Well I loved the first game. I experienced every bug at least once, but I could never stay mad at the devs due to the shear extremeness of the abilities they gave the protagonist. Something about grappling a chopper and jump through the blades to kick the pilot out and take over controls...
Also I really liked the freedom of the sandbox. I guess it was hard to implement that much space without a bunch of loading screens (I dont recall any as I moved from island to island). I think this led to some of the bugs. Water disappeared in the ocean randomly, physics went haywire regularly (leading to the best glitches ever), and the most excruciating memory leak I have ever experienced - which was my chief complaint. Just check out the JC technical forums. It's ugly.
Ok enough rambling. JC2 should be out by christmas 2009. Here is a review I feel captures the essence of the genre. Hope it grabs you like it did me.
