I can't say anything about X-2 because I haven't played it, but I definitely still think that XIII > XIII-2.

Most people will consider XIII-2 better because Square Enix addressed a lot of the complaints regarding the linearity by having more open areas and side quests you could participate in throughout the game. I definitely still appreciate that aspect aspect of the game and enjoyed it a lot, but I really didn't mind XIII's linearity either.
