Actually, it was a pretty poor game, the gameplay was simplified as far as it could, they did things like one type of ammo for every weapon, from pistols to flamethrowers to "appeal to console gamers" (not like it was necessary for them to enjoy, I believe it's quite the opposite), the engine optimization simply doesn't exist on PC version [it was a pain to play it on a fairly new PC], and it doesn't even compensate with a good quality - e.g. the maps are incredibly small, claustrophobic (comparing to huge open spaces in DE1). Voice acting sounds terrible, stiff. The dialogues are bad-written, you're listening to characters and you're not interested to hear whatever they've got to say. The story is weak, and what they did with DE1 ending is near blasphemy.
It had some good points, but all of them were included in DE1, and even better executed there.
That's why I hate this game.
....nah, I hate it because it's different.
