I mean, it does, but it's just a worse version of Tomba 1.

Tomba 2 is better. The improvements heavily outweigh the flaws.

Tomba 1 is still really good, though.

Both are sub-par willyvanias.

Tomba 1 is better. Fuck this part.

There's not a single improvement. I could list everything that's worse but then I'd literally still be typing by tomorrow. Going from non-linear to linear is obviously a catastrophic downgrade.

I don't think I've ever played a game that was more obviously rushed than Tomba! 2.

Nah. Tomba 2 was the first one of the 2 I played and it's definitely a bit worse at least. It fixes one difficulty issue with Tomba 1 by making shit trivial. Basically, in Tomba 1 lives are limited (because score is also limited) so at some point you're forced to use save points for everything, if you really suck. In Tomba 2 lives are not a thing.

Also Tomba 2 is slow, graphically not impressive (I did like the sprite work in 1) and there's an annoying sidekick and voice acting. And then there's this, too >>5603525

Interesting. How is it better? I kinda didn't buy Tomba 2 solely on the wonky animation and shitty looking 3D factor. Tombi 1 was beautiful.

Are you fucking serious? Tomba 2 looks beautiful. I love that early 3d aesthetic and how things like chests explode into a bunch of polygons when you break them.

The only thing I like is having multiple planes, which tomba 1 does as well. I guess it's colorful and I like one of the latter areas (some sort of water temple I can't remember the name of), but for me Tomba 1 is much more appealing with the mix between 2D and 3D.

Tomba! 2 does have a really great aesthetic. Honestly, the game itself isn't really bad at all. It maintains all of the integrity of a decent Metroidvania by making backtracking from place to place fun and interesting.

It's just much shittier in terms of the world and the gameplay when compared to its predecessor. Tomba! had a ton of interesting places to go and things to do. Tomba! 2 was extremely lame in comparison. They made the mistake of valuing technical prowess over the actual quality of the world they were building, and it really shows.

Not to mention there are plenty of things in the game that were either totally half-assed or left unfinished. The English localization has some of the most shamelessly awful voice acting I've ever heard. There is literally a part in the game where the voice actor fucks up his line, breaks character to collect himself, and then continues the line as if nothing happened.

It's pretty hilarious in retrospect, but when it's actually happening it's nothing short of bizarre.
