Anyone who thinks that they can expect anything less than what gears of war 1 offered from gears of war two is retarded. And since i already consider Gears 1 to be one of the best game to date, and what I've seen so far from gears 2, I believe that Gears 2 will be the best all-around game to date. And im not talking just hardcore games but videogames in general

This games gonna be sick.

to add on to my previous statement, all the people bashing the gears series only hates it because they suck on online multiplayer

I wonder if you ever swing that judgemental attitude towards the Pokemon franchise, considering how little has changed with it in over 10 years. Frontlines: Fuel of War is "only another shooter". Gears of War 2 is not just another shooter. It sets the bar where every other shooter tries to aim for and fails miserably in comparison to.

Straight out of the mouth of a fanboy lol

Ultimately, Gears 1 will be the game in the franchise that is remembered. Sequels, unless they do radically new things, rarely are as good as the originals. However there are exceptions (Super Smash Bros. Melee, Resident Evil 4, Super Metroid being some)

Had his statement been about Mario Galaxy being "only another platformer" it would have gotten the same response from me. Had it been about Ikaruga being "only another SHMUP" it would have gotten the same response from me. Had his statement been about Resident Evil 4 being "only another survival horror game" it would have gotten the same response from me. If you don't think Gears of War is a shooter that set the bar higher then you can go live in that illusion. I don't think Gears 1 or 2 will be anywhere near the greatest games of all time, but it sure as hell isn't just another shooter.

it is to much like the first Gears for it to be called best game of the year never mind of all time.

I really do think this game adds little to the first Gears,

However saying that the first gears is an ok game

it will be great but not the best game of all time

This is the most idiotic question of all time.

Sorry for sounding mean but you can't just take a game that hasn't been released and say it's the best of all-time or will the best of all-time. We had a lot of debate regarding GTA4 when it came because of the really good reviews it had but seriously, the best game of all time is so... subjective.

That's like calling the Pirates of the Carribean the best movie of all time.
How can a game with such shallow storytelling as GoW2 even be considered among the best games of all time? I hope I'm wrong and the narrative truly holds up, but I'm doubtfull it would have the depth of a classic to be considered a classic.
