Campaign is amazing, much better than the first and my god -- it actually has a story. A compelling one too, I never thought that Epic would be able to pull it off after Gears 1.

Multiplayer is FAIL. **** this ****.

thanks to a lot of good influences out there, MGS4 being one...the last part in the story, reminded me of MGS4, also the emotional/love side of things.

the online matchmaker tho, is just down right horrible...you wait more connection than playing, gsus.

Actually if you think hard enough, the Wii has NO good points over the competition.

Both the 360 and PS3 have there own GOOD POINTS that make it attractive.

The people with real complaints are just a minority over the interwebs but even with their complaints they can't deny how amazing the game is. Gears of War 2 is not for the weak and for those who can not adjust fast enough. I like playing with those kind of people because it gives me enjoyment on how easy to win against them. But if I want a real challenge I'll play rounds of horde. So far the most we've won in a group of three is level 28. So much fun.

No, not being able to play splitscreen online is a MAJOR drawback from the game. The complaints are not in the "minority" either. These are major drawbacks from the overall online experience.

srsly gears 1>>>>>gears 2

9.6>>>9.0

Gears of War 2 made up for alot of mistakes from the first but messed up majority of the stuff aswell. The End boss was nothing but ***SPOILERS**** just an infected brumak. It took less than 30 seconds ot kill. GeoW1 required a bit of skill, like taking down the beserkers and luring it outside. None of that beserker stuff was in Gears 2. The game just turned into a run and gun kind of game. No form of skill required. The Ending sucked, period. You never got up close and personal with any Brumaks what so ever like on GeoW PC. They were showing the Unreal 3.5 engine with all those enemies on screen, but the only time you encountered that was when you were in the cargo in the 2nd mission. You never had that kind of enemy swarming when you are up and personal with the Locusts.

come on be honest. Would you really want a hard game as that? That would be tough as s*** going theough and trying to kill that ammount of locusts.

i would love it, but it isn't possible, atleast for the machine to handle in that way. But i could picture a scene where you and the team get ambushed and you just go nuts and try to kill them all, with then marcus calling for backup (you have to do the best you can untill help arrives), cutscene kicks in and the choppers shooting the rest and you getting saved...or something.

[QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"]people still listen to Cliify? hes a dim wit. Really he is a total idiot.AvIdGaMeR444

Just like CliffyB said Dead Space is an awesome game and would be a sleeper hit. Many people laughed at that and called CliffyB an idiot assuming the game would stink. Like it or not, he was right. Also, if everyone here is going to call him a moron for what he said about Mirror's Edge, then I guess you have the exact same opinion of Jeff Gerstmann since he hates Mirror's Edge and basically said on Bonus Round he didn't get the game either. He said seeing the edges of your arms and legs is annoying while moving, and he did not understand why the game is not in 3rd person.

err. maybe because they want the player to feel more immersed?, 3rd person perspective can't achieve that.

While some have now played the story, i would like too state that the game reminded me of MGS4, with the love parts and near the ending, lol EXPECIALLY near the end. Goes to show you MGS4 raised the bar, and i'm glad EPIC was influenced, cause dam Gears needed a better story and Gear 2 finally nailed it. Good 2 see.

What seriously pisses me off is the Match Making, seriously what were they thinking? takes forver to get one going, including the fact that i can't tell which is a local connnection so i can have a stable game, just blindly directs you any part of the world with serious lag. gsus

RESISTANCE 2

reason? cause gears of war 2 didnt improve from the 1st one (according to gamespot ratings) while Resistance 2 did. that both brings them to the same ground - both are 9.0. then Resistance 2 tops it of with a good campaign, awesome co-op and awesome online. all it lacks is the high end graphics that gears of war 2 has - but so what?

mgs_freak91

LOL, yes it did. The game improved A lot over the first, pretty much in every aspect.

I suggest you play it and NOT go by a persons opinion.

SO games now need to be understood to be good?

ITS A VIDEO GAME.

Atleast Mirror's edge looks different than your tpyical run and gun game...it does new stuff, i don't care if its a chick doing some odd things, if it looks cool and plays fun, thats what counts.

Cliffy was being to picky for the hell of it, so people can talk about him, his ego's through the roof after he did a flook with gears of war (thanks to the many games that inspired it) he thinks his the best developer in the world.

I don't hate him, but like any other OVER the top talking devs, they need to hold back a bit. its just gets silly.
