I'm planning on writing a full review eventually, but for now, here's this.
Yes, the gameplay is 100X better in NMH2, but I have to say, I am disappointed in a few aspects of the game. The main one being the story. I really really love Suda 51 games, most of which have, honestly, mostly awful gameplay, but I put up with it because of the story. In this game, I'm just not feeling it. Does each character have tons of personality? Yes, compared to other games. But it's just not up to Suda 51 standards. After each and every boss fight in NMH1, I felt really affected, every kill was distinct, and every boss was well fleshed out for their short appearances. In this game, the locales seem DUX (farfech'd, u c wut i did thar?
) , and the bosses, while well designed, just don't have the personality I was expecting. Oh well, it's still honestly one of the best games I've ever played.
Overall, I like the lack of sandbox-style world. but I did have a lot of fun riding the bike in the first game, and looking for Lovitov Balls. More thoughts to come later. I tried to stay spoiler free here.
