Together with the other shortcomings it meant I gave up only a couple of hours into it. The screenshots were better but the graphics suffered tearing and slow-down more than R1. And the gameplay missed something. Even though R1 was just as 'scripted' it didn't feel anywhere near as scripted at R2 did - e.g. the invisible monster bit in the forest, that you had to memorise to get through was a bit much. Overall extremely disappointed to the point where I might not even bother with R3. Crack in Time looks very good from the demo though, so I still have hope for Insomniac, but I skipped Quest For Booty since it didn't seem like value for money (tools of destruction also lacked something -- e.g. too easy for the most part).

Sure the levels were massive but the game always pushed you along a set path. The first game IMO wasn't as linear by comparison. Bring back proper split screen campaign co-op as well!!! That being said, I really enjoyed both games, and R2 multiplayer is far superior to R1.

The extreme change in story telling was also an alienating factor (lack of narration), because our protagonist, who looked like a piece of log with little to no emotion, didn't make me want to care for him at all. Leaving the story to this piece of wooden and lifeless character was a bad idea. I found R1 one tick above mediocre and R2 was never interesting so I didn’t even buy it.

The game was really good but it was jus the same as R1, there wasnt really anything new. Thats what made it kinda dull. Now i havent played the multiplayer, so i cant say anything about that but R2 definitly wasnt a disappointment, it jus wasnt anythng new. Yea, who ever said that R2 was a disappointment is wrong.

The only thing I found lacking was the absence of Vehicle gamplay. Other than that, R2 was a lot more engaging that R1 and the multiplay (co-op specifically) aspect of R2 was awesome. I don't really care for death matches or other forms of pvp. I loved R2. The only thing I found lacking was the absence of Vehicle gamplay.

It had better graphics and a more interesting story. The co-op was tons of fun, but the MP was absolute garbage. I enjoyed R2 . It had better graphics and a more interesting story.
