Picked this game up today, played it for a while. I'm not that far, but I'll give my first impressions. I'm finding it too much like just any other FPS. It doesn't have the bodies strewn about with blood spattering the walls, or if it does I've missed them. I'm hoping that later on it will be more like that. It's less dark and grungy overall, which means it doesn't have quite the same atmosphere as the first one and it seems overall worse. It's not bad, but seems less epic than the first. It may improve, I guess we'll see.
