It looks similiar? Really, you guys? I dont remember having epic battles like the one you saw in the gameplay footage. And I'll say this again, and again for everyone. That was just ONE footage. Have you seen the magazine scans of Gears of War 2? Look it up. You'll have a change of mind. How can you concieve that Gears of War 2 will be the same just from one video footage? I dont remember being able to chainsaw the locust from behind, or chainsaw dueling? Hell, you can even use your enemy as a shield and when you're done with it, you can snap it's neck. No offense, but gamers like you guys have no faith. Have some faith. This is Epic games, Gears of War 2, not some no name studio without a formula of success. We're talking Cliffy B here. You cannot base a game on trailers and demos. You have to play the full game, the final product.

To add to this, the graphics are much improved. Better lighting and shadows, more textures, no funny white lighting and contrast, more 3D objects on the screen, and it ran super smooth with no slowdown. Get a computer moniter and your HDTV running Gears of War and you'll see the difference right away. If you cant, sorry, you're blind.

The Graphics? The graphics look pretty much the same even with an HDTV.The gameplay is also pretty much the same except for the chainsaw duels and new animations. Can't we have our own opinion without having people like you messing up our opinions. Can we? Their might be new weapons but their might be only few of them.

My old console destroyed 3 of my games while being horizontal and then ended-up getting the RROD. And don't say its your fault you must have moved it, i did not and i hate when people say that like its a fact and the only way a game will be scracthed is because its your fault stfu no its not. MS serviced my console and found something wrong with the drive the was causing the scracthed disc among other problems so always be aware. when in doubt send it in.sr_darkzodiac

That would most likely happen if it's vertical. If not, why would your discs get destroyed if it was in horizontal? You said their was something wrong with the drive, so it's not the console being in horizontal it is your xbox 360. So don't blame the destruction of your games because your xbox 360 was horizontal.
