    The impossible 6 star rating?

    The E3 demo looked really damned good. So I'm expecting GOTY material out of this.

    I don't think they give half stars, so my guess is 5.

    I don't like to speculate about how a game will be rated before it has been released.

    P.S. Kudos to Hulk for his commitment.

    They don't give half-star ratings.

    If the game is as good as the original, it will be in the five-star range.

    Could be, since it's a 5/5

    I think 3/5 is more likely though

    Well, Gears 2 looks to be even better than Gears 1, and that game was awesome, so.

    To answer your question, probably 5/5.

    Ya they dont give half stars. That would totally defeat the purpose of their rating system. Because its supposed to be simple. Live and learn though

    I think their going to give it 5 stars. They all seemed to be really excited about it at E3. And Im sure if its better then the first one then they will be able to classify it as a "must buy"

    Right now? At this very moment?

    Hopefully a zero seeing as it's not out yet. Or perhaps a 15.257 zebras out of 225 maple leaves. That would make me happy.

    I think they will give it 5 stars. They gave Battlefield a 5 and I believe Gears 1 was better than Battlefield.

    That's a good point. 5/5, but I hope Jeff gives a well rounded review.  I like this rating system better, because it is more general. It is like a hotel. A 4-star game is like a 4-star hotel almost, but not quite

    I like GiantBomb's style of reviewing, if it's a really good game, it'll get  5 stars. They know the written review tells more then a number. And I'm 100% sure GiantBomb will give Gears 2 5 stars.

    Gamespot, IGN, and Gametrailers will give it an 11/10 and Giant Bomb will give it a 6/5.

    It will be that good. :P

    I'm going to guess 5/5 since 5/5 is pretty much saying the game is worth trying for anyone, and it can be a great experience, not that the games perfect.

    considerring they only use a 5 point scale, my guess is a 5/5

    Resistance 2 5/5
    killzone 2 5/5
    LBP 5/5
    Fable 2 5/5
    Fallout 3 5/5
    Resident Evil 5 5/5

    It's a tough call.  My own impressions of the game lead me to believe it to be a 5 star. It won't be perfect, but it will be more of the same with a whole lot of tweaks and new hitches. Considering how great the first game was, that is pretty much what I want the game to be in the first place though. I think Giant Bomb staff will rate it the same. That or a 4.5 for the above mentioned reasons, if seen as a flaw.

    Although I don't see much of a point in trying to guess what someone else will think of the game. All that matters in the end is what you think of the game.

    If Gerstmann reviews it, then a 5.
