I have played the first game and was very dissapointed because it was bombastically announced and presented and it turned out to be a mediocre title in every sense. The "intriguing" story that some pre-reviews mentioned was rather boring and uninspiring, except of the dramatic ending. The gameplay was also too linear and simple for a "detective" adventure. Even the "Art of Murder" and "Chronicles of Mystery" series had more complex puzzles. Some of the locations were interesting, but they're often only a screen or two long. Typical.
This one screenshot of the sequel looks promising, though. Exotic locales are one of the things than can make me play a game that isn't much in other aspects. Shallow, I know.
