It's not like I tried to compare GoW to Europa Universalis. The reason I mentioned Halo was to voice my early fears that GoW2 would turn into a Halo clone. It didn't and I'm thankful it didn't, but some of those early gameplay videos had me worried.360 Trooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739144100276821672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-880226377268624956.post-82311060869429835292009-01-09T14:26:00.000-05:002009-01-09T14:26:00.000-05:00The "antithesis of innovation"?

If you want loads of innovation I would recommend an original title rather than a direct sequel.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, I thought GoW1 felt pretty 'fresh' in terms of an FPS. The take cover mechanics, the superb adult-level dialogue, and face it, having a chainsaw on your gun is just plain awesome. Even better is that the chainsaw is actually quite useful during gameplay, when it easily could have been just a novelty. But it works with the GoW gameplay space. Oh and as far as gameplay GoW and Halo should not even be mentioned in the same discussion. Complete opposite ends of the FPS spectrum.<BR/>Overall review rating - 3/5Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
