What stands out the most about that game for me is the insane difficulty spike with the final boss. I found the majority of the game to be fun, but not especially challenging... until I got to the last boss, which just *destroyed* me. Like, I remember thinking the programmers must have made some mistake to put such a difficult boss in the game. I think even after I entered the unlimited life cheat, it took me a good long while to take it down.
It is something of a last minute wall, especially because rest of the game definitely doesn't put up much of a fight. The biggest issue is just how much health the boss has.
Beliar wasn't too much of a problem for me. I went in to the fight with 2 grenades and a rocket, and there are more in the room, and if you just unload everything you have on him immediately (can't let him grow too much or he just soaks up damage), plus a blood rage if you can, you can kill him pretty quick. I finished him off right after he grew a second time.
Wulf was more troublesome, but like Popo said, its all about using the blood rage. What I ended up doing was using gunfire to keep him in place until I could approach, then using the vision mode that lets you slow time (I can't remember what the game calls it specifically, but down on the dpad) to get in and wail on him with melee attacks. The damage you do is pathetic, but the real goal is building up the blood rage meter, then you can really hurt him.
It takes a long ass time because he has such a ridiculous amount of health, and he's so fast that he can break away and you have to set up again, but it is a safe method that works.

The first game you're a wolf among sheep, whereas in the second game it turns out that every punk on the streets is a kung fu master.
That's unfortunate. I was hoping the extra stuff would give it a bit more depth, but losing that sense of power is going to be a bummer. Sounds like they needed to find a middle ground.
