So it's a case of a game being panned by not living to its hype?

I have the first one on the 360 and I really liked it, but the negative comments of the sequel put me off buying it.

I think there's a lot of reason for it to have been panned. As pointed out, a lot of things just don't make sense and just seemed like someone with a lot of pull on the project thought it was a good idea so it was forced into the game. But then they continued great quality in other aspects like combat and music/story-telling. The story itself is weaker IMO, but the story telling is just as good.

I'm not done the game and I feel like I already know what's going to happen so if I end up being right, I'll be disappointed with the story. I picked it up for $10 and I think I'll get around 15 hours of play time out of my first play through so (and I'll sound spoiled here) maybe I'll be feeling a little ripped off. But if you get it for $5 and liked the combat of the first - there's a very fun and responsive game here for you.

So it's one of those games that are only worth getting during the sales.
