CA doesn't deserve all of the blame for R2's FUBAR'd condition at release...I'm sure they had an ultimatum from SEGA to get it released when it was, or else
But for me, and plenty of other folks from what I see, they will never "get there" because to fix the major issues would require some hefty re-coding, and in all honesty, a new game engine, neither of which is going to happen.
Like I said, when R2 becomes available on disc in the bargain bin, I will consider purchasing it. Until then, I'm more than happy to continue enjoying R1 with all the fine mods available
