I read a review that said the second Bioshock was good but not as good as the first or as shockingly innovative.  Seems to be a fair review unlike the fanboy adoration of ME2 which is a very good game but story wise not as good as the first but has better gameplay mechanics.

I just hope Arkham Asylum 2 is as good as the first but sequels are almost never better than the first except in the case of Empire Strikes Back.

Dont spoil the end of ME2 for me, because I'm not done. But I believe the narrative focus for ME2 was more about your squad and their individual stories. While the overarching plot may be somewhat derivative, the characters are much stronger, the player interaction in the story is much better, and there is much more emotional range.
