Looks and sounds good. Hope it doesn't disappoint.
Overall I liked the last game, but it does really get repetitive. Especially if you try to play ti through a second time to get all of the achievements. I just couldn't make it the second time through.

Yeah, about half way through the first play through I was very tired, but the story kept me there.
