Do a search - you will find a couple of threads already. It depends on what you like - I found it so tedius and boring that I removed it from my system. If you like endless battles with no real purpose or sense, then you might like it.

it's a good game, if you liked IWD1 then you'll like number two.

Not necessarily. I liked IWD1 - quite a lot actually. However, I found IWD2 had changed some of the feel of the game (subtley) such that I found it boring and tedius. I went back and reloaded IWD1 and replayed some of it just to be sure - still found it enjoyable.

See, that's just weird... I couldn't stand IWD1 and I'm really enjoying IWD2 so far. I don't find the battles tedious like I expected (yet). There's a LOT of tactics to be used to succeed, though. Terrain bottlenecking is the most obvious... otherwise you get swarmed and die and have to reload a LOT.
