Definitely an improvement over the first one, shorter levels allow the player to feel less frustration. The structures of the levels are slightly richer, the soundtrack is very good and fitting, there is even slightly better dialogue compared to the first one. The Nerd is as one dimensional as ever, some references are fine, but when you get over a certain age, your ideal character will never be a guy that spits insults every time he opens his mouth, nor he will be funny to anyone with a brain. X) If your state of mind is going through levels where you will die more than often and you're a big fan of the Nerd, this sequel might be a good choice, definitely go for this over the first one if you feel indecisive.

Frustrating as all hell to plough through the difficult bits. Would count as Nintendo Hard if it weren't for the generous ten lives per level. Great for both fans of AVGN and old-school gaming.

The Nerd is back in an adventure that's larger, louder, and (wall-jumping grip) loafer than ever. While these weren't all changes I enjoyed 100% of the time, it's still a great follow-up.

It's as hard as it is fun. At some point touching grass seems like a better idea.
