To this day people haven't managed to catalogue all of the extra Stage X zones, since you can literally skip large chunks of the story if you play extremely well (like stopping Jennifer from being infected by the Boreworm)
2 isn't a bad game, it's not what I was trying to get across, but it definitely feels like it's just iterating a little on 1 and little else. And that was always a losing proposition, because the arcade hardware is much superior and they were probably a little concerned with how far they could push the envelope in a home console when the arcade scene was pretty much lawless at the time SH1 came out
