Can't wait for three! Amazing game. Must have. Fun online but is very hard and weird at first. I quit playing online but you might like it. Half way first person, halfway second person view. A halfbody view. That's not second person, that would be seeing your front. Like when you run to the bottom of the screen on an rpg free-roam game.
What's great about it: Very fun, neat game. Awesome online.

So overall, this game isn't too bad. The story leaves much to be desired, but that's not what I play this game for. This is simply a balls to the wall gorefest.
There is a good range of weapons in the game from pistols and machine guns to grenade launchers and flamethrowers. Your most used gun will likely be the Lancer, a semi-automatic rifle with a chainsaw in place of a bayonet. It's the most versatile gun in the game, with the chainsaw perfect for taking out enemies up close.
The story didn't draw me in too much. There's some heartbreak and "twist" moments, but nothing that I didn't expect might happen. Some of the enemies you face are simply annoying (i.e. wretches), especially when the game throws about 20 at you and they're all easily killed. The final boss is incredibly easy, as long as you can hold your trigger finger down you've won half the battle (the other half being to wait a couple minutes). And don't get me wrong, some of the Locust are a pain to take down, but as long as you've got a wall to stay behind, you won't be in any immediate danger.
The redeeming quality of this game is being able to play in Co-op mode and take on the hordes of enemies with a friend. Another would be... well... Horde mode!, where you fight against increasingly difficult and numerous waves of Locust.
In the end I'd just say rent it, or play it with a friend who owns it (like me).

the trailer looks amazing. all new ways to kill an enemy. the graphics are redesigned and are better. hope they take more about the story. and have more levels. co-op should go better. hope the guns are newer to. looks like it is going to be a platinum hit. pre-order will be the best idea

Well here comes the best reborn. I honestly do not know how you can write a review of a gam that hasn't even come out yet but oh well.... Like all the new modes and ideas, different finish moves, new weapons and finaly some more story behind. Also music finaly feels like it is movie (what I missed most in first gears story). But honestly as great as Gears is the amount of glitches (you can get out of any map, roadie runs, weapon slides, etc) is unsurpassed.I just hope it won't turn out the same way with GoW2. They promise stars and they forget about the spaceship. By the way we already know about host advantage and that this game will be the most played online for some time so wtf happened to dedicated servers, anyone?? 1 star down for that...
What's great about it: Graphics, new multiplayer modes, harder difficulty
What's not so great: Kids playing 18+ rated game, no dedicated server (again..)
