The sequel to Shadow of the Beast (which was cartridge only) picks up some time after the end of the original.  The manual is mainly filled with back story, and leaves you enthusiastic and ready to take on the forces of darkness.  Then you start playing.  Beast II has the potential to be a very good platform/adventure crossover game, but the difficulty level is set far too high and the controls just unresponsive enough to leave you firing in the wrong direction.  Digitised speech, CD audio and a few animated cut-scenes add some enhancement over the cartridge version.
 
A demo CD containing an unknown portion of the full game was also released.
