After all the threads praising the game (prob 20 or more) you enter the first that doesnt and you didnt enter any of the others. What do you want me to state in those Gears 2 praising threads while I haven't played the game? I did however watch some Gears 2 cutscenes and its ending on youtube, IMO very similar weak points as the orignal. Multiplayer and pure gobsmacking wow power. It truly is a breathtaking game. I can't comment on Gears 2, but I found the 4 vs 4 battles quite limiting and not worthy of the hype. Which is why it's my top game this gen. And as I said before, it's better than any Halo game in my opinion. (And I'm a huge Halo fan. You should see my Halo collection). I am not a Halo fan at all. Found Halo 3 to be massively overhyped as well. |
Well If you havent played it I wouldnt comment at all. Because as many others will tell you Gears 1 and Gears 2 feel very different. You would expect the engine to feel familiar, but it doesnt. It has had a serious overhall. Least of all because of the massive difference in scale. Ive said before Gears 2 opening level is the closest thing to Gears 1, when the Gears 2 logo comes up at the end of the first level and big cutscene you need to forget everything you thought you knew about Gears.
It goes from similar, to holy shit in the space of 2 minutes. From then on it's the best rollercoaster ride of a game Ive been on. Not to mention that the Horde mode is the best addition to a MP Ive played in a very very long time. It's so much better than the usual DM, TM, or CTF stuff we keep having to play. Horde will be around for a very long time.
