is the cvg review correct in saying gears 2 is almost a third of the time played in underground caverns?



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Holy crap, this game is the best. :D Haven't yet finished it, hoping to do that tonight and then start it again on insanity. :)



True, you will be underground, but it is not what you think. I don't want to spoil it. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING!!!



Plus, it makes sense that you are underground since you are taking the fight to them this time around. But as d21lewis said, there are tons of surprises and absolutely amazing encounters.

No shit, Act2 was truly awsome, one of the best campaign I've played yet, lots of action, it gets much better hehe.



My favorite games for this gen:

1. Gears of War    2. MGS4    3. Killzone 2   4. Halo 3(Underated by many)      5. Mass Effect

Completed act 3 last night............ DAMN..... this campaign just keeps getting better and BETTER........ I can't wait to play act 4 tonight, i'm getting withdrawal symptoms here.

And theres no let up in the graphics either, Act 3 is every bit as BEAUTIFUL as act 2.

You mean the same review where they gave the game a 93/100 and said:

 

The campaign is the meaty Hollywood blockbuster Epic promised, delivering ten of the most quality hours of gaming from the last 12 months (and even more in co-op and multiplayer).

// Overview
Verdict
Epic's delivered the most action-packed shooter of 2008 and a story worth taking seriously. This is grown up Gears.
Uppers
  Compelling story with plenty of twists
  It looks even more stunning
  Massive, epic boss fights
  Expanded multiplayer

Downers

  Vehicle and cave sections could do with trimming

 

You mean that review? Was this the only flaw you could find anyone list in the 100 plus GoW2 reviews that have been published?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Played a bit of multiplayer tonight back to back with Gears1 I still think that Gears1 has a better feel to it, the animations are better in the first one and the weapons seems more natural than clunky like in Gears2. The colours of the first one is more realistic while the second one is more cartoony, I'm talking about the characters here, the maps are good the way they are just the characters looked more real in the first one.
I love playing horde but a match against other players is still weird and the chainsaw can't be stop lol
