Im pleasantly surprised so many people are being honest about this game. As for me, I bought the first game and played through it ONCE and never touched it again. It was a good game dont get me wrong. I just realized how overhyped it was once I experienced it myself. To each their own. may eventually rent the second gears of war but definately wont buy. Im the same way with halo games. Never got what the hype was all about. Tried the 2nd and 3rd one and didnt care for it really. Gears definately has good graphics and some cool ideas, just not my cup of tea i guess.

Im in love with it. It's great I don't see why anyone wouldn't like it. The controls are easy the graphics are wonderful and the storyline aswell as they gamplay is great. I don't have a bad word to say about it. :)

I can't stand Gears either the only reason I could even stand playing it was being able to play with a frind over XBL he was barely able to keep me sane while playing the god awful game.

Changing the word "hates" for "who doesn't like" doesn't make you look less like a troll, if you don't like the game, then sell it or something, spoiled kid.

ur critizism isnt acurate at all; u can kill any1 with half clip if ur aim is good enough, some bullets on the face will drop the enemy down, i think the campaign is good, except 4 the last boss, i agree with multiplayer, the matchmaking is awful, but the game is pretty good; personally i liked it a lot

oh, and i dont think these graphics could be described as "bad", seriously

Okay so I got gears a little bit early for Chistmas and I absolutely hate it. It makes me feel sick playing it. It took 4 full clips of lancer to kill someone, respwn times are forever, graphics are bad and its just horrible. I cant stand it, I bought it at best buy and dont want it anymore. It turned out like assasins creedwhich i got bored with at the tutorial. Wish i would have gotten WAW.somegtalover

by any standards the graphics are pretty good, umm what difficulty were you playing on that a guy took 4 lancer clips, there are no respawn times unless your playing guardian or meat flag ect.. if you've played CS its the same kind of one life till round is over stuff..... i think your just making up excuses cuz you dont like it. to each his own but dont put down a game with false info

I will say that I think the online multiplayer is bad for this game, that being said Horde mode is amazing.

i gotta say that i really loved the first Gears... But seriously for some unknown reason Gears 2 just puts me to sleep faster then nyquil and sudafed (sp?)

yes, even the Single player, Yes even Horde mode, yes even Local Co-op and Local Co-op Horde mode... just a rediculously BORING game. The main reason i really liked the first gears WAS the fact that it was so challenging... it kept you on the edge of your seat rather then the edge of falling asleep.

Epic's half assed attempt to try and make the characters and story more involved and "deep" just made it seem lightyears more forced and corny then the first game (btw Dom is by far the most annoying character in any game i have ever played, i could not care less about him as a character and hope he just gets axed entirely)

but at least Cole is still Cole and he's awesome. Don't care much for Marcus Fenix either... The typical "I'm an arrogant macho badass who doesnt take crap from no one" american hero is just getting REAL stale... but if it were a japanese game Marcus Fenix would most certainly look like a women and that's even worse.

It is my belief that: The single player / co-op campaign is worth trying. The MP is garbage garbage garbage. Since the campaign is so very short, it isn't worth ownership for me.

I really didn't like the Original Gears for these reasons.

1: Over hyped graphics! If every thing is a shade of washed out grey and no real sunlight how didpeopleget away with praising the graphics to this game?

2! Every player looks huge and feels like a 300 lbs man running with a gun almost as big as he is. Everyone moved slow. Oh wait.

3: 200 bullets doesn't kill anything in the game.

4: Feels like a slow awkward version of Unreal by the creators of Unreal.

My friends loved this game and would force me to play it. They played this game a lot and I could still hang with them. The sequel looks better but I guess from what the TS said I'm still going to hate this one as well.

I seriously hope your a girl because men really should not use terms like arrogant and macho in the way that you did those terms are reserved for spiteful feminists and jealous boys.

I'm going to have to agree with you there, especially about the graphics. What's the point of having beautiful graphics with no art or color to express the beauty? This is why I prefer Halo 3 and Fable 2 graphics over technical games like GOW2. Although they're not technically mind blowing, they're beautiful looking games bursting with color and Beautiful, varied environments.

Whatthedeuce, I agree for the most part (except sudafed doesn't make you drowsy :P).

Kikode, what makes you think men can't use arrogant and macho? Guys can be against that stuff too - especially since its been rehashed again and again.

Yeah Gears of War 2 looks good thoughgraphically, sun light and color finally. I'm really looking forward to Fable 2.

lol thanks for clearing that up :D and also thanks for agreeing with me.

just let Kikode think what he wants i guess... no point starting an arguement with him because im tired of male characters like Marcus Fenix (yea i'm a guy, yes arrogance really pisses me off. so what?) oh and by the way i'm also strongly against the way women are portrayed in video games as most female characters in games come off as nothing but bodacious bags of meat dressed up like prostitutes. (there are exceptions mind you)

The multiplayer is pretty bad. The campaign was great but it is not a good format for multiplayer deathmatches.z3dd1cu5

I think this is the most accurate thing I've read in this whole thread. Nicely put, sir.

I liked the single player of both gears of war games. The multiplayer on the first gears has a really bad community. Maybe I was just very unlucky, but every game I played was full of the worst type of gamer.

It also didn't play how you'd expect - I thought it would be team based and tactical....where as it was more people just running round with the shotgun.

The second gears seems a bit better online, but still not great.

I must say, I don't really like Gears either. I just played the first one and didn't quite like it. What's dragging me into buying the second one is the cool box. And it seems to be a little better, don't know but the first one kind of sucked.

i like gears a lot but I hated GT4 so like another guy said, everybody likes and hates certain games regardless. I don't think there is a game that everybody likes uniformally.
