Gears of War 2 already "raising eyebrows"

Auctoria | May 20, 2008 | News | XBOX 360 
Its been only a week since Epic Games released the first Gears of War 2 gameplay footage and the game is under the spotlight already. The website azfamily.com are questioning the level of gore and detail in the game. They bring to attention the chainsaw attacks where the player chainsaws a person in half, and "meat shield" which the player uses a corpse to protect themselves from enemy fire.
A popular video game for the Xbox 360 is getting a sequel this year - and it seems to be raising eyebrows with its level of gore and detail.

The game presents the player with a number of projectile weapons, but also features a chainsaw for melee attacks. In the demo, the player can use the chainsaw to cut a person in half, starting at the groin and moving upwards. Also, players can pick up the corpses of fallen enemies and use them as a "meat shield" to protect themself from enemy fire as they engage in battle from behind the corpse.

    This is not the only game to use the "meat shield" idea and it isn't the goriest game either i mean look at Resident Evil 4... Decapitation by chainsaw is gorier that anything in Gears of War 2 i am sure.
