Ambitious sequel that reaches far greater narrative heights at the expense of gameplay:
+ intriguing large-scale story divided into four distinct parts and told from different, often opposed perspectives
+ brilliant closure to old plot threads along with purposeful new ones
+ solid graphics enhanced by brisk animations
+ several great cutscenes (aside from the iffy voice acting)
- varied but often poorly designed maps with an overabundance of NPCs
- diminished support system lacking proper conversations
- minimal appearances for most of the cast
- generally high and erratic difficulty that switches drastically without warning
