If you don't mind me asking, why would you put Gears 1 over 2? Also, thanks for your list. :) |
Mainly because it was one of my biggest disappointments of 2008 along with Resistance 2.
While the game did clean up some of the play mechanics of the original with slight tweaks and added an extra multiplayer mode borrowed from Unreal 2004, Epic's attempts to make a "bigger, better, more badass" game felt contrived and just didn't rekindle the magic I felt while playing the orginal.
The story also had some pretty artificial attempts to turn up the volume as well, which just didn't have their intended effect when I played.
All that said, if someone played Gears 2 with a clean slate, no expectations and possibly never having played Gears 1, I'm sure they'd have a much higher opinion of the game.
