This is one of those games where you cannot simply sit for 15 minutes here and there and expect to get the full enjoyment out of it. Expect to play for like 90 plus hours to explore everything, and even then you can go back to a certain place later in the game and there be new enemies, treasures, etc. The ability to do almost anything you want, where you want it and when, it makes for an incredible experience. You can do countless different missions for different factions, all with varylying levels of difficulty, or you can just putz around the entire game and never complete a single mission and it will still be fun (but I'd recommend joining factions and completing missions). So the vastness of the game will keep you entertained for countless hours. The bad parts are the caves, mines, ayelid ruins, and forts. They all look the same for the most part. I mean they are still fun and all, but they LOOK the same, even though theres different enemies in each ones and some special NPC's. The only final gripe I have, and this is exclusive to the xbox 360, are the load times if you have a ton of saves. Its even worse if you are traversion the countryside with a horse, every 10 seconds will say "loading data" and hang for a couple seconds. In caves, towns and such its fine, but can be a big time annoyance when out in the countryside. This is one game where the xbox 360 version is inferior to the PS3 version. Regardless, its still a fun game, and if you enjoyed Fallout 3, youll love this one too.
What's great about it: Vast area to explore, such extreme detail to everything
What's not so great: caves, castles, mines etc all look too similar, load times
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you played FEAR 1 youll notice its inferior in story line and gameplay. The gore factor has definitely notched up. But thats not to say this isnt fun. There just really isnt anything that sticks out about this game. Its FUN dont get me wrong, but nothing spectacular. Theres a few moments where youll jump back in your seat. Theres really only a couple guns that are helpful, the rest dont really help you out that much (shotgun, handgun, just to name a couple, so keep that machine gun ammo full). Graphics are great as well, which is think is definitely better than the first. If you enjoyed the first FEAR, youll most likely enjoy this, you will not be disappointed.
What's great about it: Fun, quite scary, fun watching guys explode when killing them
What's not so great: You move extremely slow, which can get annoying

This is a very fun game if you enjoyed the first one. They didnt add too much but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Controls are identical, which is a good thing. A few new enemies. A good solid shooter.
What's great about it: Very fun, CHAINSAW, stunning on an HDTV
What's not so great: Not much added onto it from GOW 1

Hands down one of the best games this year

This is hands down one of the best games I have ever played for the 360. The whole karma point system is a great idea. You can be an evil, good, or neutral character, all of which have their ups and downs. For instance, some NPC's will join you only if you are evil, some only if your are good etc etc. If you are expecting this to be another Halo game then look elsewhere. There are a ton of enemies, but nothing like a non stop action game like Halo. The sheer vastness of the "Capital Wasteland" is enough to keep you playing for hours on end. (About 60-80 hours give or take to explore EVERYTHING). This game, I can only gripe about a couple little things. Easy and normal modes are just a tad too easy after you get the hang of things. Once you catch onto everything, towards the end of the game (after about 40-50 hours of gametime) youll be killing everything with a little too much ease, which can take away from the challenge a little. Also, some of the NPC's who can follow you (and especially a large one in particular who you may encounter later in the storyline) can be quite idiotic at times. Either taking the long way around drops or steps, or thinking they're Rambo and run into a group of enemies only to get themselves killed. Also, and this doesnt happen very often, you can get stuck in tight quarters with no way of getting out, and are forced to load at an earlier saved game. So SAVE OFTEN. This IS a long game, where, if explored fully, can consume at least 60 hours of your time. Overall, I give this game a 9/10. You will not be disappointed.
What's great about it: Incredibly fun action, vast lands to explore,
What's not so great: Not very difficult on Easy and normal settings,
I would recommend this to a friend!
