- “The music fits the story great and the voice acting is, like in the previous game, on point!”

The gameplay in the sequel has shifted to a more traditional platforming style with rail shooting elements, which some players find solid but less innovative compared to the original's unique mechanics. While the sequel offers enjoyable adjustments and expands on the established formula, it lacks the depth and character choices that made the first game more engaging for some fans. Overall, the gameplay is seen as fun but not as groundbreaking as its predecessor, leaving room for improvement in future installments.
- “The sequel did some things better than the first game; this one has a little bit different gameplay style than the first game. It's more of a jump and run with rail shooting elements, and it did it fully solid.”
- “I'm still at 10%, but I've already fallen in love with everything: story, gameplay adjustments, pacing, and the fact that the formula established from the previous game is intact but just expanded. Overall, it's more enjoyable (not that the first wasn't, mind you)... Osome and Microids did a really great job with this.”
- “This series needs a third game, at least to make it a trilogy. Please make it happen; I wouldn't mind a new, slightly different gameplay experience next time.”
- “Sadly, fragments of the green stone ditch the innovative 'vacuum' device mechanic of its predecessor in favor of a more traditional platformer approach.”
- “While serviceable, this decision leaves much to be desired for fans of the original game's unique gameplay.”
- “The visuals and soundtrack maintain the charm of the Smurf universe, but they fail to compensate for the lackluster gameplay experience.”
