I have to say that after buying the game this morning and reaching the cave section, this is the closest that a game I have played has come to rivalling Crysis in the graphic department. I play Crysis on maximum settings in 1920x1200, and even though the resolution isn't quite as good, and the AA is slightly worse, gears 2 is stunning. I didn't think graphics like these could play on the current generation of consoles. Initially I thought it just looked like the original game with some added colour, but they have really pushed the boat out further on in the game.
Aside from the graphics, I am enjoying the gameplay though I find myself dying quite a lot (probably down to the difficulty and me being too far forward in fire fights). I am playing bits of pieces of the game at the moment and trying to space it out a bit so I down rush through it in one go... anyway, back to it.
