It took me a sec to understand the mechanic (and that I didn't need to fire constantly) but once I did, I flew through the game. I wasn't a huge fan of the mouse only control as it made it difficult to aim at times but I guess that's an intentional challenge of the game that also keeps it simple. I never really got a chance to work through the ships as they were all easily unlockable on the first run but playing with the bubble tank was super easy and as an average player, I probably wouldn't go back and play as the others (though I did). Overall, fun at least for a while and no major flaws. 4/5 (seizure mode got you some points as well =P).
Things I'm not so fond of:
1) Armor Games link/restrictions. Obvious reasons, I'm sure you've gotten enough crap for it already. Seriously though, Kongregate is for people who really appreciate games and serving up watered-down versions doesn't help advance that image.
That's really my only complaint. Online PvP would be nice but overall great game, very enjoyable. 4.9/5.
Things I love about this game (only new features included):
1) 3 ability trees. Makes for 3x the customization of playing style.
2) Team commands. It's nice when your team mates do what you want. I really like that the player doesn't have direct control as well. You hit a perfect balance here.
3) New graphic style. Even better than the old, really helps create a mood for the game.
4) Length. The first game ended a bit too suddenly for me. This one was long enough to be enjoyed thoroughly but not so long as to become stale.
5) Cutscenes. Best of any flash game I've played, hands down.
6) Story. Though slow at times, the story actually helped keep me engaged, unlike the last game where it seemed secondary.
Killing Gregor is actually quite easy as a psychological. Max out Haunt and Traumatize for Focus drain, then make sure confinement is maxed to reduce his healing by 90%. Then, just blast him with electricity and shadow damage (make sure you're not using Dark Infusion, he'll regain focus!)

Tips:
-Tapping down and back simultaneously will make you move backward from a stopped position allowing you more runway.
-Don't be afraid to hang.
