81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
New game+ offers more, but replaying it simply for the fun gameplay and cinematic cutscenes is enticing.
Combat

76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also, some of the other villain's objectives were repetitive, but honestly, because combat is so fun and addicting, it never turned into a slog.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A huge amount of textures, character models, animations, sound effects, gadgets, fonts, UI elements, and even the overall combat system feel directly carried over from the previous game.

17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Similar to City, game looks great even after all these years and sound design is just top notch, editing, voice acting, soundtrack, you name it!
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Playing this one first though is the most punishing for newbies like me as the learning curve is very steep.
