What players say
It's a good game i cant stop playing, but i wish there was a way to initiate a manual save before i quit the game. I like it and i like it comes with the old goldium edition too.
A dissapointing sequel to the original. As a matter of fact, i prefer the original. This game has better graphics and that's about it. Multiplayer is weird, you have to play on the same screen. And none of the mechanics and upgrades are explained, you have to figure it out yourself.
