If you loved the first one you will love this one as well!
I am a huge fan of this series and as far as I am concernd they could make the same game over and over and over in different place with different people I would buy every title.
As far as differences I have noticed very few, it seems like MAYBE the graphics are slightly better, and that\'s a big maybe. There are some really sweet new creatures to battle and the 2 bosses I have faced have been very cool. The spells are great (as in the last game) and I guess in this one you can summons? Have not gotten that fare yet but I can\'t wait.
The best thing about this game is still the 2 player option. Me and my wife played this game silly this weekend, it\'s totally rules when it comes to 2 player action!
But overall the game is much the same (to my relief, they didn\'t SCREW it up like a LOT of sequils). When it\'s not broke DON\'T FIX IT!
And I thought the other game had a decent completion time. I mean it\'s a hell of a lot longer then games like LOTR ROTK & TTT.
Anyway if you were thinking of picking this game up it\'s well worth it.
