This game is a departure from the first two games by giving you an “open world” aspect to the series. Rather than keeping you confined in a castle or a tower, you’re free to walk around the world of Lolo to complete the levels. When you do get into the levels, though, they are the exact same kind of game play as the previous two games, so it doesn’t completely alienate Lolo lovers. One other MAJOR game change, which doesn’t add anything really, is that you can now choose between Lolo or Lala to complete your puzzles.
The only thing I noticed that was new, in terms of graphics, was the over world area. This area does have some pretty nice detail to it with, what seems like, the castle from the first game and the tower from the second. I don’t know if they are the ACTUAL structures from the previous games, but I can dream, CAN’T I?! In the puzzle levels, the status screen has actually updated a little bit showing what level and what room you’re in which TOTALLY helps my memory with where I stopped/died.
