The most fun I've had in a while!
Just, wow. Every squad has their motivated Dom, experienced Marcus, hardcharging Cole, and annoying pain in the ass Baird. And, unfortunately...the newbie Carmine.
I can say that Gears of War is the closest thing to squad interactions you will see in any game. The atmosphere is perfect, and even the dialog (cheesy to some people), resembles what goes on when deployed.
However, this game isn't without it's faults. It is only really enjoyable by the hardcore gamer, as moving in between cover is only for the most skilled. This is annoying. Extremely annoying at times. Sometimes the cover commands are unresponsive, also. The graphics are beautiful, but I'm not too hung up on graphics, moreso gameplay.
The next problem? Probably the overload of difficulty in certain areas. Some areas require that you just get lucky, to get buy. Boomers will kill you in one shot (if they hit). Although this should be expected, at times it can be a nuisance.
But, other than that, on to the good. This game is tactical. Shoot and move, shoot and move. This really is just a flat out FUN game. I can't get enough of it, although at times it frustrates me. It looks beautiful...it SOUNDS beautiful, it has an assortment of moves which are fun. Aside from the above mentioned, there is not one thing wrong with this game. It never gets boring (especially on Co-op Insane).
What the game could have used:
Prone Position.
Greater access to weapons (I dropped the chainsaw gun early on....and could never get a new one...that's rediculous!)
Greater team AI when fighting the .50 cal.
