Neutopia II -- All In One.

I've completed Neutopia II over the last few days. I've been playing the game via the Wii's Virtual Console. The game takes roughly ten to twelve hours. About the same as the original Neutopia. It's pretty much more of the same, with the standard sequel improvements. Slightly better graphics, mostly in the animation of the enemies,  make the game's art style easy to look at. A stronger narrative wherein you're looking for your father who has gone missing during what appears to be the return of Dirth from the first game. They've added new weapons that add a little spice to the combat. The puzzles remain largely unchanged from the first game. Nothing new, just more of the same. You're still pushing rocks and burning bushes and all the other original Zelda type actions. Neutopia II came out a year after the original Neutopia and it is regarded as the superior game in the series. I'd pretty much agree with that sentiment. Just don't be expecting any drastic changes. The game is an overall tighter experience than the original. The best improvement being a more focused path through the game than the pure wandering of the original. I'm giving Neutopia II via the Wii Virtual Console some seventeen years after originally playing the game a 7.5.
