Well, just an hour ago I experianced the first Gears of War 2 gameplay, and i must say, (unlike my first impressions of the first Gears game, which were unimpressed) I was blown away. This has evolved from whatever kind of notions that the first game inspired of being a shooter with a third person twist, this is now a new kind of game, a hectic, gory, multiple-chainsaw-kills sort of game. The video focused on a level called Assault, in which our cog friends are "tanking" their way into a city infested by locusts, and in a new twist to the gears world, is going to be sucked underground by a freaking massive emergence whole (holy crap moment). The trailer featured new enemies, such as vehicles reminiscent to the sentinals in the matrix movies and, of course, the giant monster thing at the end of the first gears game (and of which you pc gamers out there got to fight). New "doodads" in the game are a "locust shield" sort of deal where Marcus grabs a locust, uses him for cover while firing on some other enemy locust, and breaks his neck to see him fall off the tank they are riding on, which are freaking huge. Others involve a chainsaw clash, where Marcus and a locust pitted chainsaw against chainsaw until (some proof of bugs to sort out) it immidiately stopped and Marcus gutted the locust with the chainsaw. This is what really got my blood pumping, and makes me want to see how the controls are going to work for these flashy kills. More to come...
Games I'm Playing: GTA4 (blowing my freaking mind!!!), Super Smash Bros Brawl, Rock Band, Final Fantasy: Chrystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (much better than you think it is)
