I love Exile to death, but I just really could not get into WP at all. This applied to both the JP and US release of it. I wish I could put my finger on it, but it just seems like it was a number of things.
Ditto. I don't know what it is. The story and character development was definitely better in the original. They're both linear, but the sequel seems extra "railroady": town -> action -> boss -> cinema.
I'm contemplating buying the PCE version and swapping discs so I can finally beat the last tower and be done with WP.
Currently stuck in Legend of Xanadu so I played the Addams Family for no good reason. I liked the game a lot more as a kid.
I had a good time playing through Addams Family a couple years ago. IMO, it's better than several other unpopular TG platformers (impossamole, tailspin, night creatures)
