finally got resistance 2 and gears 2

[lestatdark]

First of all, congratulations on your purchase. I have both of them too, but have just finished R2 (Got my x360 with gears 2 three days ago). I loved Resistance 2, it was everything the first game was, plus more, way more. The scale of the battles was epic, the bosses were awesome, and it had superb graphics (although it kinda lacked on textures, the effects were magnificent).

Gears 2 i really can't say, because i haven't tried it out on my HDTV, but after playing through Gears 1 on my pc, i've got to say that it's a hell of graphics powerhouse, so if they have enhanced it for the 2 iteration, then by all means, gears 2 has better graphics than R2.

But it's not about graphics, it's about gameplay. I loved the FPS gameplay of Resistance. It's more tactical, more thoughtful, makes you go slower and more careful around the maps, planning out your next moves more carefully. Gears 1 had an captivating mechanic too, i loved the cover system and the melee kills. Plus the online was simply great.

So, while i still have to try gear2 to it's full extent, i believe both games are on par with each other, so that's a plus to us gamers :D
