Get both. I just finished Gears 2, and both games can exist side by side. They are very different. There are things like lighting your path to avoid the krill, and riding in mine carts that just aren't in GeoW 2. They're like Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back. Sure, you can enjoy one, but you really should experience them both. Gears 1 is a more intimate game. Gears 2 is an EPIC game. Buy Gears 1 and finish it. Then, play Gears 2. You are in for a hell of a time.
