It falls short of it's predecessor in areas, but than comes right back with other great things...

Once again you play as Rios and Salem, they finally made their own "company" called "T.w.o". The graphics were ok, a lot of glitches and bugs. But a huge improvement from the first. They weren't mind blowing, but good enough. The camera has made a huge improvement as well, its not as sensitive. Now the enemies are much easier to kill since I can actually aim the crosshare at a guy. The gun selection is back and better than ever, the customization is sweet, you can upgrade your gun from the stock to the barrel. There is much to do, but once again the game is not long enough to do all these things. The story disappointed me, your in China, and you are hunting down this guy named Jonah (a terrorist who has killed a lot of people) and that's it. You just fight your way to him and there are a lot of people to kill. There is a morality system in here, like if there are hostages and you save them your moral goes up and if you don't.... you get the point. I liked the concept of it, but it really doesn't effect you in the game to much. Except if you do an option and it shows you the outcome of what happens to that person, you feel really bad for that person.
The gameplay is amazing, the options between all of those guns are awesome. They play very smoothly, unlike the first one. The cover and shoot system is okay, its still not perfected. And the AGGRO system isn't very well used in this one like the other one. The teammate system is awesome though, if your teammate gets injured, you have to clear the area, drag him to safety, and heal him. This game is not easy. If you are going to play local co-op with a friend, you have a lot of consulting to do. Another thing that disappointed me was that Rios and Salem were way to serious, ya you can play rock paper scissors while your in a elevator, but they don't have their original comedy like they did in the first one. This game is great for gameplay and explosions and graphics. But the story sadly fell short to its predecessor. You would want to rent it, its as short (or even shorter) than the first one. But much better.
