As many of you may or may not know, i got Gears of War 2 yesterday at my local 7 Eleven.
First and foremost, may all the thankfulness of the world go to David Ellis, who is a legend among men.
Now to the good stuff. I have to right this before heading off to the same old grind today, so i am going to list facts about Gears 2 (opinions?) based on my time with the game.
Less' do dis.
- Graphics: Omg. There seems to be little additions to everything that make the game seriously shine. Especially with all the new variations in environments. The amount of blood is also crazy. Super colorful! And on top of it all, little touches like destructable environments add A LOT. Lots of new animations as well!
- Gameplay: Playing the game for the first time, it felt Different. But after 5-10 minutes, it was unbelievable and i was in constant awe. This is one of the best feeling shooter games. Picking a dude up as a meat sheild is the most efficient tactic in the game so far.
- Multiplayer: Have barely played any, BUT... Machete hosted a game that i joined, and i had no bullet lag at all. He is in New Jersey, I am in Washington.
- Audio: MY FAVORITE ADDITION. Every gun holds so much more weight. The snob pistol sounds ridiculous EVERY SHOT. And you watch the bullet trail.
The cutscenes are amazing, the guns are SICK. Everything is balanced and solid. Matchmaking is like Halo's system, where you are all in a lobby before campaign, horde etc.
This is the best game i have ever played. Bar none.
There will be no going back to Gears of War 1. There would be no reason at all. This is everything that game represented and MORE.
Peace and Love!
