I really enjoyed it from start to finish. As for it being a girls game, I thought it was fun playing dress up, instead of all that macho crap thats constantly in games. The whole Charlies Angels feeling was fantastic.
It was a nice change for the FF series.
Plus as it was a sequel it was always gonna get some stick for not being FFX (sequels always get stick)!
For me it was an excellent game, i loved it!!
