Epic did it agian, this time ten-fold! Game play is smoother, graphics are tighter and game play is amazing. Haven't been a fan for long but I'm in awe at the work put in! Character development scores huge points, as well as the voice over work, it was on point. I might have a new all time favorite game, not since Red Faction and the first Halo have I been this passionate about a game. The ending wasn't as EPIC as anticipated but none the less, I was happy to see my troops come home! I can't wait for GOW3! FRAG THE LOCUST and CLAIM VICTORY!
What's great about it: fast paced shoot em' up game play with a sense of patriotism!
What's not so great: The ending wasn't as epic as anticipated.
