When MM came out, it had a mesmerizing quality. We played it after school a lot. I even bought a MM cabinet for my home arcade several years ago.
Playing MMII for the first-time last night, I feel that it really misses the mark. I appreciate the large number of mazes, but it has lost that special quality. The mazes are too cluttered, and you can't get the speed that you could in MM. The wackiness is over-the-top so to speak, and there was no need to add the cartoony faces on the marble.
The pinball bonus stages are unnecessary and detract from the game.
I understand (with the clutter) why they went with a joystick instead of the trackball, but I don't really like it that much.
I'll try out 2-player with my son over the July 4th holiday this weekend.
