I'm very surprised that a sequel was made. I never played any gears of war until 2 days ago when i bought it at gamestop. After playing through it i was disappointed. I thought it was lame and boring, u rarely fight. You mostly walk around and shoot 1 or 2 guys once every 10 mins. Do ya agree or disagree with me?

I totally disagree. You dont shoot once every 10 mins and enemies usually spawn in groups of at least 5. IMO it is a great game but I'm sure not everyone might like it.

I agree on that. I remember back when it was released, it blew me away. Shame GeoW2 didnt have the same effect (probably because the formula its the same) but its still fun to play. I'd suggest trying it online although you should be ready for some host advantage.

I disagree, but it does probably seem less impressive now than it did back when it came out, especially since so many games have copied it or taken gameplay mechanics from it by now.

WRONG...Cliffy B admitted that the gameplay mechanics from Gears was borrowed from other games. One game that I know that most people over the age of 15 should know....KillSwitch.

I only played a little bit of the origional GoW but bought the 2nd one and was also sort of dissipointed. Its a fun game dont get me wrong but I was just expecting more after all the hype it get and i really did not care for the multiplayer. I have to stick with COD WaW for that.

I agree with the original poster, It was repetetive and bland. The most powerful weapon Isn't even a weapon, its a laser pointer until a satellite kills w.e you are pointing at. How lame, eh?

Gears of war is amazin!!! The game feels more grounded with the smaller intense battles. That's why the online is so wicked awesome. Gears 1 was terrific and Gears 2 improves upon everthing. Gears 2 may not feel as shockingly good, but it is certaintly an improvement.

It's much better than Killswitch IMO. I think there is plenty of action in Gears 1 and 2.

1. The original poster didn't say repetitive, he said he didn't like the wait between games. 2. Definatly not lame in my opinion.

Gears of War was an amazing game. Had one of the best Multiplayers. However, Gear of War 2 I was not a big fan of the Multiplayer. Had a lot of bugs, which I am sure they have fixed all of that already.

Actually Cliffy B said the game that they copied from the most for controls was Resident Evil 4. I remember an interview where he said everyone loved the controls of the game, where you saw from the waste up of the charater with the camera in close to create intense moments.

The first Gears of War was awesome but it doesn't take long for me to end up getting bored with it.The second Gears i find literally about 20 times better, i never get bored with it online everything is so much more improved(except for the crap matchmaking).

I'm pretty sure the first had heaps of action i mean thats the basis of the game, i did find the second Gears more violent though and the newer sounds definately remind me.

I agree that I thought it was disappointing. I heard so many people talk great about it and when I played it I was like "This is that great game people were talking about?" And I didn't give up on it. I played it for quite some time and just never found that Gears of War was a game I ever really needed to play again. I mean I had some fun but I just didn't see the hype or how this game was so much better than a lot of other games like this one.

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)

No **** that's an exagerration. If you want less time between engagements in Gears,hold down A.

The most powerful weapon Isn't even a weapon, its a laser pointer until a satellite kills w.e you are pointing at. How lame, eh?

Oh yeah, when I found out in Gears that I could lase targets to be blown up by a death ray satellite, the first thing I thought was "lame." :roll:

I know of Kill.switch, and it doesn't have to do with what I'm talking about. I never said Gears of War invented the idea of a cover system, but the fact of the matter is that Gears popularized it among other now common gameplay mechanics. It's pretty hard to argue that the majority of common cover based shooters didn't take any inspiration at all from Gears. Also tons of gamers have never even heard of Kill.switch, let alone most people over the age of 15.
