I was not pleased with how Gears 2 played out. I think the story allowed for me to care about Dom more and we got to see some softer moments with Marcus because of it which I was fine with. Mainly, the game felt very mediocre to me. Yeah, I was shooting at locust and using meat shields, getting into chainsaw duels, grenade tagging and launching mortars from far away but that was decent fun at best. Beyond that, I hated every single boss battle definitely including the final boss.
I just didn't think that the whole 'More is Better' approach worked on this game. I didn't feel that any part of the game was epic, yeah I got to try out some new weapons but it was mediocre fight sequences interrupted constantly by the female chick in the game, and then followed by horrible boss battles.
I sincerely hope that Epic does some heavy refining going into Gears 3 because they do have good ideas in mind. I just don't feel that they were executed well.
Oh and Epic, please bring back the Kryll and Berserkers. They were two of the coolest enemies in the first game and they get replaced by Razorhail and Sires?? Seriously?
