If you loved the characters in the 1st, specifically Joel and Ellie's adventure, you will probably dislike this game. The graphics and mechanics are astounding, I give Naughty Dog props here. This is a Naughty Dog game though and the story is what really makes or breaks their game. This story falls flat for me. They try to get you to relate to Joel's killer by forcing you to play as her for half of the game. She is just a terrible person though lol! She almost slits the throat of a pregnant woman and also has intercourse with her pregnant friend's significant other. Ellie is hell bent on revenge. She ends up losing everything in the end and let's Abby go...Overall 4/5 for graphics and mechanics, but drops to 2/5 due to being a pretty dull story to follow-up the 1st game.
