    Just wondering what everyone thinks of the new gears of war 2?

    I love it but does anyone else feel that your opponents have far less AI compared to Gears of War 1? maybe its just me.

    Housemate and his cousin played it for a few hours last night.

    In their words "amazing, much more like an interactive movie than a shooter. Not all about cover like GOW1"

    After Ut3 Epic = T3h Suck

    Its a pity since GOW is one I wanted to play before they decided to screw their PC community.

    It's awesome, simply amazing. Probably the most graphically stunning game seen on this generation of consoles with gameplay to match. The multiplayer is brilliant, although there's a fair few dickheads playing it.

    Graphics are a bit nicer than Gears 1, but still far from the best of this generation.
    Tried playing it while drunk just now and it wasn't all that amusing, gears of snore tbh!

    Its Gears of War 1 with a 2 at the end

    Played it for 1 hour, and just like its predeccessor, turned it off and went back to the PC.

    Sitting on my shelf with Guitar Hero World Tour gathering dust since the day they were both released, same day i think

    I <3 it.

    Bloody brilliant game. Seems much more immersive than Gears1 was, like you're actually part of something bigger.

    Horde is cracking fun.

    Only made it to level4 last night in splitscreen co-op. :(

    Is there anyway to split the screen vertically in splitscreen anyone know?

    I consider Gears of War along with Call of Duty and Oblivian as the unholy trinity in modern gaming

    Or constantly pistol whipping them with a Magnum.
    The enemies were useless though. I mean Locusts?

    Locust aren't so bad.
    Much rather them then Grunts and the Flood.
