Amazing game and it really evolved since the first game. The staff did a really good job with the graphics and taking what everyone liked about the first one and expanding in it while adding new mechanics to it. Story is well written, and my wife really loves this series. It's the only game series she's really been drawn to.
The characters are easily relatable to, and between them and the story it gives a realistic view of what would happen, instead of a far fetched Disney aspect, where it is always happy ever after.
