Its EMERGENCE DAY bitches!

Now go get on live and start pwning some noobs!

I'll be chainsawing you on Live!



EDIT/UPDATE: (DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT BEAT THE GAME YET!!!) SPOILERS!!!
----------------------------
Just beat the campaign. Whoever wrote the script for this thing needs to get a couple of slaps in the head. They didnt really reveal why you were on the train at all....just kinda...OK your on a train. Oh snap its for something important. OH SHIT! Its the final boss and the big bomb is on the train! Boom.... End......

Im a little dissapointed with the ending. Although the visuals were beautiful, it just kinda lacked. It definitely was like a blockbuster movie though...alot of flash. But the story lacked in the end.

I played the campaign hoping for something alot more than I got...perhaps I was expecting too much. And even though Halo 2's campaign was kinda short too...it let you know what was going on. Gears kinda just pulls you along but doesn't tell you too much until you're knee deep in the shit.

The parts you play are immersive and entertaining, but when the cut-scenes play out all together in the end the story is there...its just not revealed really well. Ok theres a bigger looking Locust guy who gets the ultra-cool slow-mo walk when he first appears. But hes not shown again until the end of the game. NO CLUE WHO HE IS! The only way you know his name is by reading the objective of the level....LAME!

HIGHLIGHTS:
---------------------------
First fight with the Berserker. INTENSE is not a strong enough word for this number.
2nd Berserker fight - Was kind of expecting it......but still intense as hell.
Driving the clunker around. I wish the level was longer or you got to drive it in different situations.
Theres alot more....I just have to play through more times to remember them all. lol.

DISSAPOINTMENTS:
--------------------------
Didnt get to fight the Brumak. Its only shown once...and you're running from it. I WANTED TO SO FIGHT THAT!
Too many of those smaller Kretches or whatever they are called....They are the only reason I used any shotgun ammo in the damn game.
Not keeping the gamer involved in alot of the story until you're allready involved in whats supposed to be going on.

Gatsu OUT!

Happy Emergence Day to you, too! I definitely agree with a lot of your points, especially about the final boss. I can't think of a worse set-up for a villain. I thought the fight was going to be a lead-in to a bigger battle with him later... pretty disappointed when the cut scene and credits rolled. Still, I'm loving the hell out of it!

I just got on the train and now i dont know if i wanna play the end boss...it sounds kind of corny...but i need more acheivment points so im gonna do it...I think it is a very good game though with all the hidind and tricks you can pull of ( blind fire & peeking around corners ) is really cool to me..The online play is cool though I have not tried co op yet..I have to say I am kind of dissapointed with all the hype that was thrown out...all around I am pleased with the game and hope to see some more games from them about Marcus and how he was called a traitor..

totally love the game but agree, the story is not solid and many holes, at least through 1 play through, on my 2nd now. The game is worth it tho.. and still a perfect 10/10 IMO ( I dont judge games based on Multiplayer )
