on a whim I pick this up year ago and enjoy it , although it be a bit easier on the difficulty-side , a little more frustrating , and much slower paced than its origin , I neglect these petty and trivial complaint at the time . unfortunately it come back to haunt I , as I feel severely underwhelm by my first few minute back in it once again . `` oh look ! its a game that could never have stand on its own without the original and actually look worse now -lrb- due to that new fangled 3d engine at the time do not age so well after window 98 era hardware -rrb- than the first freaking game . '' basically if you love the series to death - pick it up for sure . however , if you realize that the spark of ingenuity , originality , humor and atmosphere -lrb- which be all coincidentally miss from the sequel -rrb- have suddenly wander off with old age - do not bother . in fact just keep sign useless petition for another sequel that ea will never make as its not a cash-cow IP these day and never be .
