Gears 1 definitely had a better campaign. Part of this was because at the time Gears gameplay was fresh and the graphics were just sick (and still are). As I finished the campaign I was ready to fire up another round on expert.
Gears 2 had a good campaign, bigger battles, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as the first one. The end boss was the biggest let down I've had in a game. You face this huge boss and all you have to do is hold down the fire button to defeat him? I know this was done for the story but still, a little challenge would have been nice.
Gears 2 has the horde mode which helps make up for the campaign's faults. It is awesome. That by itself made Gears 2's online better than the first.
