I'm going to start out by making a daring claim: If you liked the previous installment, you'll like this game.

However, there is one important thing you must absolutely keep in mind: Do NOT go into this game for the characters or the story. Go into it for the amazing gameplay—whether you play stealthy or action-y—or you'll be severely disappointed.

The story is extremely boring and uninnovative, and I don't think I've ever played a game with more predictable plot twists. The characters are clichéd and lack personality. Yet the level design, gameplay, and the beautiful graphics more than make up for all that in my mind.

Just don't go in wanting the game to be something it isn't and I guarantee you'll like it.
