I had played thru the first game and when I found out that there would be a second game, I was overjoyed. But I can say that after finishing the game, I was unprepared for the rollercoaster of emotions that this game took me on. This is one of the few games that has made me cry. But even so, I still love every aspect of the game. If you are looking to buy the game I would more then recommend that you give the game a shot. Though you might want to play the first one in order to understand some content from this game.
