Re: Probably why I haven't bought GoW2...

In Response To: Re: Probably why I haven't bought GoW2... (Lord Osiris)


Definitely worth a rental. I bought it because I have the first GoW and I'm a set collecting whore. Honestly, I found the game to be enjoyable. It had a really nice amount of variation and the story was lightyears ahead of the first game's, though it's still not a deep as Halo's universe, but Halo's depth mainly comes from the novels, since the games themselves are built on allusion and hinting of greater depth.

But my biggest points of frustration? GoW2's vehicle portions. Some are AWESOME (mainly the ones with non-chaingun weapon options) but the ones with turrets, like the Reaver chase, have an odd schizophrenic quality to their difficulty. I think most of the points where I became really angry and wanted to throw the controller all came from parts of the game dealing with firing mounted turrets (or the first fight with Skorge). The game as a whole has way too inconsistent of a difficulty level.

I have yet to really try GoW2's mutliplayer. Every time I think about it...I wind up popping in Halo 3, lol. Go figure.
