GEARS2 is a good game. It could be great once they fix all the bugs & glitches. The shotgun has been uttered useless and the chainsaw now reigns supreme.

Now if only they would fix the crazy amounts of bugs in this damn game. Epic seems to be ignoring all the people complaining on their forums, hell I've been banned from there site for "trolling" because I mentioned the fact that I paid $60 for a buggy game that they won't patch. Next time I'll pirate the game instead of wasting 65 bones on a Epic game.

Just..wow. So the xbox version has major bugs too? I dont have one as Im a pC gamer but I do remember the pc version being plagued as well. What was it cliffyB was saying..that theyre concentrating on the console version bc of pc piracy as well as being able to rid the game of bugs too?

So not only does little gnome cliffy's game get leaked 2 weeks prior to launch..its full of show stopping bugs as well??!

I guess thats TWO rick james style bit@h slaps we can give him! Lulz!

Unofficial VGChartz numbers for that one, official Microsoft numbers for this one.

This also includes XBL figures for the game.
