Overview Following closely from the original, PC Genjin 2 keeps the formula and makes a few tweaks, such as different power-up characters and limiting your ability to somersault as fast as before.
Comment
The sequel bumps the graphics up to scratch and introduces more crazy bosses and bonus stages. It is a really quality, full platforming experience, but the inability to do really, really fast mid air somersaults can be a little frustrating at times if you are used to the original game. sunteam_paul
You say... PC Genjin 2, AKA PC Kid 2, AKA Bonks Revenge. I think this was the first game I ever played on a PC Engine, and what a way to make an impression. Those crisp, bright colours, impeccable controls, and stunning level design brimming with secrets. I want to say it feels a bit like Alex Kidd perfected, but TBT, I haven't played much of that series. Bonk has a nice weight to him when he moves, and although there's plenty of inertia, it feels precise, even on the ice levels. The levels feel really well designed compared to the previous game, with branching paths, secret areas, traps, and a good amount of attention to detail. Bosses offer a nice mix of pattern recognition, thought and precision, similar to the last game. And lastly the music is spot on for this type of game, always whimsical, sometimes upbeat. To me, this hangs with the great platformers of the time. A classic that you need to play if you haven't. soop
