You know, I ha vent put up a post in a solid 14 days cause I suck. I do realize this, yet I still feel like I should put more effort into this thing that no one reads.MY whining is not important, what is important is that now that the dust has settled from the Gears 2 launch I wish to share my thoughts. This pertains to single player AND multi player. Let me first start off with the co-op experience ( this game, like its predecessor, is not meant to be played alone) is pretty epic. While the plot is still pretty bare bones, I do respect the attempt, albeit at times unnecessary, to create some emotion. Case in point with Tai later in the game. While I wont give anything away, what goes down is pretty powerful, and it definitely added a new level to the emotion in the story. What is disappointing is that after that they don't really mention him too much. But see here is my other point. It doesn't matter that they dont because they don't need to. This game is not trying to enthrall you in character development or other aspects of quality story telling. This is a game about conflict, and everything that isn't conflict is either leading to it or post mortem. Its a fun solid ride that I feel surpasses the 1st in so many ways.
As for the multiplayer I will get back to you in a bit... Sorry!!!
