Will the game wow the collective gameplaying world once again, or are we in for much of the same? One thing's for sure, with close to two years of development time under their belt, Epic have no reason not to deliver something compelling (or do they?).

On a more conflicting note. Personally I think the on-rails scripted stuff was one of Gears strengths. It made gameplay simple and easy to pickup, play and enjoy. Like a brainless action movie; and I think that's exactly what the devs were aiming for.

Hell yeah, baby. Everyone wants to see The Cole Train play!
For those that didn't know Cole was voiced by this guy:

I also agree with Dan, I loved all the stuff from the first game in terms of scripting and on-rails - here it's just even more so. There's a difference between playing a great action game with some thought and skill involved and having to do this right so that triggers that though.
Again, and as stressed throughout the article, I've yet to play all the way through, but my initial concerns (more palatable?) have been met with justification

Fear 2, it's an action game, it's meant to be cheesy. I'd be more "fearful" about a heart fealt story breaking up this sort of game flow.
Fear 3, yeah and no, gow is still one of the best games out, if they got the most out of the system that is possible, then there's not much more room too improve. I can't actually think of one that looks better (tho we're lead to believe bayonetta does).
Fear 4, Once again, like everyone said, i think the directfull and scripted nature worked, but if like you've said it's gone to the point of reptitive tediousness...........
Fear 5, thats a fear of every game, not just sequels.
Over all, different way to aproach a preview, but not sure if it worked >< (Similar to the sc4 rant about game "4".)

Not saying every game should be bagged throughout production, but I want to hear the bad with the good to make up my mind. not feel that I have to wait till past release day to find out that "Oh yeah, the graphics are crap and the combat boring" is the common ground between reviewers.
