Can I say first that it's an amazing game. For anyone whose played the first game I strongly suggest you play this one! The graphics, music, and gameplay is even better than first. The beginning of the game sucked me right in and the plot was truly breathtaking. The characters are deep and vivid, they honestly seem too real. Your enemies show the damages you caused from the first game, a detail I wish they use on all sequel games. You have your old weapons and some awesome new ones too. I recommend this game for lovers of the first game and hardcore gamers.
I never actually played the first game(nor have i even heard of it) but i see that game many times free to rent in the videocub. Do you suggest that i rent it even if i haven't played the first game?
I think you're better off playing the first one or you wouldn't get everyrhing they are talking about, but other than that, yeah I'd still suggest it if you are into horror/suspense genre games.
