A huge disappointment comes in the form of SF2's multiplayer mode.
However, there's a cool string of levels in Russia that really bring back the old SF feeling, but it's over all too soon and before you know it, Logan's sneaking around with his Taser again. And why did Eidetic destroy the balance between run-and-gun versus stealth game-play? Overall, there are a lot more stealth missions, each filtered through SF2's harsh mission parameters (read: get caught, start over and over and over and over.). Expect to run each gauntlet over and over again with machine-like precision until you've figured out the lay of the land. What happened to the classic arctic base level from the original SF, where triggering an alarm sent you up shit creek but kept the game rolling just the same? As it is, SF2 has lost all sense of spontaneity. It seems that by allowing you to save (and restart) at each checkpoint, Eidetic has open license to create some of the most linear and frustrating levels ever. However, the price we pay for such minor improvements far outweigh the rewards. The game engine itself offers no substantial improvement, other than a feeble "jump" function that you can't even control, and the ability to save at checkpoints.
But it's our job to tell you that it's a subpar sequel to one of the best games last year and in typical 989 fashion, SF2 is sloppy, rushed and rehashed.
