Since I loved the first one so much I've got it pre-ordered. I don't see 7.5 as being particularly discouraging. IGN gave it a 9, Eurogamer gave it an 8. Giantbomb is likely to give it 5 stars based on what they were saying a few weeks ago (from their exposure to it).
Anything below a 7 from gamespot usually gives me enough pause to do more research.
Just one site, its been getting excellent reviews.
True I'm still going to buy when I can get it cheap. 
^Nothing wrong with that.
I wouldn't be turned away from one review if I liked the first one. Speaking of that, the first is downloading right now.

Hey, I'm downloading it too!
Get off my internets! 
Lark Anderson?
I think it will be a nice enough game to get once it gets to the platinum range

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

McShea, Tom.
He seems allright from what I have seen. But I aint seen a lot.
Yeah, he's fine. Decent writer, good gamer. He gave the original a nine, faulted this one for not being different enough.
My philosophy on sequels for games I like is "more of the same please" but for some they like to see changes.
No wonder Yakuza is your favourite series!
I hope you get to 2 and 4, you'll find just how exactly they repeat certain aspects.
Mrs. Aspro finish 4 this weekend, it cements my opinion that 4 is the best one yet.

You mean they start repeating the story and not just the entire game design?!
You'll see.
7.5 wow That is pretty low for such an important title. I'm a bit surprised. I will have to play the demo some and not be buying on day 1`
