    @RowleyBirkin What the hell dude 7/10 my ass! GOW was great and GOW2 is hopefully going to be even better. It's wise not do insult a game that everyone else on this comment list likes.

    Gears of War was so over rated IMO, it was at best a mediocre 3rd person shooter, which I'd give 7/10 & I can't see this being any different

    HA IN UR FACE FANBOYS!

    GR in your reveiws could you also review the online play that goes into if im going to buy it or not (although this one is a no-brainer)

    I know this sounds awfull, but I'm glad that the games isn't a ten.

    @Jar-Head: This review was actually written by Xbox 360 World UK. Which is kinda lame that they outsource their reviews...

    why did my 360 have to die... it chooses the best gaming weeks in the year!? oh yeah GOW2 looks amazing

    I love it when great games return to form in their sequels. I was glad about Rock Band 2 and I'm really glad about Gears. Say it ain't so Joe, they kept the stupid-ass Jack defense segments in? That makes me sad.

  • Scott1121 - November 3, 2008 9:30 p.m.

    I love Games Radar reviews, to the point, and unbiased but only the Truth stands. Well said, Well put, Well written.

  • kingsmikefan - December 5, 2008 12:22 a.m.

    Why is multiplayer all lancers and chainsaws? The first was all shotguns. I think Epic doesn't know what "balance" means.

  • HotSht95 - November 29, 2008 6:58 a.m.

    @Rowley god u sound like a stupid philosiphizer "its my opinion and if everyones was the same blablablabla" ur a loser u just mad all u got is ur little 30 frames a second shitty run down PC and u play team fortress all day

  • HotSht95 - November 29, 2008 6:52 a.m.
