ST bought me an early release, been playing since day one, (about three weeks or more) and it looks good, but it does not surpass the original.
In fact, it doesn't even come close, still it was fun, but it's replay value fell off dramatically the third time I played it through.
One thing very disappointing is that you don't get a favorite weapon, in the first game you would usually either get real good pistols, or maybe an SMG, the gun would usually be stronger than the rest of your arsenal, one you could always depend on to get you out of tight spots.
Now, in the new game there is no one weapon in particular that stands out, every weapon is pretty much the same, you constantly have to reselect from your inventory to fight different enemies, assorted enemies that come in groups, so it's not like you can get right in the middle and fight them all since they all have differing strengths of resistance, you have to stay back and pick off bots with your sniper rifle, then move in closer to deal with other enemies with an SMG.

All in all, the game is OK, but by comparison to the original, it was a huge disappointment.
I can only hope the addons will make for a better game, because this one failed out of the gate.
