    Re: Official GR:AW 2 Impressions Thread

    I just finished the game. I was playing on Elevated Risk since the reviews said it was short, I figured by playing on Hard the first time it would make me take my time and the game would last longer. But wow, the game still felt extremely short. I must have finished it in 6 - 8 hours, and I thought that I WAS taking my time with it.

    The game was still alot of fun. Man, those particle/smoke/lighting effects are simply breathtaking at times.

    I only have a few complaints with the single-player:

    - Too short (duh)

    - When your character reloads (especially when he is in cover) he does not really remove a clip, nor place a new one in. This is a small detail which also annoyed me from the first game. Granted, it has ZERO effect on gameplay, but when a game looks this good, it is those small details that stand out like a sore thumb. Looks absolutely ridiculous to see your character "pretend' to reload, especially when your character model is so large an detailed and you have a plain view of it happening. Yes, I am anal.

    - It was mentioned earlier, and again, it bothered me with the first GRAW, but your character tends to "float" too much. When walking I get the impression that he is just sort of skating around, not really taking actual steps. That irks me for some reason.

    I can't wait to really sink my teeth into co-op now! I had a blast with GRAW co-op.

      I guess this is a SPOILER











      Anyway, that scene where Mitchell gets his helmet knocked off (and going into that scene) was intense.

      Although when he lost his helmet, I thought he looked like Jason Vorhees.



      I'll say this again, this game has the best soundtrack ever.

          I started playing this game today and boy is it good and much better than GRAW1. I might have to bump the difficulty to Eleveated Risk.

            This is silly, but yesterday I was playing with my headphones on and I was at the level where you had to shoot down two helicopters. Anyway, in the heat of the moment a helicopter flys over my neighborhood. It was crazy as I could feel the vibration of that and hear it, and then they're actually in the game. It added a nice touch.

              Damn! Ubisoft must've gone to great lengths to arrange that. What a company!

                I absolutely love the game but was very disappointed in how short the single player mode was. Fortunately it has some replay value.

                This is what I'm afraid just may suck for me. I'm not into co-op or online gaming much. I play some sports games online, but that's about it.

                These days it seems like developers are sacrificing the single player mode for more co-op and online gaming. I hope one day they can create great co-op and online play without sacrificing the single player mode.

                  You have to try the co-op missions on live. They are great fun.

                    I love the single player mode but can not get into the online mode at all. It could be because I suck so much. After I beat the on elevated risk I'll probably trade it in for Rainbow Six. Is that a mistake?

                      I have and I just can't get into it. I've tried Halo, Lost Planet and both GRAWs but don't really care for it.

                      I prefer single player when it comes to these type of games and I hate seeing the single player mode sacrificed.

                      When the single player mode gets cut into, buying a game becomes less of a value for those of us that prefer single player mode to online gaming. Again, hopefully one day developers won't sacrifice the single player mode in order to enhance online gaming.

                          I'm late getting the game, but it is much better than the first one. Haven't finished it yet............This game has the best sound track ever. It really sets the mood.

                            If you are up for XBL just look for myself, Hoosier, nyisles, The C (Ohio's), and other OS'ers online. It's much more fun without the homophobic, racist, team killing a-hole randoms.

                            We also play objective oriented games as opposed to the team and solo deathmatches.

                                I haven't got G.R.A.W. 2 yet but I tried the demo. Based on the demo IMO graphics look great, probably better than original G.R.A.W. and the gameplay got better. I'll pick it up once the prices go down to a reasonable point.

                                Too bad games don't get cheap enough these days...I still see NBA 2K6 on 360 for 16 dollars used.
