I'll have to give it a try, I played the 1st one too and while it had great potential, I didn't find it as fun as I was hoping - fights were very tough and you had to approach them in a specific order that severely limited the "open" world. Story was very generic. Many quests were so hidden it wasn't even funny.
On the other hand, the game had a great dialogue system, great combat and in general, gameplay was stellar. Some design choices were questionable, but it was a game from a young, obscure studio, and they were still learning.
I've been playing X-com: Enemy Within and I have to say, it's been a while since I had a game that I would sit down to play just, only to realize that somehow 7 hours have passed.
