I remember the last game was pretty bad, and the first one, well it's been so long I can barely remember the first one at all.
These sequels they do 5/10 years later always reek of desperation to me. Now admittedly I've only seen the commercials, but the gameplay looks different, the visual style has taken a different approach (lots of gold and angel wings?), and all the interesting characters were killed off (from what little of the second game I haven't suppressed).
What's left to justify this as a sequel to the franchise, a theme?
