As a single player game this is cool. The fact that you can upgrade weapons to suit your needs is especially cool. However as a multiplayer it totally rocks. The fact that two players can accomplish so much more is awesome. Also the fact that unlike the first one if someone ends up being a kill hog or a money hog it doesn't punish the other player at all because EXP is now split 50/50 and all gold goes into one account. This makes the multiplayer less frustrating and more fun. Also the game is longer than the first which makes for more points to unlock really fun abilities. Last but not least all 5 characters have abilities that can be unlocked via a character specific side quest.
