I mean, this doesn't make me any less excited for the game, but... damn. There's so much more to this series than this kind of generic cover art implies.

It's actually excellent.
I'm only a few hours into the game and the game hasn't fully opened up yet (i.e., it's still in the "introductory" phase and I'm being led primarily along strict story missions) but so far it's an unbelievable improvement over the last game. It's weird, because the game plays almost identically to the last one and from a glance nothing's changed, but it's just so much more well-rounded and complete than the first game was.
Taking all of the repetitive missions and turning them into side quests actually solves two problems: It makes the actual campaign more varied and less redundant, and it actually gives the sandbox world a sense of purpose. I was underwhelmed by the first game but saw potential in it, and this is exactly where I was hoping they'd take it. Plus, it's got a legitimate story that's actually really good.
Like I said, I'm not too far so this is subject to change, but as of now, I'm very pleased with what I'm seeing.

Any reason there haven't been any reviews up yet? Is this simply what happens when two prolific games are released on the same day, i.e. one overshadows the other? I'm wondering because I see a lot of potential in this franchise but I'm not going to pay full price for this game if it's just going to repeat all of the mistakes the last one made. I'm basically going off GameRankings at this point and I'm too lazy to check every site I can think of, so has anyone found any legitimate reviews?
