Mugsy's Revenge is a step forward on the also good prequel released a couple years earlier. But mainly for it's presentation, because the gameplay remains almost untouched. Graphically it's even better, with brilliant animated sequences and a few quite welcome enhancements. But the same can't be said about the plot, yes it's slightly different, a bit more exciting and fun, but in the end you're still playing the same game. To be honest, Mugsy plays better than the sequel, it's faster (no waiting for animated scenes to end), and the options are more straight forward, but since both games play similar, I usually end up choosing this over the first, mainly for it's looks.
Both games are good, decisions have to be well planned in order for you to survive, and there are some interesting twists to the game, but somewhat I always felt it should have more content than looks.
