I would not say it "blows". But do agree to some extent. I think all the hype almost tried to make it seem like GOW was the end all of best games ever. And I do think it is a great game. Graphics, game play, sound, all good. But I don't necessarily think it is head and shoulders above all the rest. So I guess what I am saying is yeah it is good, but so is RB6V and COD2/3. I have no problem recommending it to people. As long as I get to list the others in the same category.

As for the active reload, I actually thought that was great. To my knowledge it does not make your bullets more powerful. Just gives you a slight advantage or reward in a faster reload. I like that better then just "push B to reload" and wait. IMO, that was something that I would consider innovative.

Then again, not every game is for everyone.
