4/5. Would be 5/5, but weird glitches like double-jumps and double-dives in swimming, teleporting forward in running, and not having the camera centered in climbing get annoying.
As good a game as this is, a good deal of it (especially as the campaigns progress) is based on luck. Beyond that, all the new changes are aesthetically pleasing, but the lack of true growth in castle height makes it hard to tell how close the enemy is to reaching 100 "stories" sometimes. (100 stories was tall in the first game, now it just seems like a concept rather than a reality.)
Innovative game design, truly unique races and units, a good balance overall, sound effects that go "pew pew!", and a comment about freaking hippies. 5/5
Wonderful game with challenging and fun puzzles. I thought the controls were a little funky from time to time, but extremely entertaining. Wallace's voice brings back old memories... 5/5
Good game, but very glitchy. Either shield and havok upgrades don't exist or the game didn't want me to think so, because when I tried to purchase them nothing would happen and the option would simply disappear.
