Resistance 2 vs Gears of War 2 ( Higher Score ? )

Why are we comparing 2 consoles, one having an abundance of AAA shooters and the other having a shooter lineup constantly labled generic and uninspired? The 360's games have a much higher bar set for them. a 9.5 Resistance 2 does not = a 9.5 shooter on the 360.. more like 7.5. FactWillieBeamish

I still don´t know why the mods are too easy with you:|

On Metacritic it will be close- there is a bit of uncertainty about gears atm but i think they will both average mid 9's. On gamespot though i will eat my hat if they give R2 a higher score. They would just not even consider that R2 might be better than G2.

Anyway the side story to all of this is that its a win to Sony because x360 relies more on Gears than Sony does on Resistance.

Gears of War 2 is the better game and plus it has a real co op mode

I'm thinking both 9.0 on here I'm like floppy_jim, I'd like to see gears flop to see the reaction, actually i'd laugh if either, or both, flopped. I didn't like the first resistance and wouldn't mind if it flopped. The threads when things flop are always hilarious.mattsnibbs

I found Gears one to be incredibly boring, and I couldn't even finish it, I just stopped playing. I had no urge to continue.

I beat Resistance from start to finish in two days, I just couldn't stop playing. There is just so much more content there.

R2 looks primed to do the same thing to Gears 2. Epic can't compete, if there is one thing Insomniac excels at, it's variety and content.

fanboys can be pretty sad....

anyways... both games will be great. I think Gears 2 will have a better campaign than resistance 2 but I could be wrong you never know.

I also think that resistance 2 will surpass gears 2 in the multiplayer aspect. Horde mode and 5 on 5 is not enough to defeat how great Resistance 2's multiplayer has been so far with 60 players and they have a variety of good modes for resistance 2's multiplayer. Also the 8 player coop mode also adds to the resume for Resistance 2.

So both games will be amazing but I think resistance 2 has a lot more value.

Gears 2 no contest

Honestly my friend and I have been playing the R2 beta

Its a fun game and its loaded with content which is good

But Gears is in a whole different league

the first gears demolished resistance 1 and the same thing is going to happen with gears 2 demolishing resistance 2

ign will give gears 2 at least a 9.5

on gamespot i predict gears 2 getting a 9.5 and resistance 2 getting an 8 maybe an 8.5

as for overall graphics es gears 2 looks better then resistance2

gears is about quality

resistance 2 is about quantity

and quality>>quantity

Lol, he wasnt trolling.

Who says they're in the same league? They're not even the same type of game.

Gears is in a league of it's own. R2 is still going for quantity, not saying it lacks quality.

IGN - Resistance 1 - 9.1 ( 2006 )

IGN - Resistance 2 - 9.5 ( 2008 )

IGN - Gears 1 - 9.4 ( 2006 )

IGN - Gears 2 - ? ( 2008 )

hmmm

though it makes sense to look at a sequal to a game by the previous installment - remember that if GeOW 2 doesnt do anything major new then it might not get a higher score then GeOW 1. i would even expect a lower score, not by a lot. and i mean that for any game, im not trying to have a go at Gears of War.

Though GeOW 2 has better graphics i think that R2 will have higher scores, on average - so not only from gamespot. but i might be wrong.

gears 2 will score better.shoeman12

I think either way, fanboys of each system will be silenced by both games scores. They are both going to be amazing games, sadly fanboys have to try picking out which game is better than the other which is pretty hard considering they are both different in the perspective you play them in.

Gmes should be reviewed on there own merits.

Or Fallout 3 should have got a 7.5, for being Oblivion with guns.

Resistance just has added co-op play, and more players online

Gears has added co-op, and more players online.

gametypes like submisiion and wingman are gonna give gears a boost imo, those modes sound like a blast

yah but not 60 and more players = a better game :roll:

Erik_Lensherr i honestly think that you are the most biased fanboy in all of these forums. Your posts are frequently narrow minded. I would like to see you say something good about ps3 or Wii one day.mhsdrake

PS3 has a good blu-ray player, mario Galaxy is a great game.

I honestly think R2 visuals look better than Gears 2.trav_have

There are some Gears of War 2 reviews that sound disappointing

IGN gave 9.5 to R2, IGN doesn't really give good scores to video games until they are so good. I think R2 will beat the crap out of GOW2

And also R2 graphics look way better than GOW2 graphics

Hydrolex

I agree with the rest of your comment, but that is just too far.

Yeah,i agree.

I dont see how people can call Gears an expansion, when it brings as much, if not MORE new content then R2 does.
