I much preferred New York to Detroit, and I didn't really like the first bit of this game, thought it was a bit predictable/lame and there wasn't enough backstory. Already, I'm not as eager to play through it again as I was with the first game, but I think I'm on the cusp of a big development in the story so maybe things are about to step up a notch.
I can't make my mind up if it isn't as good as the first one, or if the first one only seemed special because that genre was still very new. But either way you have to judge it on your first experience of the game and for that the first one wins (in someways...). The second one is awesome though, the voice acting is atrocious in places - hard not to laugh. The controls for the PC still feel a bit ill thought out, that's probably just me; used to playing BF3a and BC2 far too much!
The inventory thing..... jesus, I can't believe they have that. I saw that block inventory set up in the very first computer games to feature graphics, I don't want to see it in a game in 2011. That's my biggest annoyance with the game and it's a minor thing.
Other than that..... game is awesome, love the thought that has gone into the story and the paths you can choose. I also love all the background scene building that was done on youtube prelaunch (they're posted on a couple of pages back), serifindustries.com and purity first viral videos. Dunno, even though it isn't a true sandbox game it's still very open and free flowing, none of that corridor shooting CoD shite.
I've taken a break from playing it until I have a few days off. Got loads to do out in the 'real world' and can't be done sitting playing this until 4am each day
Also, I'm a big fan of Eurostile (the font) but they really have overdosed on it in this game, its ridiculous
No shit! I was waiting for BASE 02 to make an appearance!
