The PC version has been out for a little while now, and I finally got around to trying it out. It's definitely going to be worth the (supposed) 800 msp pricetag. If you loved the first one, you'll love this. Not much gameplay-wise has been changed, it's just a bunch of new levels and features.
If you were good at the first one, you'll be good at this one. The only real thing to get used to is the surface-breaching, which is a pretty cool feature. It may take time to master the jumping speed and flipping, but that's only because it requires constant upward motion, which is only a problem with a mouse. Should be much easier using the controller.
Other than that, it's much easier to score now, with the Feeding Frenzy multiplier going up to x6 (Feeding Frenzy, Double Frenzy, Triple Frenzy, Super Frenzy, and Mega Frenzy). Don't quote me on the Super Frenzy one though, I might have forgotten the exact name. I ended up hitting 300k points (the achievement for the first game) at about level 17, and since there are 60 levels in the story mode, I would expect the score achievement to be somewhere around 1-1.5 million.
So yeah, excellent game, and here's where my 1 hour trial ended at in story mode:

If anyone else would like to get the 1 hour free trial, just Google "Feeding Frenzy 2", and you should find it fairly easily.
