Code Geass R2 is sitting pretty on myanimelist with a score of 9.00. The real question is, does it deserve this score? Sort of kinda maybe but not really.

Story 7/10
The first season had a great story which I really enjoyed, but Code Geass R2's story got so ridiculous at some points (such as that entire Sword of Akasha episode) that I couldn't help myself from laughing. They decided to throw in tons of random characters that are very very skilled at fighting among other things assuming that no one would question why the fuck they weren't helping Japan against the Black Knights in Season 1. They topped this clusterfuck of a story off with probably the greatest and most satisfying end to an anime in existence, so that's nice.

Art 8/10
Besides the triangle faces the art style is pretty basic and smooth

Sound 9/10
This show definitely has some good voice actors, that's including the dub Lelouch. His evil laugh gave me some serious chills.

Enjoyment 9/10
Here is where the clusterfuck of a story is redeemed, the enjoyment factor of this show is strictly a "dumb fun" type enjoyment, where as long as you turn your brain off completely, you should be fine. While "dumb fun" enjoyment isn't as fulfilling and memorable as the enjoyment you'll get from storytelling masterpieces like Madoka Magica and Death Note, it's still fun in the end.

Overall 8/10

I feel like they tried too hard to appeal to the masses after the success of season 1, but it's a good 25 episodes nonetheless, and the ending will always be one of my favorites.
