I adored Yie Ar Kung Fu (1985) it was a highly addictive ground breaking title that I put a criminal amount of hours into. It's sequel was one of those early sequels I was very excited about, alas my expectations weren't met.
I'm not sure if they rushed it or they just ran out of ideas but it just doesn't hold up next to the original. The enemies lack the character of the originals, I mean we have a guy whose weapon is his hair and another who rains lightning down on you for crying out loud.
Loaded with bugs ontop of the lackluster playability, this sequel shows that some games just don't need to become a franchise. Or at least shouldn't if the creators aren't going to put as much love into the sequels as the original game.
Playable stuff but pales in comparison to its predecessor.
The Good:
Some of the same charm
The Bad:
Buggy
Lacks the character of the original
