I got my copy last night and so far it's pretty much par for course. The animations are better for the conversations but gameplay and graphics are almost identical. If you liked the first, you'll be right at home with minor tweaks visible in combat and such.

I'm happy this was released a year after the first one. I feel like if it were any sooner I would be totally be burnt out but honestly, I was hoping for more of the same elements with a few tweaks and that's exactly what I am getting out of this game. I keep playing for a bit and rechanging my character though because I can't figure out the card based shit with how to get a certain weapon.
