Ya know I seem to be in the minority that preferred the first game. I absolutely loved Cole, the story overall and the twist ending. Kessler, Sasha and Alden were awesome villains. From start to finish I was very happy with the game and that final boss figh was as climactic as I could have hoped. The use of two separate yet equally great themes for the beginning and the end of the battle was pretty smart too.

The second game meanwhile kinda makes a lot of what Kessler did really stupid and pointless It also forces Cole into a crappy position where he has to screw a ton of people over no matter what he does. Also I missed his gravel voice from the first game.

EDIT:

And whoops, put this in the wrong forum... My bad.
