Not to turn this thread into a comparison...but to reply
A game sequel should build upon what was good (gameplay wise) and expand upon it, and possibly update the graphics. With DS2 what we have is for the most part a completely different game w/ some similiarities to its forefather.
So while DS2 is a good game, its no where near the experience that the original was -- it just looks a little better.
Theres enough threads elsewhere that expound upon what was missing or problematic in DS2 no need to rehash or list it here
