Very different beast than SOF1
Whereas SOF1 was still very much run'n'gun type of shooter at heart, SOF 2 changes the game and takes big leap towards more realistic gameplay. It's not basically power fantasy, where you just kill enemies, anymore. The game rewards much slower, more careful approach (leaning from behind corners isn't just for decoration here). And just forget about shooting full auto to targets more than 15 m from you, you'll just loose your ammo. Even Ghoul damage system is now more realistic, not so over the top for some weapons. It's definitely more difficult than SF1, but enjoyable. Just Columbia levels can be more bothersome as sometimes there's really no good cover to fire from behind and while you might not readily spot enemies in the dense jungle, they'll see you just fine and swiftly eliminate you. There are some stealth sections which aren't particularly good. Fortunately only in one of them an alarm means that you've failed your mission. Final fight with Osprey is more tedious than fun, too. Graphics is good for the game's release data and above mentioned Ghoul system works even better (although less spectacularly than in SF1). The shadows like to glitch and should be lowered down to "spot" to avoid the problem. The weapons choice is fairly wide with good selection of pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, shotguns and explosives. Fun fact: H&K MP5SD featured so prominently on the game cover isn't even available in singleplayer mode without using cheats or mods. Story is serviceable and concerns bioweapon this time. There are some sections where you're going through a small town attacked by a wirus. No action there so it's probably boring for many people, but it shows well, against what danger you're fighting and what's at stake. The one thing original CD release has and I don't think GOG version has, was the sequence playing during game installation stylized as TV news or documentary about viruses and epidemics, greatly enhancing the game atmosphere.
