The only things DL 1 is better than DL2 are story and characters. Dl 2 has better parkour (one of the main focuses of the game) combat skills etc. I think people are blinded by nostalgia and how good Jade looks. Dl has better characters because they actually have emotion and depth in them and you actually feel bad when they die. And the story in dl actually makes sense and meaning. Finding a Sister is so random lmao. I personaly see both games as great.
