This is a pre-release comment, but holy cow. I've been watching all of the online videos about the campaign, horde mode and multiplayer, and i was just blown away. I still play gears 1 which is great, but gears 2 i think will blow everyones minds. With the new 5-on-5 multiplayer, the matches will be much more intense, and more strategized. Along with horde mode, and the story line, this game will be #1 for sure. Now in gears 2, the achievements are much easier. You can basically get all of your achievements in horde, campaign, and in online mathches: ranked or player. Overall this game is a knockout, Fallout 3 isnt s*** compared to this.
What's great about it: Great story line, horde mode, and new multiplayer
