A great sequel from the original. Still very nostalgic and the exponential growth still feels very satisfying. Going through different time periods and seeing a lot of different things was interesting and fun.
after finishing the main game and all the bonus levels with a gold medal i'd say it's pretty good some levels can end up frustrating if going for gold, but mostly the bonus levels, the japanese levels weren't as interesting as the others and it's not worth going for the last achievements it isn't too different from the first tasty planet, perhaps a little better in certain places but mostly the same
