I remember that i never liked the fact that: -you had not much variety in weapons as in Joe & Mac I -you did NOT have the sommersault for long jumps -NO WEAPON-CHARGING -somehow i felt it was more "closed" than the first game, asi it did not have so many routes or forgiving enemies as it used to -way harder difficulty (i sucked at videogames at 12, and i still do...) So, for me, it was a very botched game, and it did desserve the lower rating, even with the faux-RPG elements thrown in. I played this one back in 1994. I remember that i never liked the fact that:
