Gears of War 2 plays like the first game. The control is intuitive and responds very well. I'm not into the driving portions of the game which is why it's not a perfect 10. Some how they improved on the bench mark graphics on the first game. Yes you dumb game programmers of the world, gears of war was the bench mark that you have yet to beat. Now that gears of war 2 has been released, you have higher standards to beat so get to work. The game is just plain fun not only to play, but to watch. My wife likes to watch me play just to see what is going to happen next. It's like being in a movie. It's awesome! From a story line perspective, the game has passed the Halo series. It is interesting to see if they continue the series. I'm betting they will. It's just too good! The only draw back (besides the driving parts) is that the game leaves you wanting more just like the first one. Which I guess is a good thing. I have a PS3, a Wii, an Alienware Area 51 and of course 360. This game along with Halo 3 makes having a 360 a must. I will be honest with you. The only major difference between all of the systems is the games that can be played. If your wondering which system to get, just go with the system that has the most games you like. I prefer the PC and 360 followed by the PS3 and then the Wii because of the games that I like to play. Each system has positives and negatives. I feel that Gears of War series along with Halo will be a staple in video game history. I would hate for any serious gamer to miss out on these games.
