Review: Infinity Blade II Still Goes to Infinity -- But Only a Bit Beyond

Upon finishing my first battle in Infinity Blade II, I was gravely concerned that developer Chair Entertainment had inadvertently created a parody of the original game's conceit, and that I was trapped in another endless loop of the same gameplay I'd so fully exhausted a year ago. I was dead wrong. It doesn't take long for this follow-up to the poster child for iPhone gaming to show its stuff and set it apart from its predecessor as a worthy sequel.

The first Infinity Blade was often rightly summed up as "Punch-Out!! with swords," though I could be heard to argue that the fighting system offered more depth than that description implied. That depth was easy to miss, however, as you could easily charge through the game never even using mechanics like the parry system. Infinity Blade II fixes that from the very beginning; by augmenting said parry system, better explaining it, and offering substantial incentive for using it in battles.
