Plot

The game is centered around Manon Batiste, a supporting character from the first game who is a French Resistance fighter turned OSS agent.

Why It Rocks

1. Retains a lot of what made the first game great while adding its own improvements, as explained below.
2. Amazing and memorable orchestral soundtrack, again courtesy of Michael Giacchino.
3. Also supports DualShock controllers, allowing for faster character movement.
4. New weapons and items, such as a crossbow, molotov cocktails, a camera, and an StG44 assault rifle.
5. Combat is slightly more large-scaled than the first game.
6. New enemy types, including vehicles such as Halftracks and Panzer tanks.
7. A hilarious and challenging secret mission, where you play as Patterson attacking a castle full of walking dogs, zombies, knights, and human-sized sentient nutcracker soldiers.
8. Plenty of cheat codes that make the game even more interesting, such as adding a time limit, or making enemies attack each other.

Bad Qualities

1. Graphics look almost exactly like the first game.
2. The GBA port was horrid.
