Pro's: The story is absolutely amazing, you can tell that this was a game designed around a story, and not a story wedged into a GUI. You feel connection with the charactors, and the ending is inspired to say the least. Long gone are the days of pointless shoot-em-up. Graphically, the game is good overall and carries alot of the same atmosphere that GoW1 did. The new hoarde mode is a great addition and is hours of fun for singleplayer or multiplayer. 2p co-op option is always tons of fun.
Con's: Some of the missions felt like filler. While they always lead up to some fun fight, the game didn't consistantly use its time getting the player more involved with the storyline or more intimate with the charactors. Also, weapon selection didn't really change much from GoW1.
Other thoughts: The pro's far outweigh the cons here, and anybody who enjoys high action combat and a good story should get this game.
