   It just set it apart from the older consoles IMHO.
   If other folks think it was just meh fair enough.

   Unfortunately I need to disagree with you again. ;)
   "Gears of War" was NOT the game that set it apart from the older consoles! It was clearly "GRAW" which launched 6 months earlier. THIS was the very first game which really screamed "next gen"! Sure, technically GOW was better but by that time the novelty has already worn off.
   The most offending part about "Gears of War" was the fact that it was way, way over-hyped, just like "Halo 2&3" were and now" Killzone 2" is.

   I fully respect other peoples opinions on the Gears game as all thoughts on games are opinions as each person likes different games.
   A bit like music I suppose.
   Having said that I think both Gears and halo 3 managed to live up to the hype.
   I cannot speak for PS3 games as I don't own one and would be just lying if I mentioned any game.
   Gears 1 for me was one of the most if not the most enjoyable games I have ever played.
   I played it on easy and man even that was hard in many parts.
   Not only that but there was so much variety in the gameplay.
   I have not finished 2 yet (360 gone for repair) but again for me it has lived up to the hype.
   You really need to play it on hardcore to appreciate the work that went into it.
   btw both games I am talking about SP only as online does my head in I just keep getting wapped no matter what game I try online.

   "I played it on easy and man even that was hard in many parts."

   I don't mean to offend, but this really made me laugh.

   It also makes me realise that there are many different people of different abilities who will naturally have different opinions of the same game.

   I've usually try to finish games on the hardest difficulty, as I have with Gears 1 and 2, and I just find it difficult to imagine anyone struggling at the easiest setting.

   As for Gears 2 though... Believe me, stick to Hardcore. If you try it on Insane, all of the bugs in the game suddenly become way too apparent.

   None taken gigahurtz too long in the tooth for that. :)
   Mind you if memory serves me right Epic did add an extra difficulty level to 2 as they felt 1 was a bit hard even on the easier levels.
   I normally play my games on medium to hard and usually finish them.
