I picked up the game a few days ago at Circuit City for only $24, and so far I can safely say that's it a lot better than the previous game. The level design is better, the music is better, and it's longer and more challenging. I still don't think like it as much as the Genesis/Sega CD Sonic games, but if developer Dimps continues to improve the series with each installment we may have something as good as Sonic Team's efforts very soon.
New to the game is the character Cream, who is quite possibly the lamest video game character I've ever seen. She's even lamer than Amy (who unfortunately has returned for this sequel), but she does have some cool abilities so it's alright.
This is definitely the best original platformer for the GBA, so you guys should buy it while it's so cheap at CC. If only Nintendo would make some original GBA Mario games.
