Best graphics this gen. There's only one problem... the screens are doctored. (meaning they probably run in extremely high resolution then scaled down) Plus they might not even be in-game, only in-engine/cut scenes.

"With a measure of grace" is the operative phrase, here.

Fair enough... I found both games had terrible story and worse dialoge than most Porn movies. But Gears 1 had funner more challenging gamplay. Everything in Gears 2 was for presentation sake. Like riding that flying creature in Gears 2...dude, not fun!

I found riding the reaver to be one of the most fun, most challenging parts of the game, but to each their own, I suppose.

lol, I have a feeling you guys are just making fun of me now...To me, that flying part, just like the insides of the worm, were there as technical demos to show off what the Unreal Engline 3 V2 can do.

Its cool, I'm ok with being the only one not likeing gears 2...and I respect that the game was such a hit with you guys.

Actually, looks like I'm not the only one  - http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/Artie/gears-of-war-2s-campaign-sucks/30-15637/

This guy must be my long lost gaming twin as everything he says here is 100% how I feel about the game.

Its not about challenge but gamer engagement. Tripods coming from all sides, timer ticking, alarms going off...all while being attacked by those robo mini tripods.

Besides, you must have played on easy or something as I clearly remember that being plenty challenging. I remember having 1 rocket launcher which can take 1 tripod down. the other 9 you had to take down with those mini bombs and gravity gun

I see where your coming from. However, remember each to their own. ;)

I found the flying part a welcome break in Gears 2 for example. And enjoyed being able to take in the visuals more in that part.

Also loved the part in the underground river. Also the defense of the landing platforms just after the flying bit. 

But also I loved the first time you fought the big guy in Gears 1 ( forgotten what they are called ) where he takes out the pillars. That was great design. Little room, yet you have to run. ArGGGGHHHH.

The story is of course generic. But Gears was always about the set pieces. Of which it does a great job. Gears doesnt really do boss fights. What it has is pretty easy. But it does battles exceedingly well. #

I'm less picky with games than most here. If I'm really enjoying it I couldnt care for any issues. As long as they dont hinder my enjoyment. Glitches smitches for example. I enjoyed ME1 to much to notice any faults.
