It's a great game! The graphics are generated this time, so the synch problems between the characters and the fmv backgrounds is solved. The game supports more people following Ulala, too. Also the animations are very imroved, wait until you see Ulala's new dance moves!
The gameplay is the same except for a few twists (like holding buttons and directions for a moment). The difficulty is higher too, so it's better to play the first one before this. The music keeps the SC5 classic style, but changes sometimes according to the actions you take.
This game is whackier in every possible way (even has a tentacle scene for the hentai fans), just wait for the first duel with Pudding or the one with the sexy Pine.
Replay value? Since this game has a lot of costumes to unlock in the different 1p and 2p modes, (some harder than it should) you'll be playing the game a lot. Special mention to the "wireframe" look you obtain if you have a Rez save.
And the game can be perfectly played in japanese, of course, but you'll miss the story (hey, there are always FAQs for that!).

Ah! So in the Japanese versions, it's a Japanese voice actress? My friends and I bought the domestic release and couldn't stand it... Listening to the same, "Left, Right, Left, Right... Shoot, Shoot, Shoot," in a monotone voice... I cringe at the thought! Anyhow, our main gripe was that there was no indicator or meter as to when to START inputting button taps. Was this remedied? A lot of the times, the case would be that we could've inputted the long ass list of commands, but only if they filled us in on when to start. We only missed them all because the first one was off, screwing up the rest of the commands... I have morning breath. (;

Hmmm.... so the american version is even worse than I imagined....
So yes, even in the first game, there was a graphical indicator and a sound that meant "it's your turn", and the acting was really .... breathtaking. I think it's really an untranslatable game, I don't think you could translate exactly the "Aaah! 50metoru sakini, cheer girl hanno desu!" in any language. It's so..... so.
Anyways, I agree, the part 2 is so crazy the 1st episode could be mistaken for a sequel to Metal Gear Solid. Fear the revenge of the Cheer Leaders !!!

You know I didn't think the English Voices were all that bad or that play system was too awful in part one, but hey if they changed them it has to be for the better right?

Well, let's say that in my opinion (and in the opinion of the friends who played the game) the first game was terrific, but a little short. The second has all the qualities of the first episode, with many, many improvements and great ideas all over. I really don't see a bad point in part 2, except that it's 100% in japanese, and I have to translate everything when my friend are here.
If you guy's thinks this game is sometimes challenging then try playing the game with a Dance Dance Revolution Pad, it add's a whole new twist to playing in sincronisation and boy is it hard, but still fun to play.

I thought it was okay, but I kinda lost interest after a week even though I hadn't unlocked everything. The game's just too short! And there's not enough alternate routes like in the first one. You can play through a version of the original levels that have different people to save, but come on, there's hardly anything different except for a few lines of dialogue and a few changed steps!
That's true, but I tried to play at different level (it depends of the screen you're at, sometimes you have 4 differents steps of the same screen, wether you have played perfectly well, very well, not that well or bad, and the dialogues and chorus change) and I still discover things.
But once again, I really doubt of the interest of the game if you don't understand what is said.
