Better gameplay and graphics than the first game but I think the writing, art direction, and level/map design all took a hit in quality. The new cutscenes look so much worse than the comic book cutscenes in the first game. Not a fan of Cole's new voice actor or character design either. I have to admit the evil ending is amazing. Shame we never got a sequel set in that timeline. The setting could have been really interesting.
Relieved to see this as the warmest-received of the series. Advanced powers felt fantastic in this game and everything they were working toward with the gameplay of the first clicked into place for an amazing experience here.
Also, as loathed as it was at the time, I really do prefer the change in tone, as a pre-Marvel-Explosion take on superheroes with some comedy. First game still has probably the best cutscenes though, amazing stuff.
