Game was awesome, played it through on hard. Not sure why this got a 51% audience review. Only thing I didn't like was finding crafting items (not sure what other choice there is though). Hopefully the AI gets even smarter on the next one. I took my time, read every note and searched every nook and cranny. Finally beat it after 33 hours, or 2 weeks.
The story was a lot more immersive. It was hard to find stopping points. Was really neat playing as both characters, seeing each view point.
Sucks the lead in the first one died, but it helped create the narrative and actually made you care a little bit more about it.
to sum - Lot of gore, violence and the graphics were stellar. Whats not to like?
