    What you think about that statement?
    I recently finished both the games with my friend on insane, and we thought the sequel was harder, especially the part where you get shot by mortars.
     
    What is your opinion?

    never finished the first one on insane (didnt have live at the time).  Finished the second one on insane with my friend and thought it was fairly easy when we got a feel for the difficulty (although he died alot more than me).

    I thought GoW1 was harder because GoW2's cover system is 100% better.

    Although I never played Insane (at least not much), in Gears of War 2, I don't think it's harder to be honest. It's longer, and there are instances where you'll bound to die more than you'd like to. I've only play a few sections of Gears 2 on Insane, and I don't know if I'll be able to beat it by myself. Then again, I'm trying to go for the co-op achievements (eventually, and with a second controller idle).
     
    I beat Gears 1 on Insane by myself, wasn't too hard.

    Agreed.  I had a much easier time with Gears 2 on insane, although both are pretty simple if you are patient and have a buddy playing with you.

    Gears 2 is much, much easier there seemed to be a lot less places for the enemies to flank you... and they  don't seem to blindly rush you as much as they did in the first game. 
     
    I cannot remember anything as tough in 2 as the parts where you ahd to avoid exploding wretches and of course RAAM

    Insane isn't impossible. My experience is that their are certain tiny parts of the campaign are really annoying, meaning I would have to do that one part over and over because I kept dying.

    I will add that we kinda cheated on GoW 2, by letting one off us play on causal and the other one on insane :)
     
    The one playing on causal could always do crazy runs,haha

    I actually found GoW2 to be much easier than GoW1.  I blazed through it with no problem on hardcore.  Haven't tried Insane yet, though.

    I agree, and having better AI teammates in the sequel doesn't hurt either.

    The AI still sucked, but I guess it was better in a way.

    Gears 1's difficulty was felt infinitely harder than 2's. (at least for me) Due mainly to the ability to crawl to your teammate as opposed to having them running out into the shit storm that downed you in the first place.

    Gears 1 was harder for me. That stupid section with the vehicle is nearly impossible by yourself...
