>Convince me to play it.
If you liked MP1 you will probably like MP2 as well. It's a very good game and there are few similar games desu. Planet exploration with constantly changing upgrades that change the gameplay.
Exploration is better in MP1 and most of the world is far comfier than MP2. The latter is more of a horror survival shooter for teenagers. So a lot feels more difficult and dangerous, at least when playing it the first time up to half of the game. Every door in the dark world could offer difficult enemies, and you might fuck up by not seeing properly where to go, so you might die by falling in a mud pool, etc. Choosing where to go next if there were multiple options was a tight choice for me. In retrospective I found MP1 usually more difficult than MP2, which felt more balanced. In general a lot has been updated, the levels, the worlds, the bosses, it feels more like a 3D Zelda game from that era with clearly distinct bosses and subbosses. Im MP1 the bosses often felt like normal, albeit unusual enemies and had no built-up.
The movement is very fun, especially the screw attack and the ball jumping on rails. I'm surprised that similar concepts/plagiats are rare in other 3D games where you move your character directly.
It's also one of the best Nintendo games from that era. I'm not very fond of the styles that have become dominant during the Wii/Wii U/Switch era but that's subjective I guess.
I liked the gamecube controls a lot, btw, it never bothered me. Most enemies have behaviours, that create few problems with the lack of quick turns.

Odd question, are there any WADS with a Ringworld sort of aesthetic?

Not Gaylo per se, more like Niven Ringworld. Yes, I know they're basically the same thing.
