Just beat it.
The ending is meh.
The game is definitely better than teh first, which came out alongside a halo and the first Gears, so it was utterly overshadowed adn outclassed by the highly risen bar.
The weaopns are cool and feel really good, hate the wheel, at least in coop mode the sensitivty between the left and left upper was too great.
Story pissed me off, needless death really bothered me, ending just kinda left me mehs.
Actions fairly good, set pieces are pretty, but not as epic as anything you'll find in gears/halo. The difficulty on normal was pretty good at times, very good infact (just wanted casual with some challenge, delivered)
Look at some of the unlockable art, VERY pretty concept stuff.
UPGRADE THE PISTOL. Get to level three (trust me) its fucking worth it. Easily the best sidearm/handgun of any game, including Combat Evolved.
Its got coop though, for that reason, I agree with game informers 7/10.
