this one has something very obviously lacking in it and I can't explain it. Most of the problem stems from feeling like you're pushing buttons in water. All the controls are sluggish and are hard to maneuver.
The characters are much the same, some of the minigames are the same. They added a few fun ones as well. But all in all I can't say I enjoyed this game. Definitely not as much as the first one where I had hours of fun. Maybe if would help if my roommates actually played with me instead of no longer playing as soon as I get decent. I don't want to be THAT guy, but you guys can't expect me to not beat you if you suck at video games to begin with.
I'll give this a 6.3 or so. Completely arbitrary. It was not good enough to rent or buy, maybe not even borrow. In fact, unless you played the first one, don't play this one. And if you did play the first on then go play the first one some more. It was a better game. Play this one for novelty. Then go play something else.

It was the whole jump/duck lightsaber game that killed it. After doing that one and its amazingly sluggish controls, I really didn't want to play anymore.
It was weird. When I first saw it I was thinking running through the streets punching and kicking people! (oh double dragon how I long for thee)
This was just a collection of little party games, that although they could be fun didn't really spark any interest out of me. Plus I've never been good at those "punch in the correct combination" simeon says type stuff.
And as far as quitting as soon as you get decent, my playing fifa countered that statement.
If a game doesn't hold my interest, I stop playing. or get irritable(world of warcraft).
Although if I'm constantly losing 10 goals to 0 my interest does tend to slip away at an increased rate. :P
Honestly, you lasted much much longer than I would've playing FIFA. My problem is that I play a game and enjoy it, then I'll keep playing it. If it's a multiplayer game, I end up getting frustrated because I spent so much time playing it that I either have no competition, or my friends don't wanna play. Ah, the life of the guy who pays for gamefly... :(
