Gears of War 2 doesn't need a story. I enjoyed the hell out of Gears of War 1, and I had no clue what the fuck was going on. Especially the bit with Marcus' dad having a map of the Locust tunnels for some fucking reason. But I didn't care because the game was fun.

But Gears of War 2 could do with a longer single-player campaign. Gears of War 1 and COD4 were both too short. I beat COD4 in probably 7 hours, and GoW 1 in 8 hours. GoW 1 on hard, and COD4 on Veteran. For me, the perfect game length is right around 12-15 hours.
