Gearheads of War

i think the story was long enought for the game.  i dont likt the games where you have to watch the 10 min cut scene in between acts to know whats going on.  beside gears game play is so good that i really didnt think to much about the story while i was playing the game.  i dont need to know everything about the main character, i just need to know why hes fighting and the basic story.
