I re-played Gears 1 earlier this week to get me in the mood for Gears 2. Damn, Gears 1 still had the power to make me say "wow"! I jumped into Gears 2 on my HDTV, and I was a little let down. The Graphics near the end of Gears 1 were better than the graphics at the beginning of Gears 2.......
But like Selnor said, once the words "Gears of War 2" pop up on screen, prepare to be blown away! I had my TV set too bright, but once I adjusted the in game settings, it was really one amazing moment after another. Still not fond of disappearing dead bodies though.........
@ Leo-J, I own Uncharted and MGS4 also (but not Resistance 2 yet) and I play in 720p. Gears 2 has them beat. You can find unpolished textures and such if you look for them (as in any game, I imagine) but on the whole Gears 2 is the best looking game I have ever played.
