The Game is fucking Amazing!
Since Halo 3 the Best game i played!
Yes I Played Little Big Planet Beta or Resistance 2.
But GoW2 so fucking amazing!
I will give GoW2 the Title: Best Game for the Xbox 360. Yes Really. People over 17 must buy this Game(When they have Xbox 360)
The Soundtrack is amazing, too. I like transformers and i like the OST, too.
So i was really happy, that Steve made the Soundtrack.
So guys. Enjoy this game.

P.s. i have a code for the Golden Hammerbrust, too :) But i cant download this and sorry for my english

Wait a sec - where'd you get that Marcus gamerpic? I've never seen it before - did it come with the LE game/unlockable within the game?

You and me both - but if all goes well, that might change for me tomorrow!

And seriously, doesn't anyone at 7-11 read? So far, everyone that I have read that went to one got the game - and there's that sticker on the top edge saying that it shouldn't be sold till Friday...

Why it's not bright orange anymore I don't know... :lol

Ok, just got to my first extremely frustrating, broken moment of the campaign... such a shame as it starts off so damn cool to.

So the Centaur tank scene while inside the mountain... make this jump / power goes out. Corpsers surround the tank, and there is this 30 seconds sequence of darkness an bullshit before you get 1 second to react, or die. Totally fucked, horrible execution... of such a memorable moment. What would have been one of those awesome take-aways, you're left with a terribly frustrating scene. Still haven't figured which one to shoot first.. this is bullshit

For those of you that have the game, what do you think of the living flag varient? This gametype I don't think I am sold on. I think it might just be more annoying than interesting gameplay.

if it is the one with the human that you have to take as hostage back to a weapon spawn place,
its exhausting!

the human kicks ass, if you go easy or have a fight with someone from the opposing team while you are near him, he will kill you.

the place to take the hostage I think is visible only to the guy who carries him, so that adds up to interesting gameplay.

I think its not possible to like this mode in a random game with random players, but if you've got some mates and have a team, I bet you will have great time.

Is the Flashback Map Pack working for any of you? I tried the code two days ago and it wasn't up yet, I'm wondering if that's the case now.

So many success stories for people who have tried at 7/11's.. I went to 7 more 7/11's today (we have a ton of them near me) and every one of them either didn't have them yet or couldn't sell them yet. This wait is killing me.

Any driving part of the game Ive already written off so nothing surprising here. As long as the meat and potatoes (the shooting encounters on foot) are awesome that is all I care about.

That part is really simple...

Only shoot the one who's arms are up and not covering it's face. They only raise their arms one at a time and it takes one shot to kill.

I'm super tempted to go after some of my 7-11s today and buy a copy, but I don't want to end up spending $140 dollars on one game since I already have the LE paid off at GameStop. :/

I know it, I'll be there tomorrow night at midnight. That's why I'm all excited to think that I'll finally get to play it "tomorrow" night.

It's hard to believe that tomorrow night, most of us will finally it. But all these success stories are making the wait fucking unbearable.

You would think that was obvious. But it's clear that it's the game's shitty design fault. :lol

To the couple of you who have received your Hammerburst codes, how did you get them? Not that it really matters since nothing can be done with the codes yet I'd imagine but I'm just curious.

well there is a visual cue from the corpser on the far left and the timing of your demise is in sync with his movements, only its actually the corpser on the far right that snakes you. I'm also playing on hardcore, so there may be different timing on the other difficulties.

Seriously, there are parts of the game that feel like you are riding something like straight out of Disney land, only like a Disney land dreamed up in hell.

Some really well orchestrated action pacing.

I've beat the game twice. Once on hardcore, than on insane. Timings were the same for me. I actually had an easier time on that part during insane since I knew what to expect.

Bagh the stupid Target I work at put the LE out on the shelves yesterday. Hopefully they pulled them because if they don't have any when I get paid on Friday I'll be pissed.

For those who have the game...can you have multiple saves? For example, one save for single-player and a second save for co-op?

(Sorry if this has been asked already, but I did a search and didn't find anything.)

For those who have it and have given the campaign a whirl playing co-op, how exactly does the different difficulty thing work? I keep trying to tell the wife she should play it with me when I get it, but she's not very good at shooters and doesn't want to. Her excuse is something like "I'll get blown away in like ten seconds because you play it on the hardest difficulty settings." :lol
