So, a few things about Lamune 2:

This is very much for fans of the dev. It's not just Lamune. There are also several other characters that appear (i.e. from Sumire). There are pretty much 9 "joke" endings you can get which more often than not feature some kind of cameo or are generally just silly.

Other than that I'd say, even if it isn't a bad moege per se, the game design fails.
One of the gimmicks was supposed to be that each heroine has more than one route depending on your choices. Well that's true, kinda, but for the most part this is arbitrary. As in you aren't part of something that changes the heroine. It's just different. So the cheeky gamer girl is suddenly all nice an "grown up" and shit, which probably just makes you wanna puke. While the (way too) nice and gentle little sister becomes somewhat of a bitch who drops the "onii chan" and is generally not.. nice anymore. It's weird, and doesn't work.
Apart of that, this game seems also very main-heroine focused. I'm not a fan of one main-route being three times the length of another one. I still really liked Rie's main route, she's great. Coincidently she also kinda has a third route, but that branches of an imouto route off. That.. was also a weird as fuck idea. You basically have to be pro imouto first and then switch once you enter her "not so nice" route.. what the fuck.


Well, I had some fun with Rie. And, again, her first route is pretty nice in my opinion, if a bit short. Overall though the gamedesign fails, if you ask me.
For some it may be interesting to hear, that Lamune 2 is very light on ero. There's 2 scenes per girl, resulting in 3-4 typical ero cg per girl, which with only 3 heroines isn't much. The whole game features maybe 15 nsfw cg (at least naked breasts), though some "fanservice" ones here or there as well.
