Once executed, the game goes into a long, drawn-out animation sequence where nobody can do anything but sit and watch - except for the parts I previously mentioned where you twirl around the sticks and what have you. To make matters even shallower, there are about five or six slightly different button combinations (shared across all characters) that trigger a special move. The main shortcoming of the fighting is that all of the characters are too similar, and there is basically no interaction between special moves. But this fancy presentation doesn't make the real game, the one-on-one fighting, any more fun. This is a lot more interesting than the one-player mode in the original, which was a nothing more than a linear sequence of fights. When your character meets an enemy, battle ensues. Each stage may have one of a number of different objectives, but it really just boils down to moving your characters around on the board in turns. Here you get to play through nine stages, each of which is represented as a pretty game board with cute animated pieces of your friends and enemies.

The main problem with this is that it's pretty easy to fill up the meter all the way every time. Depending on the move, after you press the right buttons, you may be able to spin the analog sticks around rapidly in order to fill up a meter (as the animation of the move is being performed), which then will correspond to the amount of damage that will be inflicted. For example, the only noticeable change to the fighting system is the addition of four different player inputs while your character is executing a special move. Most of the new features of the game are cosmetic and trivial. Right away I can tell you that if you played the first one, your opinion of this game will more than likely be the same. In fact, this game has no significant improvement in functional terms over the first one.
