I've only played single player and not got the sequel yet, but I really rate Gears of War myself!
I know it kinda falls into a lot of the typical shooter stereotypes, but overall I found it quite refreshing. Mostly this was due to the cover system (not sure if Gear was the first to implement this), which I know kinda slows things up compared to many FPS games, but actually makes you think; 'Am I gonna be flanked here? Where is the best place to defend from?'
On top of this it's incredibly well produced, with some of the best graphics to date and I thought they got the game length just right. Playing Gears of War is like playing along to a blockbuster movie and I really enjoyed it.
The only problem I ever had was that the controls took a bit of getting used to... (maybe just me)
