A tad bit over hyped I thought. Definitely an improvement over the first one though...and I did play it 5 times in a row.
Graphics = Awesome
Gameplay = Fun
Story / Voice acting = Awesome
But at the end of the game, I didn't feel the sense of epicness that I felt after beating MGS4 or God of War II. In those games, I felt that I had gone on a long epic journey....while U2 felt...like an action movie....I don't know what I'm saying either but it wasn't "OMGWTFBBQ this game is one of the best games of all time !"
