A carefully crafted story that manages to go where video game sequels often fail to go, which is to being just as meaningful as the first part in the series. Act 2 is a hit or miss, and your enjoyment will depend on how you feel about the characters, one of whom is a hardened queue-jumper. Roughly 10 hours out of my 32 hour playthrough were spent hugging the walls scouring for ammo and the game's various useless collectibles.
