Suprisingly much better than the first! :-D

Gameplay: to me, this is the most important category. basically, how fun is it to play this game? its good, its fun. :-) i'm truly impressed that it fixed all the things i didnt like about the first game (besides the crappy graphics, lol). been a minute since i played the first, but this one seems to have alot more RPG elements to it. the mechanics of the gameplay are the same obviously, and i think we have more options this time in setting you AI teammates' actions. no more boring X mansion to walk around, and it seems like much quicker loading times in this game too. new chars and good story of course keep u locked into the game. Graphics: well, the environment looks good, and the few long cutscenes the game offers, (less than a handful) look spectacular, but the cell shaded graphics in the short cutscenes and general gameplay look like crap to me. u get used to it though, and the good looks of the environment make up for it. Sound: nothing spectacular here, but it matches the action and keeps you interested

Value: havent even completed the story mode to see what other gameplay options are available, lol, but seems to have good lasting value thus far.
