    It looks absolutely fantastic graphically but I have to say i really hate that style of gameplay (defending a moving platform). Plus i'm disappointed that you don't seem to be able to play a big role in taking down the big baddies.
    Loved the locust shield bit though :)

    I know, i'm only commenting on that section. I fully expect the game to be fantastic i just hope that there are not a load of levels like that where you feel you're a spectator. Plus it's just my personal view, i'm sure there are people that like that sort of gameplay.

    I like the way you can duel someone else with a chainsaw that should get fun in multiplayer as will using guys as shields.

    Wow looks like a decent step up in scale from the last game! Looking foward to it: for dumbass action and the whole "10 seconds of gameplay repeated hundreds of times" factor, I think GoW did it a helluva lot better than another franchise that follows the same formula.
