You enjoyed Sonic Unleashed more than Gears of War 2?! I can understand how you feel about the multi-player (Believe me, I feel the same too), but the single-player defined the word "Epic" and horde mode was the shiznit! The daytime Sonic levels for Unleash were fantastic, but they were few and far between. Most of the time, you were playing a shitty God of War clone. As for Mass Effect, the game did have great polish and great game design, but the shooting for the game was also clumsy and imprecise (But not random). I don't think Alpha Protocol will be as enjoyable as the Mass Effect series, but I believe that it will be a good distraction. Seems to have a better dialogue system than Mass Effect. |
Gears 2 single player was good...when you were allowed to actually control the character and play. It kept stopping every 30 seconds to have in game cut scenes or story moments which were almost insulting peoples intelligence. Horde mode was solid and I spent most of my time playing that...otherwise SP was way better in Gears 1. Gears 2 only picks up with solid chunks of gameplay in the last 2 chapters. For the first 6 hours its army this, dig this, worm this, maria that...blah blah blah.
As shitty as werehog levels were, Sonic Unleashed had meaty gameplay moments that were challenging, which is what I want in a game. Some of those later Sonic levels kicked my ass so hard(Ps360 version)... Not to mention you could skip in game cut scenes...
Not saying Sonic Unleashed is a better game than gears 2. Just that I enjoyed it more as I really don't care for story and "visuals" in most games.
