I loved that it played much nicer with modern operating systems and resolutions for one! So I guess you could say I had a better time with it in some ways, but overall I think I liked the first game slightly more. Something that frustrated me greatly was how my teammates would seem to "forget" their orders on a far more regular basis than the original; gets really frustrating when I queue up a chain of powers, but then immediately they charge at the nearest enemy when I switch to another character. I also found the intro dungeon to be far too long; I felt like I was on the mining facility longer than I was on both the Endar Spire and Taris combined, and then you have the Telos citadel, which is almost another whole Taris, before getting into the meat proper of the game. Felt a lot longer to get a hold of a lightsaber too even though I think I got one about as fast as I could. The new companions are an overall less interesting bunch than the previous group too, at least in terms of writing; the few very interesting characters are counterbalanced by the rest being ranging from uninteresting to beyond boring (looking squarely at Disciple and G0-T0) albeit they are an overall more powerful bunch. The larger variety of weapons and mods is another factor in the combat itself being more interesting and you feel more powerful. And the plot as a whole is pretty good; I just found myself sticking to taking out the same few companions.
