Well, R2's strength is in its multiplayer. When you just play both single player campaigns....yes, Gears 2 will blow you away.

i played gears 2 at my nephews house last night and i am really loving it, i think its much better than gears 1 and one of the best shooters this gen period. the graphics kick ass and the gameplay is as rock solid as ever. as of right now i think its the best looking game this gen, i think it will be passed next year with heavy rain though. overall i would give gears 2 a 10/10, it would make my top 5 games this gen.

Cliffy said this about his favorite part of gears 2:



Q: When you look at all of the gameplay modes in Gears of War 2, which one really stands out to you?

Cliff Bleszinski: I’m most proud of the campaign. Unfortunately, it’s the one thing we’re not allowed to talk about when promoting the game. We can talk about the Versus and Co-op and Horde, but the campaign is so secret. There are entire environment sets and characters and events and plot points that we can’t say anything about. We don’t want to spoil it for gamers. We want them to play through with a friend and experience all of that coolness. But, overall, campaign is the thing I’m most proud of with all we’ve been able to pull off.

Just finished the campaign mode with a friend on normal, the best part is have to get 4 friends and beat it on insane, then on to horde mode and finally on to multiplayer. This game is awesome and should keep me busy for months to come

I heard the online was bad so im skipping gears 2 for now and getting Fallout 3

maybe you heard wrong things ?
