Short Answer YES . The story isn ' t deep but it ' s there , The gameplay is fluid and fun and there are cool things to hunt for around the levels . There ' s now also an arcade challenge mode which adds to the replay value of the campaign . <| sep |> Never saw the first , and still not interested in doing so . Another lesson for the sequel machine that not everything should be . Time has passed , attitudes have changed , audiences are more film educated , less shockable , more cynical . Maybe the idea didn ' t evolve to match or was just rubbish in the first place . Regardless , reviews won ' t drive anything , except conversations . Profits will determine if this property ever graces cinema screens again . <| sep |> Last I heard , the release date is July 28 th
