'Ever see a game that tries too hard? I get that feeling about TS2. The new stuff is nifty, but it feels like overkill.

TS2 is a respectable sequel to the launch shooter. Graphics are better, there are many many more characters, and oodles of new weapons. The problem is they spent a little too much time figuring how much they could add rather than what they -should- add.

My major gripes are with some of the new weapons being kinda useless and the great weapons from the first game lacking the respective -suave- that made them so cool. and the character models seem much slower by comparison to the first game.

Sure the game is good, but it still costs 30.00, even now. for 10-15 more you can get the 3rd incarnation which is superior in every way....so why would you spend the money here?
