I just finished Gears 2 and all I can say is: how the hell has no one mentioned that the last boss is so extremely easy? It took me all of 30 seconds to beat, if that. I remember dying over and over against Raam, and I never once lost a life or even came close with this thing. That was a thoroughly disappointing end to an otherwise epic climax.

I suppose it is probably harder on a higher difficulty. After all, I was playing on Normal. But again, even Raam poses a challenge on his Normal difficulty level.

Of course, I fully intend to ramp up the difficulty for my second playthrough. I always keep my first run tame so I can get through with the story, then play later for the challenge.

But man... really. I don't know weither or not I just got lucky... I can't believe it. Oh, but the game as a whole: still a masterpiece.
