If you like Magic: The Gathering and Heroes of Might and Magic, then you should get a kick out of this—if you're willing to devote serious time to an occasional, nonsensically difficult battle. Since the graphics are virtually unchanged, you won't need a beefy system, but as such, it doesn't feel like a sequel so much like a really big expansion pack that's eliminated some tedious micromanagement. If you're new to the series, however, and dig turn-based strategy, then this is a good title to grab. The variety and depth offered by the card game aspect ensures that combat won't get old, and hopefully Nival will consider toning down the regeneration saving throw.
