"As good" is a weird way to call it but if it floats your boat, keeping the shaders and lighting simple and disabling screen-space effects such as AO/Contact Shadows and so forth could manage a pretty close look. Maybe a bit of post would be necessary to get it exactly right though, but that could also be done in real time.

The fact that it's old and you remember it.
Some feel the need to call that combination "soul" for some reason

If you mean that levels in the second game aren't as basic, then yes.

I love both of the games but the first game is very boring to replay. The stages are pretty but they don't really have much going on.
Most of the stages just go with "realism" and "nature" as a theme.

The second game still has that photo realistic art style but takes it to the extreme, and every stage has something unique going for it that makes it fun and memorable.
The visuals are great, the level design is great, the music is great, and it even gives an actual reason to complete the bonus stages.

Its considered better not because the first game is "worse", but because the first game set the table for something that was so much better.

Seeing the real ending is one of the most satisfying experiences I have ever experienced in a video game. (And is the main reason I hate the cop out comic relief ending in DKC3 but thats another can of worms.)
