This game shows an improved game-play for Achilles 1, but Achilles 1 just has better aesthetics even though it has simpler graphics, ironically the first achilles captures way better the minimalist aesthetics of greek legend even though it was meant more like a satire.
First game also has better sound, but I guess that's because he took some movie sounds.
Anyway, you did a great effort my friend, this game is more fun, yet that one other is more artistically transcendental and has that je ne se que(?) you lacked that has made me revisit achilles 1 for 8 years now.
