Anyone know whether Gears 2 is any good? and I don't mean "ooh look at the pretty graphics" by that either. I'm talking replayability and just the fun factor. I didn't like the first Gears. Gameplay felt too constricted, having to duck behind cover for the majority of the time and not really having much maneuverability. I just hate third person shooters in general, at least until one proves me wrong and hooks me.

WARNING A LITTLE SPOILER IN NEXT PARAGRAPH

Ok, I have my first little dissapointment... In the part with the ???'s that come out of the tanks when you flip the switch in the research lab. I was very let down by the lead in by Miles? that doom was coming and there would be consequences because I released the ???'s. You can just walk right out of that section wielding the chainsaw and never fire a bullet. Now I am on normal setting and not hardcore or insane yet, but please. The lead in was like I had one hell-of-a battle coming up and Dom and I would be waist deep in shell casings and ??? gore... Nada casings, nada gore (save the chainsaw cut-scenes), and nada intense adrenaline rush. Hmmm.

Ok, besides that... I am still loving the game and having a blast... It will be one of those that I play through on every difficulty setting delve into the online play...

@warrengonline

Got your message, I'm usually on evenings CST around 9 or so. Love to hook up and frag some locust!

One thing that I am a little dissapointed with is the meat shield. For some reason I think I was expecting something more out of it, and I am not very good with the pistol so it is difficult for me to really take advantage of it. But with that said, I am loving the game and it will keep me occupied for some time, at least until Christmas when another game comes my way.

Deal with the 'glitchers', give one warning. If they do not respond, just go to their profile and give a Gamer Review - that will make it less likely for you to be quick matched with them again. I did that when I ran into glitches from part one. I would also drop out and state it in the room right before I'd drop so they know why I dropped out.

@Anon 52

Thanks!! That was some good reading. What fool, no, no, wait, that's too strong of a word, what idiot, hmmm, no still too strong, what greedy, inconsiderate game developer would even CONSIDER putting a game's conclusion in DLC format?

I mean, c'mon, when I let a friend borrow a game, I really do not expect him/her to HAVE to download ANYTHING to play the game. IF that ever happens, I'll just state now, I'll wait. True I do buy LIMITED EDITIONS and I like the feeling of being exclusive and/or having most of 'it' all. Soul Calibur IV proved its worth with the One-Use Code. Fable 2 Limited Edition, well...(I really wanted that tin).. Um, next week we have an announcement and I'll leave it at that. DLC give me extra 'stuffs' (weapons, types of bullets, textures, maps, music, characters, levels (not to be confused with maps), clothes, costumes, accessories, sex (male, female, no sex - it). The list can go on and on. Hey, change day to night, clear to rainy or snowy. But make sure it is something worth downloading and not so big in file size when possible. GO GEARS!

And the deliberate glitching begins. Well, clean gaming lasted for almost a full week! DAMN YOU EPIC!

@XGC The Doctor

You're missing out on a great game. Also, who said you HAD to buy it. Rent it! Or be cheap like my cousins, borrow it from me.... err a friend.

great game but the match making sucks a little any 1 agree

A fantastic title, though anyone finding it hard to matchmake?

I just hope they fix the online matchmaking soon and by that I don't just mean the search time, I mean the way it picks host because every since yesterday I have yet to play a lag free game. Every game has been EXTREMELY laggy to the point where it's unplayable and I have been forced to play the campaign with my brother.

I haven't tried match making yet, system link multiplayer has been working great for me and my friends

I've had 20 something achievements so far I think, seriously 2.0 is going to take a while though as I'm only on around 3000 kills so far lol

Its such a great game, I'm addicted. I'd be more addicted if I got to play the game more than wait for matchmaking however.
