You're still only guessing. At least wait until more details emerge before writing this game off.
Well, you're right. I guess I'm guessing (^_^) indeed, but not just for the heck of it. Just read the press release:
- (...)in this humorous adventure that blends bare-knuckle brawling and hard-driving action. They don't finish saying "and puzzles" or something like that.
- players engage rough and tumble rivals in brutal high speed motorcycle combat as well as tough bar room brawls. Same here.
- (...)Ben sets out with his gang on an action-packed adventure to set things straight. Using their own brand of double-fisted diplomacy, they pursue a rival gang(...)
- In Full Throttle: Hell On Wheels, players use fists, wits, weapons and wheelie-popping motorcycle action to guide Ben through a series of adventures, puzzles and melee style combat. In addition to steel-toed biker boots, Ben fights his foes with more than 40 different strategically placed weapons including: chairs, bottles, pool cues, chains, crowbars and even a guitar. To regain his health after an exceptionally harsh scrap, Ben throws back a beer or two and has a good laugh with his gang.
. One mention to "wits" and "puzzles", the rest refers to the action parts.
- The game offers more than 35 different levels in 20 unique(...). Levels?

They didn't do that with Monkey Island 4, why would they do that with Full Throttle 2?
Cuz they've done it already:
(...) Ben, this all-new adventure-action careens through (...)

Ye have little faith. I think its gonna kick ass just like the first one did. :D
Yeah, it's gonna kick ass, cuz it's gonna be about ass kicking 
Let me put things straight: I saw the images, I read the press release and it was clear that FT2 wasn't gonna be a graphic adventure like the first one. So I got angry and I posted it, angry as I was. I know it perhaps turns out to be a good game, I don't have much faith on it, but that's just guessing indeed, so that's not the problem. What makes me angry is just that they turned FT from a graphic adv. with some action (bike fighting, specially) and intense rythm, into an action game with more or less puzzles, just because it'll sell better than a simple graphic adv.
PS: For no reason, just because every post of mine in this thread has it:  :p
