no even the half as good as the 1st azure striker its way easier, however it still a good game (but i recommend to watch some game plays before buy it, the final bosses were like ok ...that was all?) and they gives most priority to copen story and move sets over gv

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 is definitely a good game, managing to exceed its predecessor in most ways. There's more variety, helped by the addition of a new (rather overpowered) playable character in the form of Copen, and it feels more alive with additional characters and the dialog that comes with them, while still managing to retain the same fun gameplay the first game had. One major difference on this front is how much easier it is to get S ranks. Only once did I rank lower then A during my playthrough, while as getting A and S ranks in the first game could be quite an undertaking. That can be either a good or a bad thing, depending on the kind of person you are, so I won't take points off for it. It's not perfect however. The level design can get a little stale, the story is very lackluster in some parts, and the previously mentioned dialog gets in the way when you're playing and is a huge distraction at times. Also, it comes in a little on the short side if you're not going for high scores and fast times, although it's longer then the first game overall. Overall though, you'll certainly like this game if you liked the first one.
