Currently on Act 4 Stronghold and I think I might have already had my fill of this game. I have not enjoyed this one half as much as the first game. As some have already mentioned the level design is often a big issue; I keep thinking maybe the next level will be better only to find myself disappointed again with another wide open design dense with mobs of gun toting dudes. I also rarely find myself hitting the fun momentum of the first game where you could rush from room to room taking out each enemy in succession. Too often it seems HM2 involves it's either waiting on patrols or camping out in corners and pulling crowds to ambush them---neither of which I find is a very thrilling way to play HM. I don't care for the length of some of these levels either. I don't remember so many 3 or 4 part stage levels in the first one. It makes it difficult to quit when you want because then you have to replay the entire long stage. Overall, I just am not feeling this one like I did the original (story included). At least the music is still enjoyable. And playing as Alex and Ash is actually kind of fun and unique when not bugged out. I just wish could pick my mask so I could play as them more often.
