Corcaigh Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 The reviews look great (average 9.8). I wasn't a huge fan of the first one, but by all accounts this one is worth the purchase. http://games.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1942/Gears-of-War-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueinBuf Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Having a blast playing horde mode with a couple friends. Single player seems cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuong9 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 i have a ps3 and xbox 360i'm torn on whether to get gow2 or resistance 2 any thoughts? (answer "assuming" i cant get both) That's pretty tough. Fanboys are probably going to tell you to get one or the other, but they are pretty much equal with their own unique advantages. It'd probably be best to read up on them yourself to see which one you find more interesting, because there isn't a distinct "better" one. I only have the PS3 so I have to get Resistance 2.

Sticksboi05 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 You can't go wrong with either Resistance 2 or Gears of War 2; both great "alien shooters" with outstanding multiplayer modes. I however will forego both and get Call of Duty: World At War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Harris Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 So can you not play split screen online with guests anymore? i'm pretty sure you can. at least i think i remember seeing it in the video review of ign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yeah, they got that bull**** halo/cod lobby now. One of the biggest reasons I loved GOW was their co-op multiplayer. Now all the matches are private and you have to invite friends to play. Can't pick your own games anymore. Not liking this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all the matches are private and you have to invite friends to play. Can't pick your own games anymore. Not liking this at all. I haven't really got into playing online. I hated GoW online before not having a lobby to invite friends. I love Halo's approach. Set up a party you want then enter the game, rather than randomly jumping into game and hoping you can toggle yourself on the same team. If you wanted a custom game then you can create your own game to play with friends. Again I am more familiar with Halo 3 than GoW2, but much favored Halo3 to GoW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yeah, it's Halo's approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueinBuf Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yeah so far not liking the multiplayer if I'm trying to just play by myself, it's good if you want to play with friends though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jofizz Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Beat the game last night. Story mode is excellent. My favorite feature on the game is Horde mode. Fun to play with a few friends on Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinz4Life12 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 got this game instead of COD5. its freaking awesome. story mode is excellent. horde mode is a lot of fun. and online is addicting as hell!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81artmonk Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Graphics are really good. game play is the same as GOW1. It's not a game that blows me away. Honestly, Dead Space so far is the best game of the year for me!!! I can't wait for prince of persia. Since the sands of time series, I think it is one of the most original games in game play, being interesting and challenging all at once. Mirrors edge looks really interesting too.

Toe Jam Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Anyone play Mirror's Edge yet? It had potential but didn't really live up to it's possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonCampbell177 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 My friend got it and been playing a ton of online at his house, it's intense but i think too many people use the chainsaw, I love it but it is overused. haha I like the noobs who come up to me with the chainsaw already revved and i just blast them with the shotgun.

pedigroove Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I can't wait to play GOW2. I loved the first one but didn't play online much. I was Halo all the way until COD4 came out and I haven't played Halo since. My roommate got Mirror's Edge and it looks sweet when I watch him play. I haven't had a chance to try it myself. I just have to wait for Gamefly to send GOW2, or pony up and buy it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I will definately be getting GoW2. I loved the first one. Has anybody bought Fallout 3? I thought that one looked great in the trailers and screen shots. Is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Anyone play Mirror's Edge yet?It had potential but didn't really live up to it's possibilities. I haven't played it, but that seems to be the consensus on it. I read that the game lasted a whopping 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I will definately be getting GoW2. I loved the first one. Has anybody bought Fallout 3? I thought that one looked great in the trailers and screen shots. Is it any good? I've found Fallout 3 to be pretty boring for the most part and I hate the combat. A ton of people love it though and the reviews were great so maybe it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
