Give it time the online will get better. Some people experience the partying issue, and some don't.

I won't be getting it till Xmas, hope the online kinks are worked out by then.

good game, but the online is worse than the first. there is no way it can take so long to find 9 ppl to play with online when over 2 million own da game, this is rediciouls. and i have optimum and a N+ router so my connection isn't a problem

plus they lower the fire rate of the shotgun, kinda killed the online

OkeyDokey, Gears of War got the award from the largest amount of sites (I believe), so it was Game of the Year. And it definitely deserved it more than Twilight Princess.

I just don't think that a sequel coming only two years after its predecessor would win a game of the year when the last iteration did. It would just be unusual.

2006: Gears of War

2007: Super Mario Galaxy

2008: Gears of War 2

That would just be strange.

Don't know why ps3 owners should raid this game. It's not possible to raid a game like this. I got rid of my 360 and now just own a ps3 but for this game i will be moving into my friends house and playing gears 2 until i complete it. The 1st one one awesome; truly revolutionary and although this may not be a revolution in gaming, it will most definitely be awesome. I personally can't wait. Along with Killzone2, Resistance 2, Gears of war 2 will kick major ass and for those who spend too much time b******g and going about what console is better will deservedly lose out on this game.

I just saw the game play trailer for Gears of War 2. For that level called Assault. And man was that awesome or what!? This is gonna be the best shooter of 2008. And has the potential to win GOTY. And people leaving votes for a game that's not even out isn't right especially the low votes. They should lock the voting meter until the game is released.
