I was going to get a refund....

After reading the general negativity surrounding the game and the many 'issues' which people were complaining about, I was convinced I wouldn't like the game and I'd simply refund it. However, three hours later, I'm actually enjoying it! Yes, it's different from the first game and stealth isn't really that much of a viable option (due to the OP AI). The story is intriguing (read the collectibles!) and I really like the setting for the game, probably just as much as I like the setting in the first game. Also it looks great and runs excellently on my PC.
