The music in the game is widely praised for its memorable and engaging soundtracks, which enhance the overall experience with humor and nostalgia reminiscent of classic films. While the soundtrack is enjoyable, some players noted that the repetition of tracks during longer levels can become tiresome. Overall, the developers' passion for the source material shines through, contributing to a delightful auditory experience.
“A beautiful, 'long lost' interactive Spencer-Hill movie for the ages, lovingly recreated by people who have the original movies - and soundtracks - in their DNA.”
“The usual fighting action is supported by a memorable soundtrack and slapstick moves.”
“Hilarious dialogues, a silly but somehow still kind of threatening villain, great soundtracks, fun minigames, and occasional puzzles breaking up the pace of plentiful brawls.”
“I will eventually start playing the game when I am sick of the music.”
“Fun game, however it lacks more ambient sounds and since the levels are long, the same music repeating over and over can become obnoxious sometimes.”
“The soundtrack is completely playable in the menu like a jukebox, but it's still a bit better than in the first game.”

Overall, the game's stability has improved compared to previous entries, with fewer bugs reported, though some issues like the black tiger getting stuck in the air still occur. The AI-controlled partner is less problematic, requiring fewer revives, although it still occasionally misuses health pick-ups.
“A bit buggy; for example, the black tiger sometimes gets stuck in the air, and you need to restart.”
“The AI-controlled partner does not need to be revived all the time, though he still occasionally gobbles health pick-ups off the floor when he does not really need them.”
