You'd take too easy any time? You would rather spend $30 for a game you beat in two hours and probably find pretty disappointing, over one that keeps you playing for a lot longer but is frustrating along the way? There are some great easy games, sure -- see the Kirby series -- but I do not think that MMII is one of them. MMI is challenging, and I have plenty of memories of being quite frustrated by that game, but it's the kind of frustration that kept be coming back until I finally beat the game, probably years after getting it. The last two levels are really hard, but it was so satisfying to finally finish them! You're right that the game requires some memorization, but isn't that most any game? I guess MMI does have some trap bits, and that's not good, but you learn them. No, MMI is significantly better than II. I is still only average, but that's still better than II. II is barely even deserving of a passing grade, if it even deserves one at all.
Quote: Also, I have to say that the melodies are solid enough on the GB, it's the instrument choices that ruin it. Want proof?Yeah, that's pretty impressive stuff and it definitely makes MMII's music dramatically better than the ear-gouging disappointment that Capcom shipped. You can really tell that a different team made that game. There's such a huge quality gap between it and all of the other four games...
