Quality>Quantity. If you said "There are way more GOOD single player levels!" then, ok. Otherwise, who cares if you have a 117 level pack if all of the levels are crap?

This is highly opinonated. Just because something is fun doesn't mean it's of quality. For example, it's fun to slam the bongoes in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, but that game is complete crap otherwise.

This is more of an opinionated than all of the other points, I wouldn't have even bothered to list it.

There are many more bugs you could have listed than a minor Devan bug and "Many clipping errors" which I don't even know how that applies, since I'm pretty sure clipping is a term only used for 3d games.

There are sheilds in JJ2 as well, and these even give you stronger firepower

And yet, you have crappy audio quality, so you're not getting the full experience. Plus I could play JJ2 on Linux with Wine which then means I could potentially play it on a PS3 or Xbox (Haven't fully looked into it).

You're not planet hopping in JJ2. I don't see how this applies. Hell, you're on the same planet for all of episode 1.

So all in all, a little "why I think" added to the topic and first sentence could go along way.
Very few of these are actual facts and a few are just plain false.

And really, you could live without the special moves? Ok, try playing the SP campaign in JJ2 without buttstomping or using a move to jump higher. See how far you get.

I also don't get why more weapons isn't an advantage to you, while you list trivial things such as "OMG THEREZ NO COMICK!!!" as an advantage. What you don't want updates to the gameplay? All you want are just flashy pictures?
