Simply put... if you own a 360, then pick this game up. I will be honest that I didn't think that this version was going to be as good as the original GOW when I first started playing. I was actually about 3/4 through the game before I realized that it really isn't fair to compare this the original GOW because it isn't the same concept. This game is much more over the top with an aim to give you an arcade WTF was that reaction rather than the frantic HOLY SH*% moments that the original GOW gave you. I think that anyone who is honest with themselves will admit that the final boss battle is lame, but the overall game is pretty sweet. The achievements make the replay value fairly high as well. I just finished the single player and started to play multi today, so I don't have a real opinion on that yet. From what I have seen, it looks like they may have fixed the balance issues from the original. Hopefully that is true. To sum everything up in one sentence... Basically, if you don't have this then go get it!
