    Despite any downsides this game might have, "Strider 2" delivers what it was meant to -- sheer fun.

    A solid retro title -- it's over quickly, and the graphics are rough, but the gameplay triumphs.

    A good three to four hours of fast-paced fun if you take the time to find the secrets, thus making it perfect for a weekend rental.

    You can easily beat the game in one sitting -- pretty disappointing, especially for "Strider" veterans.

    Hacking enemies to pieces never seems to get old. That said, the sequel offers little challenge and doesn't take very long to complete.

    The difference is purely in level design, which is creative and interesting in the first game ("Strider") and pure crap in the second.

    Only dedicated fans of side scrollers should tackle this title, as even those enamored with the titular character will be disappointed by the lack of new developments for the Strider franchise, especially after such an extended wait.

    The sound is forgettable (which I nearly did), the graphics are sub-par, yet the gameplay is simple...and I like it.
