“I found this one quite better than the first game - the storylines are more fleshed out and with more variety, the jokes got less repetitive, and it gave some side characters a chance to shine. Made me consider selling…”
“This one caught me off guard, absolutely hilarious game. A must if you want something to sit back and watch, and make a choice every now and again.”
“The best way to describe the Class of '09 is that it is the South Park of visual novels. This sequel increases the length and depth of routes, whilst maintaining the tone and humour of the first game, but in it's…”

“fewer endings than the first but each route is much more longer”
“Peak just like the first game. basically same as the first one but the dialogues go on for much longer. It's not a bad thing at all, there is just less options to choose in this game. Still very entertaining though.”

“just gotten all the endings. and I find while getting to each ending a little repetitive its still verry funny. the endings feel very rewarding to get. I haven't played the first game but when I get around to buying and…”
“The funniest and in my opinion best game of the series. Less endings than the first but the game is more story filled and the endings are just more rewarding. Only gripe is that it's 15 dollars for 5.5 hours of gameplay…”
“Less than half the endings of the first game but they feel more impactful when it comes to side characters. Endings of the first game were more centered around Nicole whereas this game is more on the female side…”

“not as many endings as the first game but the quality of the endings were amazing also im starting to get the craze around toxic yuri now”
“This is like the FEAR 2 sequal where its arguably better than the original but also has flaws that make the original a better choice to play. Unlike the first game there are far fewer options and endings to go for, the…”
“Compared to original there are way less options, but still pretty good story.”

“I put the same review on the first game (I bought them both since they're cheap on sale and not too taxing on my hard drive space.) Visual novels might just not be my thing, but I didn't find it a great game because it…”

“Felt like a condensed version of the first one. Still really good but I hoped that there would be more endings. Still recommending this after playing the original though.”

“It's just a simulator of bullying people. Not really funny or entertaining. I hate how culture has shifted to no longer view mean girls as bad and instead idolizing them.”
“Cant believe they tried to burn down Ari's house without me. This game truely has worse endings than the frirst. 10/10 would sit through the endless dialogues again.”
