The sequel was eventually released in Feb. 2006, but has a Metacritic score of 44. Apparently it was developed by the same team as the first game until they went bankrupt -- at which point development was finished by DC Studios and the game was published by SouthPeak Interactive. It didn't seem to add anything new to the gameplay of the first title. | |||
