It's an interesting difference between that and the first game, a lot of game-related things could be a matter of taste and opinion, but I'm really sure that they've tightened sync up, and that matters a lot to me. Now you can (almost) reliably play it and know that if you screw up, it's on you. Mostly, the game changed for the better. Larger difficulty range, more things to unlock (some in pretty vague and ridiculous ways, a sign of times), less repetitive gameplay where possible. I like it
