Conclusion
Considering that the governor of the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua gave a general order last month to seize all copies of GRAW 2, stating that it instills poor values and depicts his people as being overly violent, you can guess that at least one segment of the populace isn’t crazy about the game, even if they’ve never played it. Considering that you spend a lot of time shooting Spanish-speaking soldiers and that Juarez really gets the stuffing pounded out of it, I can understand his reaction to a point.
Still, it’s not bad. Just don’t buy it for the single-player gaming — the campaign is over too quickly. I would have to say that while it is worth owning, it’s not worth full retail price. I recommend it heartily, but I can’t see parting with $60 USD for it.
By the way, don’t do what I did, which is trade in your copy of the first GRAW for this one.

- Single-player campaign is criminally short
- Overused storyline and horribly cheeseball voice acting in cutscenes
