The original remains my favorite next-gen platformer, and I've been anticipating this sequel for a long time. Now the first reviews are rolling in, and they're...weird. Some reviewers are claiming that the game is still harder than hell, while others complain that it has been dumbed down and it's now possible to beat the game in less than six hours.
The awesome difficulty of the first Maximo is probably my favorite aspect of the original, and I'm going to be pissed if Capcom has once again taken a tough-as-nails franchise and wimped it out for all the casual gamers, a la Devil May Cry. Some games are fun *because* they're tough, damn it. Beating the original Maximo without dying is one of my best gaming achievements, and I was hoping for another good challenge with its sequel.
Anyway, it comes out tomorrow, but I don't have the money to get it yet. If anybody is planning on picking it up, let us know how it is, 'kay?
