The soundtrack is integral to the Ecco games for creating atmosphere and Ecco 2 provides excellent music albeit feeling out of place with the action compared to the chiptunes in the cartridge version. There is now an intro sequence, history Glyph Crystals that show scenes from the previous game and cutscenes with computer-generated full motion video in the standard (grainy) Mega-CD quality. Not only is the cartridge version a great game, the CD versions shows great use of the hardware with Redbook audio, FMV and autosave. A new pseudo-3D intersection puts a new perspective on the swimming and is impressive to see. In comparison to the first game, graphics are improved with more detail and better animations, and all still flowing super smoothly. Note: This feature covers both the CD and cartridge versions as the number and contents of the levels are the same. Developed by Novatrade and released in 1994 for the Mega Drive/Genesis with a slightly enhanced Mega-CD/SEGA-CD version following some months later it was one of the most anticipated games of the year and earned very high review scores. Ecco 2: The Tides of Time (Ecco 2) is a step up from that game in every way.
