It scored lower than the original. It has more graphical glitches than the original(due to the rush job) Is this grounds for an official flop?

You and twopistols are one and the same, neh?

Should have realized that, seeing as both end with '3k'.

Actually, it scored lower because it was a sequel. Imagine that this was the first Gears, and you would see a much high score. Also, it had more graphical glitches? Whenever I play it, I notice the glitches to be a lot less than the first one, and even with the low res texture, they seem to disappear a lot faster than they did in the first one.

No, I think it had the best single player campaign experience I've played this year. It had a great story and I felt sad as the story continued. I would say though, I'm not feeling the mulitplayer as much as I did first time around but I'll get back to it once I'm finished with Left 4 Dead.

It met AAA hype, therefore it isn't a flop. Comparing it's score to that of the original Gears is useless, since standard's and GS's scoring system have changed in the mean time.

sequals should also offer major improvement, specially going to from 1 to 2. Its clear that geow2 is nothing but an expansion pack at full price.

It's a solid 8.5 IMO so it surpasses Gears of War which I gave an 8.0. It's not my favorite game out there but it's still good.

if you understand how things work it was the second one that got the higher score, the first one IMO was a 7.5 game that somehow magically got a 9.5

Well you must have thought that you blinked, but you actually fell asleep. lol. It wasn't that long, maybe they should have added 4 hours of cutscenes like MGS4 to make it seem longer.

Heh, when I played Gears 1, the day it came out, it litteraly blew me away. The graphics, action, gameplay everything! Easy 9.5. Now Gears 2 bring even more awesomeness to the series and easily triumphs over Gears 1 in every way, but standards have changed, and Gears 2 had alot more competition this time. Also, it's a sequel which doesn't change the formula too much. All sequels usually score lower then their predeccessors.

Better campaign, more on screen enemies, more weapons, new characters, stronger story, new multiplayer modes. Only thing it didn't show improvement on was the matchmaking system.
