I hardly think you can give a balanced opinion if you skip over many of the game's features by that means. You seem to want LDW to take their time bringing out VV3 then admit that you cheated to get through VV2 because you "couldn't wait". I suggest you practice what you preach.

I will agree that as a sequel it is important to retain many of the features of the original game. If it went from a top-down view to a first-person viewpoint, for example, it would be a completely new game, not a follow-up. Players who enjoyed VV1 might not feel comfortable with it.
