1 out of 5 stars Another Over hyped Over-rated game!   November 12, 2008

Well I waited and waited for this game and just like Fallout 3 and Fable 2 it was over-hyped and overrated! These games are making money off of their titles! I am not writing a review and blasting this game for any hidden motive, at the end of this review you will not read what game I think should be the game of the year. I think the intentions of this game were good but they were not executed... The multiplayer was horrible taking forever and a day to load! The graphics were great but the overall game affects were not even close to par. There was some major lagging, I have to say the weapons are the only reason this game would even get a 1 star.... If you can honestly say ( once you have a good 10 hrs in this game ) u enjoy it then it is a total biased review. the game is repetitive! Anyway I am sure some of the GOW followers will blow this up and say how biased I am, but if it makes them feel any better I loved GOW 1! I think if this was not a sequeal to the amazing GOW 1 it should at least get a 3 star ratign, however all of the build up and that kinda stuff lowered my rating b/c of the game its self.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Sequel   November 12, 2008

Definitely one of the best games i've played this year..Graphics are insane, physics are slightly better, more weapons and smarter A.I's etc..multiplayer can be a pain at times with load times up to 5 minutes and some games can be laggy at times but still pretty fun..


3 out of 5 stars The single player campaign is great, multiplayer not so much.   November 12, 2008

The single player campaign is solid with a good, but incredibly dark, story. It has much more variety of both environments and vehicles to drive (don't want to spoil anything) than it's predecessor. The improved weapons sounds lend real weight to the guns used. The visuals are dazzling.

That being said, the multiplayer is horrible. It takes nearly 5 minutes on average to find a game on any settings. Lag can be incredibly frustrating and debilitating at times with players and monsters lag jumping 10 feet at a time and watching motionless characters skate across the map. My other games work fine with my DSL connection. I can only conclude that it is crappy coding in the game.



5 out of 5 stars Great game   November 12, 2008

This sequel is awesome. If you liked the first one, then definitely get this one. The graphics are amazing, gameplay is good, multiplayer is still solid, not to mention all of the new executions. There is still some lag on multiplayer but no more than I noticed on the first one. People are saying that they are getting bored quickly. Apparently they dont attempt to raise the difficulty. If you raise the difficulty, then you will enjoy the game. Great game overall, of course it is very hard to top the first one, but still 5 star review.


2 out of 5 stars Mutiplayer failed.   November 11, 2008

The graphic was good the game play is very responsive, and the weapons are cools. With all of that said the multiplayer failed. I buy shooter to play with other people not with AI or BOT, it boring after a while. Hordes will keep you busy with your friends but when you done, good luck. In average it usually take +5 min just to get a match in multiplayer. A very poor job by MS and Epic. According to the respond "They are working on it.", what a joke?, they should had never release the game knowing they have problem. You figure when they ran a beta, it should be one of the piority of many bug to fix in the game. Wasted my $60 for a $30 game, just wait till it go half people, at least by that time they might fix their problem by then.
