This game was a complete let-down. I loved the 1st one, the explosions left and right, the crazy russian mafia, and overall the way it all ran together. But this...this was just sad. Everythings so choppy and half-assed. You have reapeted cheesy dialog, as the reveiw stated "a buttered-up PS2 game" (which is very, very true, nothing runs together and in the end there really is no set storyline like there was in the 1st one. No deck of 52, instead random blips on you map show you some bounty that one faction has put on another faction, and in the end the payment you get for the bounty doesn't pay for the 1 Mil you have to dish out to make the opposite faction happy with you again. Then to make matters worse you have dumbass civilian who won't stay on the side of the damn road instead they feel they should run across the second your speeding car is going by. I was stupid enough to pre-order in hopes of it being as good as the 1st but EA has killed it. They should have never given this the EA and kept it with LucasArts. DAMN YOU EA STICK TO SPORTS!
