It is a shame indeed.

I looooooved 999, but haven't been able to find a copy of this game. Is it as good?

Yeah, the story + handheld excuse is weak.

Virtues Last Reward leaves the door wide open for a sequel, so it's kinda disappointing in that regards. At least the sequel has already been confirmed to be in the works. Other than that, the quality of the story is similarly good as in 999, so I don't think a fan of the first Zero Escape can be let down by the second game.

When it comes to gameplay, there's more game this time around and additional files to unlock by completing the puzzles without falling back on the easy difficulty setting. There's also a convenient flow chart for the story that allows you to access any branching point quickly, so you don't have to start from the beginning of the game everytime you want to see another branch and different ending. It also means that puzzle rooms that have been completed once never need to be played again. This is a very welcome feature and makes VLR easily the better game out of the two Zero Escape titles. But since they are visual novels, the quality of the story is still the most important factor, so it's understandable if some people still prefer 999.

Very good to hear. Some people say 'I will get this eventually' and never do, but I WILL have this game eventually.
