Only played the training part but already the game has set a tone that surpasses the first one. Really looking forward to the campaign.
What I'm really posting about is Horde Mode. I had no idea when reading about it that it could be this fun. I was playing it by myself (big mistake, big big mistake) and I got to level 4 before I died first (playing on medium difficulty). Granted I haven't touched Gears 1 for like a year, but I consider myself a pretty seasoned player.
I finally got to level 5 and couldn't get past it before my lunch break was over and had to get back to work.
The Boomers are BRUTAL in this game, having expanded to having multiple types, such as the Butcher (basically a boomer with a machete type weapon) and Flame Boomers (totally relentless and will roast you while your screaming trying to get away). I literally jumped at one part. I was playing on avalanche and I set up a proximity smoke grenade on a wall just to let me know when something was coming. Well, I felt my controller vibrating (means a boomer is walking close to you) and I turned to look and I'm face to face with one. He says, "BOOOOOOM!!!" and I did just that.
Anybody who liked the first one will absolutely love this one. I definately suggest getting it.
