Just thought I create a thread for the gameand to give my opinion on it.
So I sat down with a friend the other day, closed the 360 disk tray with GOW2 inside. Running through the horde mode quickly before actually playing any campaign blew me away, the stunning graphics and seeing how Epic games have put into play the "meat cube" technology, lol at the way mulchers turn locusts into tiny bits - Who needs a Campaign when you have this? Also how they built on the bases of the gameplay introduced to us in Gears 1, things like the down but not out - crawling around leaving a nasty blood trail, 11 new different ways to curb stomp, planting grenades, the new weapons, destructive environment and what me and friend named the "epic run", which doesn't automatically assume when you press A you want to be in cover rather than to be running across a battlefield and its easier to turn while in epic run mode. At the start of the campaign a few new characters were introduced and most were at the best dismissable Epic games seems to start building some interesting characters and just throws them away, Tai a seemingly undeterrable character is destined to die, and mysteriously Dizzy disappears and if he were to pop up again his southern drawl would be welcome. Most of the new locust were great but the sires seemed like a massive waste of time, just a horde of drones that do a minimal damage anyway - the part in the campaign with the sires is an endless bore, when you eventually get jumped on by the masses of Sires theres a quick remedy called constantly holding down "B". Scorge, the boss - another let-down, a few quick skirmishes and he was - Gone, Done. Give me General Raam anyday. A few small disappointments in what is still to be one of the greatest sequels in a long time.
Though the introduction to the series was extremely epicand mindboggling, it also left me asking myself a lot of unanswered questions and having no doubt that there was to be a sequel. Some of these questions were answered like those of Doms past, whether the lightmass bomb actually did that much damage and some information about Marcus's father. But really there were much more questions to be asked after the second than there were answered, maybe next time a bit more background information is given and more questions are answered, bring on the Trilogy.
Whats some of your disappointments, exploits, adventures and enjoyments in the latest of the Series?
