A much better summary of the Gears 2 experience than mine. Every bone in your body screams "this should be shit." But then you carry on playing, and love every minute.

Eh. It's a good review, sure, but I still don't believe the argument. It's just way too negative for me to believe that it was as good as he eventually ends up sayiing it is (and with the score more than anything else in the review. Without it, I would've thought he considered it merely average). The most positive comes in the last paragraph with anything else mentioned being nullified by a swarm of negative counterpoints.

This is so nitpicky I don't even know why I'm mentioning it, but is the image of the B button really necessary? Is there no reason why you can't just say, you know, B?

That B button was awesome. You're all just bitter that I did it before you did.

Before this turns into a list of awesome EmP reviews and becomes the longest topic known to man, I'll specify what I mean.

I think that's actually totally reasonable. I did something similar with my BioShock review, where I basically said, "Look, there are a thousand praise reviews out there, and yes, the game IS good, so here's what you should know going into it." That said, I consider justifying a 9/10 much more difficult than an 8/10, but I see where you're coming from, EmP. Also,

There is no way the razorhail is anywhere near as cool as the Krill. For one, why can Razorhail instantly kill hardened marines with foot-deep amour who shurg off bullets, grenades and explosive-tipped arrows, but is rendered completly ineffectual by rickity wooden shacks?

Am I the only one to notice that the Gears don't have anything protecting their heads? That can't help.

I'm pretty sure their beefy heads are more solid than rotten wooden beams.

...that chat with VM and WQ where they gossiped about lip gloss and who the cutest member of N*Sync was.

Liek, no way. We so totally don't like talk about make up and fashion and stuff.

I'm partial to JT myself.
