Loved it. I just got it over the weekend, and I've got to say that although I can see everything good about the game, I just can't seem to enjoy it. Also I'm suprised nothing was said about
how well your armour protects you from falls in the final act. You fall from a platform, cage and house and survive completely unschated

Finally, a brief mention of Gears of War 2! Can't say I'm surprised to see he (sort of) liked it - in its previous E3 and award show mentions images seemed to be a bit more supportive of it than other titles. And really, Gears of War is nothing more than what it is and it's comforting to see that Yahtzee recognizes this.

And I love the fact he felt the need to defend last week's FarCry 2 accent.

So he's worked through his promised backlog - wonder what comes next?

Wow, this one was almost a return to form IMO, he really needs to stop reusing certain gags though, the triple cunted hooker in particular is getting a bit old. Also HAHAHA at all those banned above me.

Yeah, I didn't like Gears of War 2 that much, I was kind of bored through most of it, I don't know why though.

I loved the bit about the chest high walls, lol.

I wondered why he did the voice in the last one thought he might of lost a bet or something clearly not the case.

Sigh, why is it shooters and stories rarely get along well.

cool new video but why are so many people banned for those posts??
They posted their "lolllzlz I LOVE YTAHAZEEE" before they could have even finished watching the actual video. The video was up around noon, lasted 5 minutes and there's people commenting on it by 12:01

They're banned because they replied before actually watching the video.

Which was awesome, by the way!

Because they are posting before it's even possible to have watched the movie. Therefore it's a pointless post when you're saying 'That was awesome!' (See past tense) when you haven't even watched it yet.

On topic, I was surprised he was so nice to the game! I figured he'd be pretty harsh!
Not too shabby.

Best review in a while. Not only did he engage in constructive criticism, but he succeeded for the first time in month in making me laugh out loud.
"Sometimes popular things are popular for a reason. Because they're good... or because Will Smith is in it." HAHAHAHA

i love it when the first 9 people are just intantly suspeneded, yea that reveiw was pretty good as it covered most of what gears 2 is, its gears one part two rather than a whole new game.
