I finally beat the game a few hours ago. Overall it was an awesome experience but I think I still like the first one a bit better (even with the blatant "Pitch Black" rip off)
This game just lacked something that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe the changes from the first game were a bit too subtle or maybe I was expecting it to be a bit more epic altogether. And as far as multiplayer goes, I am not a big fan of the levels with the exception of River and Avalanche. The rest seem a bit mediocre, but thank god the developers put up the map pack from the original game. However horde mode is awesome. I got up to level 28 and died with one guy left to kill
I didn't like using the shield much. too limiting. i'd rather take cover. the body shield thing was fun though. (and fresh) follwed by the merciless neck snap..
too bad it didn't win game of the month on game informer. some kids' game on the wii took it, lol. hey. w/e.
my fav gun was the rocket launcher hand gun and the sniper rifle. it would've been nice to have that "dawn" gun and a usable weapon like it was in pt 1.

Yeah, the shield is a bit limiting but if you have the hordes handgun that fires like a tech-9 you can wreck shit. I was a bit disappointed with the Hammer of Dawn but i think the Mortar gun was better.

I see what you mean. To me though the realiam that made the shield too limiting was why I wasn't too exciting about wielding it because of the type of player I am. I want to be able to move fast and front flip or side flip and take cover fast and move from there to another cover, reload very fast and shoot from both sides of my cover if I have too then rinse and repeat untill all grubs are dead..
I didn't like the shield cause it slowed me down in every way in battle and I was still getting hit a bit and firepower wasn't as significant cause you could'nt carry a BFG like I always like too.

they get the award for worst video game commercial of the year for that "you are my enemy" COD5 commercial with those 2 wii-gun toting emos with serious/mean looks on their faces..
it looked like an old duck hunt NES commercial just with redesigned light zappers, lol... with "world @ war" looking just god-awful and choppy as hell.

I'm pretty sure you just shoot its tentacles when they latch on to you and then the thing will fly behind you so spin around and send a missle directly to its face. That repeats a couple times probably, but its pretty simple
yea but you can only use it on the last boss. the "hammer of dawn" gun, meaning. in gears 1 it was an available weapon from the start of the earlier levels if I remember correctly.
