Hey, I'd like to preface this with the fact that I used to play the original game constantly as a kid. Hell, I still do; Temple Run Classic is one of my all-time favourites.Temple Run 2 lives up to the legacy. More maps, more graphics, more characters, more features, more everything. I love it to bits; genuinely, I adore this game, and I was more than willing to pay the $3 ad-removal fee to support the devs.But you may notice that I only rated it 4 stars. And the reason is simple - there are some things that didn't quite carry over from the original, which I'm a bit disappointed about. They're all minor issues, and in no way detract from the experience! But they are, in my eyes, issues nonetheless.Primarily, speed. I understand that this was likely done to appeal to the younger audiences, given they're a primary demographic for mobile games nowadays, but coming in after spending so much time on the original makes this game feel... slow. At no points were my reflexes and reaction speeds being actively challenged, which is a bit of a shame.Of course, again, I think it's a logical move to make. But, if I may make a suggestion... perhaps some sort of toggle would be helpful? A way for players to actively add back in the difficulty that came with the higher top speeds of the original. It even comes with its own risk/reward built in; higher speeds means tighter timings, but it also means faster coin collection.The other issue, less prominent than the speed one, is the death screens. The game overs in this game... lack a bit of that charm that I loved from the original. The personalised artworks and text for every obstacle and character were fun little details and in fact were quite fun to look at. I understand that with this game's much larger roster of characters, this would be far less convenient to implement, so the simplified form makes perfect sense, but it's... a tad disappointing, nonetheless.Overall, beyond these two little details I miss from the first game, this is an incredibly fun experience that I think is well worth the legacy it carries.
