You seem to be determined to try it anyway, so go on. But I agree with the AG review rating. BS2 seemed hastily put together, and was the part of the trilogy I enjoyed the least, by far.
I would discourage Cellardoor, though, beacuse if his main gripe with BS1 was that it was "the wacky cartoon style mixed with a serious story", then BS2 is much more oddball. Characters and situations you encounter are almost random, ranging from ghosts you don't even need to interact with, to film crews in the middle of nowhere.
One thing over which I strongly disagree with the reviewer are the puzzles: he calls them "brainless", I think they were the opposite... perhaps not hard, but needlessly convoluted. I found BS1 puzzles for the most part fantastic and memorable, if on the easy side. In contrast, while playing BS2 at one point I started to keep walkthrough in handy to get it over with sooner.
