    The story in "The Smurfs 2" is generally well-received, with players noting it as a significant improvement over its predecessor, "Mission Vileaf." Reviewers appreciate the engaging narrative, fitting music, and strong voice acting, which enhance the overall experience. While some feel the sequel retains the charm of the first game, it also introduces upgrades that make the story more enjoyable and immersive.

    • “Though 'The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf' was a fun game, I think its sequel is a vast improvement on all fronts!”
    • “The music fits the story great and the voice acting is, like in the previous game, on point!”
    • “I'm still at 10%, but already falling in love with everything: story, gameplay adjustments, and the fact that the formula established from the previous game is intact but just expanded and overall more enjoyable.”
    • “The Smurfs 2 feels like the first game in visual with some upgrades on textures and story.”
    • “So you might have seen my review on Mission Vileaf.”

  • gameplay9 mentions

    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 variety 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.

    • “I'm still at 10%, but I've already fallen in love with everything: story, gameplay adjustments, phasing, and the fact that the formula established from the previous game is intact but just expanded and overall more enjoyable. Osome and Microids did a really great job with this.”
    • “If I'm honest, I liked the first game a little more because of the more interesting character choices and the more collectibles-focused gameplay than the sequel, but it's still a fun and good sequel.”

    • “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.”
