Particular 2 is a very "hands on" plug-in, meaning that the more you practice with it, the more powerful it becomes as a tool. If you are interested in creating high-end particle effects seen in big budget title sequences, commercials, and action films, in my opinion, there is simply no better particle generator out on the market.
As a primer for this plugin I recommend checking out this great tutorial from Jerzy Drozda Jr.
