Get both if you can.djkimothy said:O shit, I may wait on Motorstorm and get this glory first.
But if you can only get one at the moment, I would probably go for GOW2. Personally because I've been waiting for this game ever since I beat the first one, and it's finally here. But Motorstorm is fun too. Whatever you pick you should have a blast with I think./me high fives Denogg.DenogginizerOS said:

I've now had the opportunity to play GoW II on my 46" Bravia using two different setups--with the final review build on a debug PS2 connected by component video, and with the retail version on a PS3 connected via HDMI...and while the game is still only in 420p, it looks way better on the HDMI PS3--the colors are much brighter, and there's a crispness to the image that makes the PS2/component combo look a little blurrier by comparison. Losing the rumble on the PS3 is a drag, but the tradeoff just might be worth it for the visual edge.
And I haven't seen it mentioned yet on any news sites, but the back cover of the manual confirms a GoW game for the PSP is scheduled to arrive by the end of the year...

I think the game is trying to tell you to just stop and give up since the superior version will be here soon.DenogginizerOS said:
Plus you can just watch the ending on youtube.

I haven't been this hyped for a game release since Mario 64.
The end (of my free time) begins tomorrow at 6pm.

I have the pal version of GOW1 and there is hardly ever any screen tearing. I hate screen tearing btw. The NTSC version must be worse.
It's weird; 300 does absolutely nothing for me, but I'm massively psyched about GoWII for pretty much the same reasons everyone's gone gaga about 300 (mindless action). VG+ debited my card last night so hopefully it'll be shipping out today; I'll have about a week to wait, unlike the rest of you lucky sods in the States.
With that said, I do worry that it'll be a bit too much like more of the same; I haven't read the reviews yet, but as long as it builds on the first game it'll be awesome.

JB1981 said:that's a known bug in the game, unfortunately
Is it a reoccurring bug? If I trudge through that battle again, is it likely to happen again?
Sorry I didn't post this earlier, but I was able to make it to the midnight launch at the Playstation store in San Francisco. There was a long line outside and it took me over an hour b4 I could get into the store. Some of the folks that showed up for the launch were: Cory Barlog (Game Director), Tim Moss (Lead Programmer) and a bunch of other members of the GoW team whose names escape me right now (it's 5:30am, and I haven't slept a wink). T.C. Carson was also there (voice of Kratos, used to act in In Living Single).Unfortunately, David Jaffe couldn't make it. Anyway, the launch went well and I could see Cory was very excited cause he was running in and out of the store trying to talk to as many people as he could. Anyways, here's some pics...

And last, but not least, me and Cory...

Well, that was my GoW2 midnight launch experience in a nutshell. I wish I could have gotten Tim Moss and the other team members to sign my game. Oh well, maybe on GoW3

hopefully the lame walmart-esque store next to my work has the game in. They tend to have new releases out by lunch time, plus im gonna see about grabbing their GoW2 cardboard standup. I want this so bad, especially since I heard about the new game + stuff.

Beat God mode yesterday, but I warn you...DO NOT PUSH START WHEN YOU BEAT THE GAME(in Olympus). After about 2 hours of dealing with the 3 boss fights in the hardest difficulty, I went to the upgrade screen after it was all over and got hit with a black screen of death. Had to reset the system and do all three fights all over again(which went very quickly thankfully).
So yea, make sure to save first to avoid this glitch.
Oh and the God Mode unlockable videos are awesome!
Though I was totally expecting Ares to be his unknown father, not Zeus.

How are you guys getting it today? My EB Games keeps telling me that they get it in tomorrow morning. Are those of you who are getting it today on the West Coast? Where do you guys live?!!

I am on the east coast near BadBoy in NC. My EB told me they were driving to pick it up for the stores in this area so they can have it tonight. Not all stores are doing this.

Finished the game a over the weekend. Wathing the 300 and then playing this game in a mad crazy jam session of madness (this is). I was so "out-manned" I had to go and cook a steak and I felt like punching people in the face with it.
You guys are in for one hell of a ride. The game is in your face and doesn't relent for the entire thing.
My only piece of advice is to master the Parry early. It is your friend, and it makes everything that much easier.

Umm...last stop in what borough? I pre-ordered at an EB and they said they won't get it until 7 pm tonight, so I'll probably just pick it up tomorrow because I don't have much time to play tonight anyway (MotorStorm here I come).
