I got gears of war 2 and it was amazing i beat the campaign, of course i am playing multiplayer/horde i also got resistance 2 and i started 2 play that, but it just feels so boring, i dont feel compelled to complete objectives at all()multiplayer and co-op are awesome) now my question is....is it because i really liked gears of is the resistance campaign not that gr8?

Gears of War 2 campaign, not afraid to say but a few times it really got to me...I felt something for these characters at times.

R2 I don't know but it has a weak story so that is fail.

I can't really comment because my 360 got RRoD when I was halfway through act 3. I finished R2 the day it came out and I liked it. I am running through again to get some trophies because that is really all I have to do since now I can't play Fable 2, Fallout 3, or Gears 2 for 3-5 weeks unless I go to my brother's.

Gears 2...for me anyway

Some of the voice work was spot on this time...having the main character(s) show some emotion for once was refreshing and a few key points in the campaign really got to me (those who played it know what Imtalking about right? ;))

on the whole the stroy was creative if confusing....it was..hell Ill just say it: BIGER BETTER AND MORE BADASS!! 

Certainly leaps and bounds ahead of Gears 1...though the ending boss was aliitle let down: good concept...mediocre execution.

I had my eyes closed when I voted in the poll but I have a strong feeling I voted for Gears of War 2 for having the better campaign, multiplayer, and the better game.

While Gears 2 was a great experience, I am kinda upset that it only took one day to beat like Gears 1. It was supposed to be a longer game, and it wasn't. It actually seemed shorter. I haven't beat R2 yet, but so far, Gears campaign is more fun. R2 is much longer though so I have more to play. I'm at a point in R2 where it is getting really good so, I'll make another judgement after I beat it. I'm also going to play gears on Insane in coop with a friend on Friday. I'll see how long it takes us to beat it.

thats not true, even reviewers said that Resistance 2 single player is boring. It makes up for it with a great multiplayer.

I just beat R2 last night and thought the story was just ok, but the actual gameplay was great, the game was pretty difficult/challenging even on the normal setting, you would have to fight these giant chimeras that shoot you with cannons pretty much, sometimes you would have to face 2-3 of them at a time and then have these crazy "I am Legend" type chimeras running at you in the dozens at full speed, plus other boss fight(some were pretty easy though), there were however the lame cheap shots you get from enemies every once and awhile.

1- How is that funny? Gears of War 2 has a great campaign

2- Shouldn't you actually play the game first before you make a comment on it? you know on the 360 that you own.

Does everybody bite at PS_John troll bait??? anyways, Gears core gameplay is better, but I HATE the Gears story, or lack thereof. R2 isnt exactly a theatrical materpiece, but Gears story is basically non-existent

Just beat R2's campaign last night and I really liked it. [spoiler] It kinda shocked me that Daedalus was actually Jordan Shepard from the first game. [/spoiler] The only part of the campaign I didn't like was the [spoiler] Cliffhanger [/spoiler] ending. All in all it was a pretty good campaign, you had to think strategically about which weapon to bring with you and how to defeat the enemy. I don't have a 360 but I'm sure that Gears 2's campaign was better than it's first.

P.S. R2's boss battles are freakin awesome!

Gears 2 is freakin awesome and I didnt even like the first one. Then again R2 is also kickin ass so far and I didnt like the first one that much either.

Either way both sides are pretty ignorant for joking on each other knowing most of you have only played one of the 2 games in question.

I cant even make my decision just yet, but I will say this. ITS A MATTER OF PREFERENCE! Both games have their ups and downs and they are equal in quality.

Gears 2? The game was six hours long, and 25% was a railgun shooter! It was exactly like the first one, but with 2 new weapons I believe. It didn't even have a story. Dom's whole wife arc was ridiculous because he doesn't even try to help her when he finally finds her. Shes just a plot device (aka the MacGuffin) But, I haven't played Resistance 2 yet. So judging by the votes here (Who I assume haven't actually played both...) Resistance 2's campaign must be uber crap t be worse then Gears 2. Maybe were comparing s**t with s**t here.

It's true to say that the Gears 2 story kicks Resistance 2's butt, but in terms of gameplay I'd say Resistance 2. I found myself forced to sniping too much on Gears 2 on the higher difficulties, whereas Resistance 2 forces you to mix it up a little bit more. I know, it's obviously debatable, but even the Gamespot review said you'd find yourself using all of the weapons in Resistance 2.

Some of the mechanics in Gears 2 rocked (meat shield, executions etc) but I found that Ionly really found myself using them on the multiplayer. Despite this, I did get to use the mortar a fair amoun, and boy did it rock.

Resistance 2 came out almost a week before Gears 2. And you have no explanation as to why R2 will be better. You and your opinion wreaks of FAIL.

They were close, but R2's ending is what pushed it ahead of Gears 2 IMO. The last boss fights were both too easy though.

Also I think Epic messed up when they decided to put in all the vehicle portions in the game. It was a drag and the controls weren't good except for the last level. I also hated that part where you had to use the turrets to protect the AVs.

Look at the reviews on gamespot and IGN, the 2 most reputable reviewers out there...

Way better? Both games are pretty much the same, nuff said.

Gears 2, no doubt. Atleast the characters have their own "thing". They feel humanized. But in Resistance 2, everyone is no one. They never make you feel for any of them, because they never humanize them. By the end of R2, I didn't care what happened to Hale (won't spoil it), but I just didn't care. He was such a boring character. And the environments in G2 are much more epic and grand in their atmosphere. Only the very first level is more of the same.

I only have Gears 2 at the moment so I won't vote. So far it's better than the first in every way, I'd also give it 9 compared to the 8 I would give the first game. But truth be told, I've been anticipating Resistance 2 a lot more and I'll probably prefer it to Gears 2.

I really had a hard time getting into R2. I felt no connection with the character and gameplay-wise it felt too much like a COD game with aliens. I liked the weapons, but fighting the enemies proved to be more frustrating than fun. I think the game would have benefitted from some kind of cover system. And I HATE the multiplayer interface. It couldn't be more unintuitive. I really wanted to like the game but It just couldn't stick with me. I kept going back to Gears and Fallout 3.

Gears of War 2's Maria had more personality than any and every character in Resistance 2.

Gears 2...for me anyway

Some of the voice work was spot on this time...having the main character(s) show some emotion for once was refreshing and a few key points in the campaign really got to me (those who played it know what Imtalking about right? ;))

on the whole the stroy was creative if confusing....it was..hell Ill just say it: BIGER BETTER AND MORE BADASS!! 

Certainly leaps and bounds ahead of Gears 1...though the ending boss was aliitle let down: good concept...mediocre execution.

:P

haha, go away cliffy. i agree, it's like gears 1 but better in every way.

I didn't really care about the Gears characters either. Actually, I was hoping Dom would just die. Hes just as useless in this game as in Gears 1. I did not like the Dom's wife story. It did not go over well. Actually, it was more funny and cheezy than anything.  Dizzy owns though. Both games endings could use some work. Gears more so, as it was very lack luster.

Gears 2 Campaign is officially better than R2's now that I finished R2. R2 is still good and fun, but Gears is more fun.
