after loving the first game so much and hearing good things about its sequel, i was very very excited to play this game. unfortunately that excitement quickly dimished to disappointment throughout the few hours i beared to play the game. first of all the gameplay is majorly different. rather than being so focused on shooting, it is alot more focused on the hack and slash aspect, giving you a large move list of many button combinations, and allowing you to dodge. the grab and feed mechanics remain, but feel completely different. somehow the gameplay feels even more repetitive and monotonous than the first games, even though there is a bit more depth to the buttons you are pressing. regardless of that, the main reason i hated the time i spent on this game is because it felt completely different to the first much beyond its gameplay. this is not what i fell in love with. i had to stop playing it, and search the internet to see whether there were any games that COULD give me an experience actually similar to the first game, with a character like rayne. i found nothing.
