Never have I been into a shooter so much, Incredible!

User Rating: 9.5 | Gears of War 2 X360
Let me first start off by saying, I've just got my Xbox 360 about 3 weeks ago, at first I was being a little fanboyish about getting one, and I thought most of the games were hype.

I played GoW2 at a friends house about 2 weeks ago, I was suddenly into it and since I couldn't hold my friends copy(it's his dad's actually) I went to buy my own. I have to say that I shouldn't have waited so long, this game is incredible, and all a 3rd person shooter should be, what I've dreamed of. Never have I thought I would be so into a gritty shooter like this, the story, the atmosphere and the characters makes this game so incredible. It's more than just a game... It's an experience! The shooting, the covering system, everything works right, and comes together in this beautiful package of a game. I would have to say, that this game has to be my favorite so far in the shooter genre, through all the shooters I have played so far, Gears takes the cake. Never have I been owned so many times in a game, laughed it off and went in for some more, IT'S JUST THAT GOOD!

In the graphics department, this game is way splendid, when reavers jumped in front of me, I wowed every time, it never wore off, just seeing this graphical feat each time was just a "WOW" experience and makes the game part of what it is. Playing Gears 2 makes me want to go and pick up the first, and makes me all more optimistic for the future of this franchise.

Epic games! I love you guys!
