Finished it too.
Played on normal and waaaaay to easy compared to the first, agree with Matt, not as spectacular as the first, just an extension of the story and a fill in episode to the bigger story that will eventually unfold.

I think this game was fairly doomed to be judged in that way from day one.
The best thing about the first one was the amazing level design and setting and the new story.
None of that was new in the second game and never could be.
I dont know the story from the 2nd as i havent played it but it would be good if they could somehow take it to a new location to try something new.
