Thanks for the reply mate.
I never said the game wouldn't or couldn't be fun (see the gameplay comment). My emphasis is on the fact that Gears has a lot more competition this time around compared to the first rendition, and the competition looks terrific. Gears is not doing anything new at all (visually) and the storyline isn't anything earth shattering, so that gameplay must be really good.
Look, the bottom line is that the die-hards will eat this game up like cake, but overall Gears is just a better than average game on the XBOX360. I wouldn't mind if it was on the PS3 (it would most likely have a bevy of new features, larger maps, and crisper visuals), but is it a game that I long to play & just "have to have"? ....No, not when R2, LBP, and KZ2 are on the way, not to mention that one of the greatest TPS games ever made (MGS4) is already on the system and the MMOTPS genre is owned right now by WarHawk.
