From the rather cryptic (and badly worded) title you’d be forgiven for becoming a little confused. What I’m referring to of course if the Game of the Year (both on my own site and Gamespot) - Gears of War - and what I’d like to see from a sequel. First of all, I’d like to see more characters. Hell, let’s take a jump to the next level. A choice of character with really strong dialogue whomever you choose. How about different abilities and specialities too?

At various chokepoints and triggered incidences Gears of War presents you with a battle that is heavily weighted toward a particular strategy. I liked this a lot as it felt like a reward when you worked it out, rather than a negative, overly controlled experience. With that in mind I’d say more battles like the one defending the house please Epic!

My biggest gripe with Gears of War remains the short duration of the main game, along with the lack of a completion reward (beyond a higher difficulty setting). Therefore in the sequel (or content download) I’d like to see more of - well everything really. Finally, new weapons (and maybe usable vehicles, though this was the weakest part of the game) would be cool. For me, the sniper rifle and the standard issue chainsaw equipped rifle were the best combination, but I’d like to see some new things in the future.

So Epic, there you are. As a huge Gears of War fan I’d really appreciate if you took away my ideas and ran with at least a few of them. Given there’s been a suggestion of a trilogy I don’t see why Marcus and Dom can’t go further in their war against the Locust Horde.

N.B. for all the latest info on Gears of War go here.
