I finally downloaded the demo, and it's pretty darn good.
It's still basically the same, but the interface is nicer, and it's easier to use all the skills/ weapons and whatnot.
Oh, and the thief has a garotte.....
I didn't get into C2 too much, mainly because I didn't know how to use all the weapons/skills, and it was difficult to find out how. But c3 looks much better.
