Radtiz and I spent nearly 9 hours of uninterrupted play to complete the Gears of War campagin, plus an hour or so of multiplayer. I loved it! More of the same great gears fun, everything you enjoyed about the first Gears has been carried over. The Story has become more Grand. Nolonger is it just you and 3 guys running through the city streets killing the locusts thatr pop up. You feel like a soldier in a war. I like the grand scales of some of the battles. The story lets you dive into Dom a lot more and you get to know the characters better. One thing I must say about the story though is that to much has been packed into the story line. Think Spiderman 3 with the 3 villians. None of them got enough screen time and so instead of getting one or two fleshed out ideas you get a bunch of things been touched on. Like the locust Queen for examplecomes and goes in one cut scene. It seemed the story was cut into a bunch of sectioned that each didn't get enough play time. The same can be said about the weapons. They've been doubled, with all your favorites returning. Howeve the fact you can only carry, for all intents and perposes, two you end up leaving the majority of them. Even though you would love to carry the Sheld around with you. Or the flamethrower, or the motar launcher... A word on multiplayer, more of the same great stuff. However you can play offline (you always could, one on one split sceen  ) Now you can have bots fill out the empty lots having 10 people running about in new maps and a few new modes. The best of the new ones being wingman. You and your "wingman" fight against 4 other teams of 2. Great for a split screen online, though I haven't played online yet. Been having fun playing with Radtiz killing bots.

Lets just add in some sorta magical mythical crap. "Listen, we must channel our energy to Goku, by some event that makes no sense, by us giving the tiny, tiny, tiny amount of energy that we have left after getting the crap beaten out of us, it will some how give Goku immeasurable power against an insanely powerful villain.”- Piccolo Ribbons:
