MediEvil 2/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Contested Sequel: While still a good game, compared to the quirky and creative original, it is a massive letdown.
  • Good Bad Bugs: One amusing glitch involves charging a sword attack on a ladder, which results in Dan's upper body spinning wildly and uncontrollably once he gets off.
  • Most Annoying Sound: "Alright Dan, you've come a long way! I'd save if I was you!" Shut up, Winston.
  • Scrappy Mechanic:
    • Once you've used up all of the stuff that a healing spring provides you, it never ever replenishes, unlike in the first game. Thus, unless you're willing to hunt down energy vials, you may end up locked in an losing situation.
    • Fall damage was added in this game, and it only serves to make the game even harder, thanks to the awkward platforming and the increase in narrow walkways over solid ground.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Kiya could have not only been a better love interest for Dan, but also a better character in general. Instead, she has barely any screen time, barely any lines, and just feels like a waste of space.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: This game is set many centuries after the first game in Victorian England. They really could have played up the Fish Out of Water angle for laughs (this is a comedy game after all). Instead, the game glosses over it and gives us a generic plot that really isn't all that funny or memorable.
