I'm a quasi-fan of the first one. 4 out of 5, grading generously. I didn't particularly follow the development of it, so I didn't care about whatever features that didn't make it in, and I'm not following the development of this one, so I don't even know what features to look for. I just hope the story is a bit stronger and more fleshed-out this time around.
But this is the one game I've seen media from during this E3. The music is exceptional, which is to be expected, given the first game.
