The problem isn't just that it is a rehash, but rather that it rehashes the original fight without bringing any of the stuff that made it great (namely, the level design). The original was great because the boss itself had a simple pattern, but one you had to deal with among attacks from other enemies, ever-changing environments and all other sorts of attacks - 2's final boss doesn't have any of that, it's just the simple pattern and that's it. Even the final bit, for as flashy and awesome as it is, really is all just style with no substance. |
I suppose the difference between me (and I assume Curl) and you is that I was just looking for a good boss fight. And I got that. I was not holding a comparison sheet so as to measure every single element of 2 against 1 and dock points :P
