Lol but what about the 3rd/Judgment? I haven't play Judgement yet, but the 3rd one was absolutely great. I LOVE the GOW series; the gameplay, the locations, the ominous feelings, the gore.. I love it. As far as I've seen, in the third one the combat DOES change slightly, not very much but it's a bit satisfying, and the surroundings are a bit new but still essentially the same. But the game does a good job of immersing you in the storyline, and that's a huge thing for me.
Yeah, these games are the epitome of the whole "just run at the enemy and spray them with bullets" genre. It gets incredibly boring. Plus I feel like they ripped a bunch of stuff off from other games (I haven't played since it came out, so I don't remember what specifically). Everything was grey and boring looking. And the storyline was rather depressing, since you kind of never really figure out what the Locust things are, and the humans just get killed off the whole time. To me this is just a perfect example of those cookie cutter games that somehow were top sellers.
I disagree with some of this.. If you'd pay enough attention to the storyline, you do find out what the Locust are and why their attacking humans. Also, I thought the scenery and colors were great, the games really pulled off an "old abandoned industrial" type look, and I thought the color scheme was perfect for the game.
