Banzaii - The blog of online games and games of Jorge Mediavilla

Two evenings and a half has lasted me the Gears of War, but do not think I've been a bad impression because of its brevity. The experience has been very successful, fun and action sought bulk, without any complications, and have found it. Although the single player campaign is not very long, open season is now the co-op multiplayer works of luxury and a horde so it promises.

Let's be clear: The game does not bring much new except for some details of which can well do without how to use the fallen bodies as shields, for example. It is still exciting as the original, but has more variety in missions (many are now in vehicles and you can choose different paths when it divides your group). The control is as affordable as ever, with the triggers and the button cover you can move forward (using yet another button that is not normally part of the action to collect arms and kicking open doors).

The weapons are varied and some really deadly, such as mortar or machine gun, but I left with the feeling of thinking that was very original in this sense, since I ended the adventure with the original weapon, that of the chainsaw. I've finished in the middle and I found quite simple, ie, in a few stages and I've been stuck on the few that has happened has been because I've realized that I had to shoot a given site, the weakness of some creature.

The end left me a bit cold. I was surprised when I came to him because I did not expect. I'm not going to say anything to chafaros not play, but I kept saying, 'Ya? Is that all? Although they say that was not intended to be a trilogy, that no one can swallow it ... I foresee at least 3 more installments ...

Among the things that stand out, of course the graphics, but mostly the enemy AI, which changes position when you miss, either behind the same obstacle or looking for new coverage.

The script is also good, with some interesting changes of pace, some twists, some mystery and, like all epic adventure that price, the occasional love story. How bad has made the movie Titanic! Apparently, there are many females that give the Gears of War and this is a little wink. They have done so as not to squeak too, but not just fit perfectly.

In conclusion I comment that brings great news, not innovative and is quite short, but still has the freshness of the first, its simplicity, fast action ... Although I have many other quality titles on my waiting list, after I have given FIFA 09 Gears of War cane because I knew that I would not disappoint. I wanted fun without complications and I had. Gears of War 2 is a bit more of the same, but the cut (Curiously, the opposite happens to me with Motorstorm 2).

PS: By the way, Gears of War 2 has triumphed in the final dryness I did at home. I invited 2 friends who do not usually play consoles and were delighted and amazed with Gears of War 2 and its co-op. Then I put the Resistance 2 co-op and raised the following comments: "This game has graphics Play 1" or "remove Counter Strike guy." It did not last even five minutes, a disappointment in the making.
