[QUOTE="shabazz5th"]well IGN gave both R2 and GOW2 a 9.5...will be interesting to see how the GS reviews pan out for both.Mau-Justice
I really expect Gamespot to cop out and do the same.
I knock IGN for it more because they are on a .1 scale compared to GS .5 I think they just didn't want to rate one higher than the other and start an outrage either way.
Either way, I really think R2 will score higher. I'm really impressed with the R2 changes. I didn't even like the first one but can't wait to pick this one up. I loved the first Gears, but I don't think the second one added enough to the equation. They also used "destructible cover" a little too loosely...the cover takes damage, but it doesn't break away. That's not destructible at all to me, and that was what I was most excited about of all the new additions. Cliffy B you let me down.
Well, Gears 2 looks fun to be sure... my only issue with reviews is the fact that everyone is giving it a pass on the fact that not much has changed since the first one. Where as games like R&C are knocked for that same reason... even though both franchises still pack plenty of fun. I think the environments look better in Gears 2, and the online looks improved... but the core game is the same.
