I'm on my second time through the game, and its even better this time. Aside from the lame "final boss," DS2 kicks some major ass. The atmosphere is just as good or better than the first one, although nothing can really recreate the feeling of fighting your way through the Ishimura on the first one. Nonetheless, the game has new weapons (some suck, some are welcome additions- decide for yourself) and the great addition of all kinds of new suits. On your second playthrough, you'll find that the elite suits are available for a another whole game worth of new suits to unlock.
Once again, Isaac's sanity is questionable- whether the marker is causing it or he's just perma-fried is left up to the player, adding the token ambiguity to the plot which makes the story horror movie worthy. The necromorphs haven't changed much, with only a few additions, some of which are creepy baby and children variants. Yes, you kill freakish child and baby monsters. I can't say much more about it without spoiling the game for those who haven't had the pleasure of playing it themselves, but it is safe to say that this game is worth the next 60 bucks you choose to blow on a video game.
