    • 80 Critic Score
    Though the gameplay gets somewhat repetitive (kill bad guys, find key to open door, repeat), it's fun enough for players who want to tear through it in a day. [Fall 2003, p.42]

    Better than most platformers out there...The only beef we have with this title is that it's too dang short. [Spring 2003, p.35]

    Less mindless than a typical Mario game, but still full of action. May be too challenging for young players. [Summer 2004, p.29]

    Visiting hot springs, betting on the horses, and sweet-talking the locals, this is much more than just a farming game. [Spring 2004, p.29]

    EX2 takes all of the characters, attacks, and special moves you'd find in an arcade KOF game and crams them into the GBA. [Spring 2004, p.43]
