The funny thing is, I was waiting for this game without really realising it. I picked the original game up for the Xbox shortly after its release, just on a whim, and couldn't put it down until I'd completed it. It was a fantastic game - really immersive, great plot woven seamlessly into the gameplay, intuitive controls, beautiful atmosphere created by the setting, graphics and music. As soon as I'd finished it I wanted another one, but I wasn't sure there would ever be one because it received average reviews and didn't sell so well - it was overlooked and underrated. Ages seemed to pass, and then finally a sequel was announced. Now that's it's finally here I look back and... it's been six years!?!
So I guess, no, the wait didn't really break me. But I've been looking forward to this game so much that if I'd actually been looking at the clock, it would have. Anyway, just got it, now to play it...
