the game introduces a few new vehicles, and a boss killing laser. It also introduces a lot of lag that the first game did not have.
It is still an absolute must play, a fantastic looking game that few titles compare to in terms of it's pixel perfect 16 bit style or wacky and wildly entertaining action-packed ride through a half dozen stages.

We played on a Raspberry Pi retromachine, I just wish the enemies didn't shoot out water when you kill them. I'm sure there's a blood code or something, but either way we had a bunch of fun.
Infinite lives is perfect for a fun time regardless of skill level because we kept dying over and over. A nice thing about continuing is you can select a new player each time.
