"Looks great, plays decent."
2.0 starson by jsimonson360Pros: Graphics graphics graphics! Blood & guts never gets old, open areas definitely make the game seem more epic. I like the storyline a bit better this time.
Cons: Slow down, glitches, unoriginal experience.
Summary: I've been a loyal 360 player for 3 years now. GOW was definitely a must have. But from playing GOW2, I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed. It's not that the game isn't a lot of fun, it's just that it's really not that much better then the original IMO. I definitely noticed some slowdown issues from time to time, and my system did crash twice.
Yes it is original, and yes the 360 hardware is unreliable ... that said, it has a 1 year head start on the PS3 so I think it'll be interesting to see what happens in 2009 ... thought sales of PS3 have been overtaking 360 this year so I'm worried that yes the 360 days of glory are kinda over.
I read bubbles review and he/she/it is obviously biased ... that said, I got to admit that the 360 hardware isn't really quality --- I mean when it came out it was great -- but I myself am on my second system, and that's cause my original one got a RROD about 1 year into it.
I've recently picked up a PS3 as it has, IMO, better exclusives out now then Microsoft. I'd still probably recommend GOW2 to someone who doesn't have the OG version.

I must admit I picked up my first PS3 last month as there are so many exclusives out that I must have!

First of all the 360 has a huge lead on the ps3 and its glory days are definatly not over. secondly you havnt played the game, so why dont you get the hell off this website and go play your ps3.

I applaud that you actually played the game. It's your oppinion if you like it or not that's why your writing the review. But if you say you would recommend the game, why give only 2/5?

Another PS3 looooser! You do not have any good games in that console... at least you can watch King Kong in Blue Ray. Are you trying to play Gears of War in your PS3 so at least you can get the best out of it???

This review is such utter BS.
1. You reviewed this game without playing.
2. You are taking the "impartial" stance to hock the PS3.
3. Nobody gives a **** about what you think about the PS3 or 360 hardware. Its not like either platform just came out. -
why are you reviewing this game with everyone knowing you haven't played it yet??
