Gears 2 just lost almost all the hype it had going for me...

Did you play the sires on "casual"? On casual, the B button works like a dream. On Hardcore it took a couple of tries for me to get through that section, and I played that section with a buddy on Insane and we had to re-try it multiple times.

I didn't dislike the Worm part as much as you did, but you know, to each his own. I thought the box section handled like a shoebox on square wheels also, but fortunately that hallway was short.

I did find the reveals (story wise) in the facility to be the most enlightening though...

 

Yeah, I'm on casual which I admint, the game shouldn't be too hard but it also shouldn't be rediculously easy.  Even on horde mode on a pretty hard difficulty on a 30+ wave sires are a joke and just require the chainsaw. 

Even on a harder difficulty I wouldn't be surprised if you could just stand in a corner and let them run into your chainsaw since their only attack is run straight at you.

I wasn't trying to be insulting, I also ran through the campaign on casual to see the ending, as numerous folks in multi-player were already talking about it (those who can devote more time to playing then I, ), I'm going through it again on insane for the challenge and acheivements.  The problem with the sires on insane mode is the number (they don't come at you one at a time), and the damage (one hit = almost dead), and you are no longer invincible when chainsawing. 

Regardless, I hear what you are saying here; personally I found much more in the campaign I liked that outweighed the bad, but you know, everyone has thier own tastes.
