A good game on its own, but a letdown compared to the original.

I played this game right after completing the original, which was fun, especially the last two thirds of the game. This sequel doesnt live up to the original. The main reasons - repetitive gameplay and weak storyline. Then theres the memos and letters on every other step that try to be funny but fail at it. I stopped playing this game after completing a few missions, i simply had no motivation continuing unlike the original game that kept me hooked till the last seconds.
I woulda been happy if they left the gameplay as it was in the original and just updated the graphics, heck it coulda been a masterpiece game. Unfortunately this is what happens to most sequels, Deus Ex, Thief, Unreal, Hidden & Dangerous etc. all sequels were letdowns.
Another thing that i didnt like was that the levels feel small, although they are not always necessarely small.
The visuals are great and maybe even jawdropping, i couldn't believe it was lithtech engines next generation, considering the first generation wasn't anything impressive, rather dated for that time.
