i have to say i was already very satisfied with the gameplay of the first. i don't know if i would even like it if they changed that too much. (same goes for the music. as far as i could tell, a lot of other people loved it as well - don't change this running system...)
the three things i'd like to see improved:
first of all the in game graphics - even though they were great in terms of art style, there simply were aspects that didn't make it look like an AAA game (like e.g. the hair on enemies). and if it doesn't look like an AAA game, you can hardly expect it to sell like one.
secondly, the quality of the cutscenes would have to be improved quite a bit (once again with the difference between i guess AA and AAA...). i loved it that they had non-realtime cutscenes and i also liked the idea of using 2d animation for them but the character design looked inconsistent and the character animations just didn't seem right sometimes. (and just for the record - i did like the story)
and at last there's length/replayability. yes, i played the trial mode for dozens of hours but i think most people still focus just on the story mode. also, getting an achievement for completing the story mode without using weapons is neat but it would be even better if you could unlock stuff for the game. like e.g. a special bonus level if you finish the story mode on hard without using weapons. or a fancy special weapon with unlimited ammo. or at least another costume. or, or, or... actually, they should throw in a dozen of such unlockables. at least in my opinion that's more motivating than achievements.
