This is the worst game you can buy ever, the graphics are very low, the music sucks, the story is boring, its a combination of an RPG and a Shooter! The multiplayer is slow, the menus are confusing, and the weapons suck.
Plus there is extremely too much blood, if you kill someone, your screen fills with blood and you can`t see that in then next second, a guy behind you turns you to pìeces.
Dont buy this game.
What's great about it: NOTHING!
What's not so great: Everything! It a third person shooter!

The game started out great but freezes the Xbox during game play. Eventually the game caused the "Red Ring of Death" and I had to use my extended service plan to replace it. Microsoft's site of course makes no mention of any problems reported.
What's great about it: Don't know... can't play it

Remember this is coming from a guy that stood in line the night of the release of this game...the multiplayer is a joke because they changed it completely from gears one which messed up everything especially one on one combat. Its constantly choppy and if you don't wanna play the same four-five maps online you have the shell out about $30. This game doesn't take much skill so if you are casual gamer you might like it but people who take serious such as myself find this game a absolute failure. The game was rushed the only good parts are in the campaign. The melees online are so random and the shots I just wouldn't recommend to anyone...wait for new call of duty game for a shooter. I mean it use to be terrible when it first came out they have fixed a few things it just doesn't cut it for me.
What's great about it: the campaign thats about it oh and the party system is decent.
What's not so great: multiplayer, the shotgun, maps lag, randomness, choppy gameplay

I played through the first game solo and with a buddy. The gameplay itself was awesome, especially doing it co-op. I loved the skill based reload. And the graphics were VERY impressive. But I have two complaints, that I hope they fix for the sequel. The first one being, the story. They hardly explained anything in the game. I had no idea what was going on, aside from the some bug/aliens came out of the ground and needed to die. I didn't know that the game wasn't set on Earth, untill after I beat it and looked on the internet. I'd just like to see the story fleshed out some more. My second complaint, is multiplayer. I'll probably get flamed for this, but hear me out. The cover system is awesome, my complaint isn't with the game itself. On paper or in theory the cover system is a sound idea. But when you incorporate the internet and people with it, you get people camping. I stopped playing the game because every game i joined the other players would just camp. The first game was great, but not perfect. However, I do look forward to the sequel and what it will bring to the table.
What's great about it: Graphics! Gameplay! and skill based reload!
What's not so great: no explination of story. Mulitplayer : (

The actual gameplay looks so similar to the first game it's ridiculous. Do not get me wrong, there are in fact some new features. I got to see Marcus Fenix grab a locust and use him for cover which was pretty bada$$. Still, I think they could have done more for the game. With such a highly anticipated title and so little new to the franchise, I can't really say the game is going to be good or bad. I know it can't be a bad game because the first one was incredible. It was such a milestone for gaming. The graphics we saw on Gears of War are the same graphics we will see on Gears of War 2. I know thats hard for you people to believe but i'm only speaking the truth. Gears of War also had very tedious gameplay at times. I'm just pulling for a good lobby system in Gears of War 2 like they had on Gears of War. I will be purchasing this game though. No reserve for me though.
What's great about it: It's a Gears of War title, so it can't be bad
What's not so great: It's a Gears of War title, so it can't be new
