Never heard of that website before, are you sure you aren't playing right into their intends and they (he or she) are/is mainly trying to attract as many hits as possible from fanboys?
This from a guy who loved the first one...he points out what I saw in the video MikeB linked: linearity and meh gameplay with bullets flying that don't seem to make a difference. But it sure is "purdy" and that's all that matters to "some fanboys"...
