Banned Footage Vol. 2 offers a high-quality storyline Daughters, but otherwise it's a strictly arcade experience. It can be entertaining, but it's certainly not for everyone.

Whilst the videos included in Vol.2 once more offer decent content, they don’t quite compare to the first content drop in the Banned Footage Vol.1 DLC. It’s also worth noting that even though both DLCs are available as part of the Season Pass, those buying them separately will find a £4 price increase for this one. Given the slightly lacking quality...
Banned Footage Vol. 2 is just as experimental as it is optional. Although Daughters gives some much-needed context to the game's backstory, nothing here is a must-see.
Banned Footage Vol. 2 is a mixed assortment of intriguing ideas that don't pan out or leave lasting impressions. With less depth and replay value to boot, it's harder to recommend in light of its puzzling price of entry.
For the price of $14.99, I do believe that Capcom did justice to this batch of DLC. The varying game modes and the rewards that each present is well worth it to keep coming back to. I can say that these are memorable enough that I would tell my friends about it and let them know how enjoyable they are to me.
