Gears of War 2

Loved the original, can't wait for the sequel. Graphics look awesome and I'm loving the "rail" scenes. Not sure why people complained about this in the reviews.

I just ordered Fable and Fallout-I am hoping those will keep me busy until Christmas and GoW2 will be on my Christmas list.

I was thrilled when the first one came out, beat it on insane and never played it again. It was an awesome game, but I couldn't get into the multiplayer. I preferred R6 Vegas 2 as far as technical shooters went. I may still try it out though

She just arrived a day early! The boy is tearing it up right now. Gonna play some when my cigar is done.

Geez, I still haven't played the first one yet. I better put CoD4 aside and get a move on.

I have the same problem. It's hard for me to get into new games because I'm hopelessly addicted to COD4.

I guess I shouldn't mention there was a "version" flying around WEEKS ago. Need a "tweaked" 360 for it though.

I think the new online play is absolutely crap. You can't pick the type of game or the level or anything. Unless you are in a private match the connections can suck, they pick hosts after the fact and if you are playing people from other countries you can be screwed. Horde is very fun and gets crazy around 30 or so. I just wish the online game play kept up with the graphics.

Ditto.. the multiplayer was pretty bad imo, not to mention the people that played it.

R6V kept me busy for many many many hours online though.

Personally with so many other top tier titles hitting the shelves, this one is amidst a lengthy list, and definitely not on the top of it. If they canned another 4 and a half hour Campaign into the disc, I'll be seriously disappointed.

Thank you, I thought that I was the only person who was not as impressed with this game as everybody else. A buddy of mine is getting GoW2 and is letting me borrow it when he is done. We will see then

Anybody played it yet?

Actually, I was never much a fan either. The only reason it ever got played is cause I had friends who were always on. I didn't enjoy it very much, too repetitive.
