Gears 2 IGN UK review = 9.2

They say it has the best AI ever in a video game. Also that the visuals are pushing HD games into a new realm.

That review is making things more complicated since IGN UK says that the story is meh at best while IGN US says that the story is really good. 

 

"While it doesn't come close to reaching the confused gravity of a Metal Gear Solid 4, Gears 2's story, and more specifically the journey, will engage you enough to keep you wanting to continue through to the end at a gallop -- ideally with a friend, as once again, it's an easier go with co-op."

That quote up there pretty much indicates what 1UP thinks about GoeW2's story:it's good but not as great as MGS4's tale.

 

Well, I'm pretty sure very few people expected the story to have as much depth as MGS4. It's good, but I wager MGS4 goes into more detail so you can connect with the characters easier.
