I played the first one a little more than a year ago, but never picked it up. Back then, I worked Game Stop as my second job, so I was able to check out used games. But, just so everyone knows, the workers check out the new games as well. So, when you buy the game that was the "display", may have been used by the workers. Either, way, back to the story at hand. I picked it up recently, and I got to say I love this game. It may come off as a bit lacking, but I love everything about it. If you can get the chance pick it up. And, if you buy it from Game Stop, you are able to bring it back within a week to get you money back, even if it is because you just don't like the game. Just a helpful hint if you don't know that already.
