Gears of War 2 was very good, I fully completed 1 and 2, and I actaully enjoyed 2 more then 1. I feel that 2 actually makes it feel alot more like a war than one. And the story is alot more stable then the First one.In all honesty it took 2-3 plays before I figured out what the story behind the first one was, it just kinda jumps all over the place.
Especially Last level on the train. = ) If you don't like two, I reccomend you look at the improvements, such as Hoarde and the Multiplayer online is in its own league. Not really an answer, but I know downloads for it are comeing out.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
