History YMMV / MediEvil2

* {{Sequelitis}}: While still a good game, MediEvil II’s gameplay shortcomings and rushed plot can make it feel like a letdown compared to the tighter and better written original game.

-->'''Palethorne:''' What a strange adversary Fortesque is. He's persistent, I'll give him that. And he certainly has the beating of you two.

-->'''Palethorne:''' He also defeated Iron Slugger... '''''YOU DOLT!''''' I've had enough of your slimy whining. ''GET OUT!''

** TGX {{notes in his review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxQWjTI-d6o}} that having Sir Daniel's second adventure occur so close to the present day severely crippled possibilities for future games. Rather than potentially going forward one century each game allowing for us to see multiple time periods the franchise jumps all the way to the late 19th century. Making it very difficult to continue the series regardless of how the game performed.

* GoodBadBug: 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.
* {{Narm}}: [[spoiler: Kiya's murder by Jack the Ripper and Dan's ensuing HeroicBSOD is hastily executed. Also, Kiya being such a flat character who only has two or three lines through the entire game, it's hard to see this scene as a legit TearJerker.]]

* {{Sequelitis}}: While still a good game, compared to the quirky and creative original, it is a massive letdown.

** This game is set many centuries after the first game in Victorian England. They really could have played up the FishOutOfWater 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. General consensus is that after WhiteChapel's first visit, the game runs out of steam and it becomes a slog to finish.

** Once you've used up all of the healing 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.
