Shit, I forgot to post my GRAW 2 impressions.
Single player: short, extremely easy (even on the highest difficulty), but fun. The new cross com functionality allows you flexibility in how you play the game, even letting you play it as a semi-RTS. The enemy AI still leaves a lot to be desired, but your squadmates do a much better job taking cover and setting up clean shots this time around.
Multiplayer: basically the same as the first GRAW, but expanded. More co-op missions, bigger levels, more modes, etc.
And I must say...graphically, you can tell the extra year or so of time with the 360 hardware has paid off. The first game still looks good today, but they've done some really impressive stuff that adds to the immersion in GRAW 2. Smoke no longer clips through objects, but wraps around them more realistically...different object transparencies that really improve the lighting effects...very impressive explosions...so on and so forth.
I played the hell out of the first GRAW, put it down for Rainbow Six: Vegas, and now I've put down R6:V for GRAW 2. Time will tell which of those two is better, but if you enjoy tactical shooters, it's definitely worth a look.
