So, the first one is my favorite game of all time. Loved it. This game could not probably meet my expectations from the start, so that is my caveat.

The second is good, not great. The graphics, control, world, dinos, voice acting and story are all great. The massive learning curve and deviance from the first gameplay on weapons and such is HORRIBLE. Like, in game 1, the spear was awesome. Get close, stealth strike, kill/massive damage. This game, spear, nothing, like, you can't one-shot the lowest level dino from stealth until end-game. Don't get me started on the WWE type melee combos you have to do in some scenarios - just totally stupid. They could have added 20% of the neew mechanics and it would have been sweet.

That was more of a rant than I expected, sorry. Fun game, worth playing, but disappointing overall.

That's very surprising. I already felt like the spear was difficult to use in most fights outside of stealth kills and unusable in most major fights with large machines.
