Narwhal: Cannon Fodder 2 is 100% a "more of the same" sort of prequel...
...which makes it very good !
It's actually a sequel, considering that it's taking place in the future. ;)
Agree though that it is a very good game. It may not provide as powerful social criticism as the first one did but the gameplay is just as good if not even better.
jamyskis: I've got the Sold Out version as well. The thing that struck me about it was that it was a very, very faithful port of the Amiga version, which is more than you could say about the first game.
Yeah, as far as I remember the audio was actually almost on the same level as in the Amiga version. I'm still pissed that the audio was so screwed up in the DOS version of the first game (Adlib MIDI music, no ambient sounds). In case of CF2 there's actually even one thing that's better in the DOS version: there's tombstones on "boot hill" which had to be removed from the Amiga version for the sake of preserving memory.
