Gears of War 2 & Ninja Gaiden 2

I've been playing both and to be honest I'm very impressed, both these games have some kind of awesome vibe about them! Both have great graphics, gameplay, awesome boss battles, what more do you want? It's like USA & Japan, best of what both worlds have to offer.

Most of the time, reviewers never give sequals a better rating like they did with NG and they'll probably do the same with GoW. But these 2 really ARE better, y'all agree?

Ninja Gaiden is wayyy too flawed to receive a 10. It deserved an 8.5 at most.

Gears 2 is awesome but online has similar problems as the first one. It's really great but doesn't have the extra "umph" to deserve a 10.

I absolutely loved NGB, theres so much value to the game, yet with NGII, the game just felt sloppy and rushed

NG2 was fun and enjoyable, but far to flawed to deserve a 10.

The first NG game I played was Sigma, which is the best version of 1, 2 has more weapons, cooler finishing moves, better arrows, more awesome enemies, at the save points you get life back (NG2 is way easier).

I could go on but you get the point, it's better then 1

no......i say 9.0 for both of them.....10 is way too much.

Gears 2 at 9.0 is perfect score for the game

NG 2 should be an 8.5 to 9.0 if you don't suck

Both are solid 9/10 games imo. Ninja Gaiden is highly underrated.

i dont see any flaws that prevent gears 2 a 10 score if gta iv and MGS4 go here a 10

MGS4 and GTA IV have much more biger flaws then gears 2

the only flaws is see here is GS

Even though I love NGII it does not deserve a 10. The game was simply too unpolished.

Gears 2 maybe, but NG2 is a bit too faulty with its camera to warrant such a score.

Gears 2 is extremely fun and i would personally give it a 8.0-8.5 but it is far from a 10, ninja gaiden 2 i have not played extensively and from my limited experience with the title i would give it a 7.0 compared to black's solid 9. To better gauge those scores i will post some of my other personal scores: Mass Effect - 6.5, Uncharted- 7.5, CoD 4 8.0, MGS4 - 9.0, Crysis - 8.5, Crysis Warhead - 9.0, GTA4 - 7, Company of Heroes - 9.0, Galactic Civ II (with arnor expansion) - 9.5, BF:BC - 6.0... there are tons more that i could list but that is not necesary now.

If MGS4 and GTA4 get 10s than GeoW2 should as well. (NG2 not so much). In all honesty Gears of War 2 is better than MGS4 and GTA4, but not sure any of them deserve a 10. With that said since the 2 afore mentioned titles got 10s, and Gears kicks their rears than I say heck yes it should get a 10.

Not sure about NG2, Thouse types of games always kick my butt. But for Gears 2, 10 is too much. 9.5 yeah. It is a great game, although the tanks parts are kinda bad.

But I think the only 10 games sofar are Baldur's Gate 2, Alpha Centauri, and Total Annihilation.

It really comes down to personal opinion and Gamespot opinion is that MGS4 is better than Gears 2.

no it's not, if you read the conditions for GS reviews they make it clear that titles are reviewed relative to their console and previous iterations. not against competing consoles.

Gears only deserves a 9 because

-THe game didn't exactly evolve alot...
- THe MP is still highly flawed....and way too simple
- Boss fights are lame
- The Story is still average at best

I got more but its a good game, but 9 at best.

Lol, you would give Crysis warhead a 9.0? And you rate mass effect a whole point lower than uncharted... wow I really question your personal scale.

Ninja Gaiden 2 - 9.0

Gears of War 2 - 9.5

That is what I feel they deserved anyway.

If Gears 2 deserves a 10 then you can't really say Resistance 2 doesn't. But then, a score of 10 is really reserved for a game that will make a phenomenal impact on the market - game that will change everything. So really, the only one that does deserve it is LittleBigPlanet. And the original Guitar Hero, but thats ancient history.

But according to Lemmings like you, GeOW 2 deserves a 10 rather than MGS4 or GTA4. So, if fanboys are comparing the 2 games, we only can use GS Review scores. I just can't help myself to laugh at this. Are all Lems still DCing on MGS4 perfect 10 score? Get over it already and stop bringing it back up. It is embarrasing.

Technically it's not even that. GTAIV and MGSIV (atleast in the eyes of Gamespot) took their respective franchsies to another level. Their improvements warranted a 10.

...No. NG2 was flawed, as others have pointed out. Not that it's a bad game though. And Gears 2 is built for it's online. Which IMO it delivers. But it's campaign was pure crap (Atleast a quarter of it was railgun type levels) and the game is essentially Gears 1.5. I know thats such a cliche thing to say about any sequel. But it didn't bring anything new to the franchise. Content wise, it's built for online play. Even Halo 3 had more going for it. Like I said though, Gears 2 is an online game. But as whole, it's not all that great. You should be able to take away the online, and still have a great game. Without it's online, Gears 2 is merely a good action game. But nothing great.

Gears 2 I can almost see because it's very very fun, but NG2? I gave it a 7.5 for a reason. I love it to death, but it's a buggy sloppy mess of a game that I can't recommend if you aren't already a fan.

IF you reviewed games here, people would hate you. Do you dislike "big" games or does it take a whoooole lot to impress you. I'm not being sarcastic or saying that in a demeaning or igorant way but, you were pretty harsh there.

Gears deserves a 9.

Dead Space deserves an 8.5.

Fallout 3 deserves a 9.5-10.

Far Cry 2 deserves an 8.0.
