I beat the main story last weekend and got the platinum trophy today.
My overall thoughts is that the gameplay is very good and a massive improvement over the first in every way. The only major problem I had is that the driving physics still suck ass and need serious reworking.
The story was a bit of a let down, without spoiling it, I found it to be a pretty lazy retread of the first game.
The grind to get the platinum was fucking gruelling and honestly sours my opinion of it a bit. Getting 5 stars with all the facilities was made way more time consuming than it needed to be and it drove me to the brink of insanity.
After that, I'm gonna put the game to bed for a good, long, time. I suspect it'll be several years till I give it another replay. Even if it is my GOTY so far
