Right then, some people have asked for my thoughts on this one so here they are..
Basically it is GOW2 - more of the same, slightly improved graphics, more weapons, more story this time round.
It still has the things I hated about the 1st one (half a clip to down a bad guy ???) but it is a damn good rollercoaster ride.
I am most looking forward to going through it in coop mode, and also playing the "horde" mode online as well
If you loved the 1st one then this is just more of the same
cant wait
Just wanted to add that this game is actually growing on me, it gets better as you progress, the graphics are actually fantastic, I don't think you realise how good they are till you play something else then come back to it. I especially like the cinders effect when you are near fires.
I liked the 1st one offline - online was a bt shite with 4 v 4, tell me its improved?
think this 1 has the party system incorporated, ala cod4
I haven't tried online modes...
Im buying this for offline and maybe online coop,

Indeed, competetive modes on this have always been a bit shit (too Halo'esque for my liking)
The Horde mode (4 player coop, against the Hordes, last as long as you can) looks fucking great though. As does 2 player coop story mode.
Just finished it now, what a ride, it is a real treat and I can't wait to try it coop
nice to hear
without spoliers Muppet.
Does it progress from the first one in its story?

Yes, but I'm still left with more questions than answers....
tyipcal guess thats why there will be three
hmmmmmmmmmmmm, played it last night and so far Im not blown away, and the graphics dont amaze me as much as the first game. I suppose thats becasue other games look so good now as well, Dead Space for one.
Anyway, will play through the game and would like to play horde one night if anyones up for it?
I may be missing something from the 1st one though, I did the entire 1st game as coop, thats maybe why it aint as good at the moment.
your right, it wont blow you away as its not offering anything new and the story is heavily predicatable, its still good as a co-op but once thats been done its got nothing to offer on the first, other than another crappy "cliff hanger ending"
played some horde last night got bored, the AI runs around on a preset route, if you hide behind something at the spawn they just keep running, its only when you pop out that they home in on you, you take out those who have come to you and provided no otheres see you go back into cover they seem to go back to their wandering route or just stand still. Think they tried to prevent it by having wreches home in on your but if you melee them the locust horde wont hear/see you and so wont bother. Only did it to level 7 so i suppose it could get harder and better as the enemy numbers increase as your ammo is limited.
and why is it that every game seems to feel the need to put in obligitory shitting driving levels, they are always so shit
There was one driving bit which felt very ripped off from Halo 3.
