Cool. I guess I'll save the end for tomorrow. My wife will be getting off work soon and we've got stuff to do.
So far I'm really enjoying it. Mechanically it's waaay tighter and smarter than the first, alot of improvements have been made to the combat. I do think Ken levine added a definite degree of artistic direction to the first one that is lacking in this one though. Rapture isn't exploding with personality and doesn't feel alive like in the first one. It feels largely like a bunch of greenish corridors punctuated by a big open room that is still kind of dark and greenish. In the first one, rapture felt like a real place that was lived in, in this one it just feels like level design to accentuate the greatly improved combat.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it's my game of the year, but I am definitely enjoying it thoroughly. It's an assload of fun. I think I'll mess around with the multiplayer for a bit until my wife gets home, and then beat it tomorrow.
