You can tell they wanted this game to mainly be about melee, as you drain easy and the powers are weaker...
In the last few chapters of the game everything takes a turn for the, um, weird? All these twists and turns. In this game, Cole is a little brighter and seems a little more friendly towards people, not like the first. At first when I saw the new Cole, I thought, " This is such a fail! ", but as you play it, Cole grows on you. And the city is just crowded with Ice monsters and huge bugs, it is a little annoying sometimes, like an oversweetned piece of candy...
Overall: Powers could of been better, melee was impressive but with an annoying camera, and some great twists at the end, a game worth getting! Not as good as the first though, 8/10
