Cliffy "B" claims that this game is going to be bigger, better and more BAD-ASS...and it was truly a very great improvement from the last Gears.

Gameplay mechanics has greatly improved, more ways of dealing with the enemy. Tagging them with grenades, beatdown of downed enemy, chainsaw from the bottom and etc. All sorts of crazy way to inflict pain on the enemy. There is even a part that allows you to ride a Reaver and a Brumak.

Graphic is as great as ever. Even more detailed graphics, which truly shows the power of the UNREAL Engine.

Story-line makes you want to really kill all the locust horde.

There is surely going to be Gears 3, for all I Know..The Locust Queen is still alive and that to the COG is bad news, but for me, it is good news, which means there is seriously going to be Gears of War 3. Nice!(Imitating Marcus voice)

Overall, i enjoyed the game, it was a fun ride.

Finally, I have completed Gears of War 1. It was a long fight with General RAAM,*Phew*...I had to unload like 500+ of bullets with spot-on active reload using the lancer and all my grenades to bring him down.

Hi everybody,

I just played Gears of War 1, (I know I am a little slow)...But thats not my point, I am in the verge of completing the whole game, but I am having a hard time fighting against General RAAM. He is very very very tough locust, I am wondering if he can be defeated or not? I read from forums that sniper rifle would be the best option against him, but i almost unload all my sniper bullets on him and he doesn't feel the pinch at all.

Guys, any comment/advice for me to defeat this General?
