Looks like my review was removed as one of the butt hurt people took exception to being called butt hurt. So I'll post it again.
**Slight Spoilers**
If you loved the first game then you'll love this one.
Flicking through the reviews most of the 1 star review people here are butt hurt that Joel dies early on. If Joel doesn't die then there is no story, Joel dying adds more to ellies character than ever before. The story is solid, the character development is darker and better than the first game. The graphics are great. You're introduced to new characters that you become attached to.
This is the best game in this generation of consoles. And they've left it open for a new game on the next gen. I would highly recommend.
My original review was better but that was a lot of effort.
