I can't believe I still haven't gotten through campaign yet. I'm down to like a few chapters. (Thanks Fallout 3 for completely draining any game time I have. )

Well, it must have been too late at night the other night when I tried it. I survived it on the first try last night. However it did take a few tries to take the arms down out in the open field.

I've only been playing Gears and I'm still only up to Act 5 Chapter 2.

I must say that I'm really having fun GOW2 both offline and strangely enough online too. I really appreciate the training missions set up in the game.

I've been playing this with language and gore filter on and I think it MAY be ok to play with my 10 year old afterall. I saw a curbstomp but nothing really happens. No heads explode. When someone tries to chainsaw another in half their body writhes during it but it stays solid and there is no blood or anything. I realize this is an inherently violent game but I think they have toned it down enough w/ those settings in place to give it a T and me to give it a shot w/ the 10 year old. Then again, I have only had enough play time to just now make it to the credits shot so there may be still a little extra to sway me. Anyone else w/ any further insight on this?

I'm wondering how they will make the worm stage without blood. You are at times armpit deep in pools of blood and your entire character model is painted red with blood and gore. Not only that but it is actually part of the stage/story.
If they strip that out i will be very curious how it plays.

It would be awesome if turning those filters on gave everybody a nerf gun. I once had a Nerf FPS game that ran on the Unreal engine -- it was actually pretty fun.

In the "Unlockables" section, it indicates that you must complete the specific chapters from GOW1 to get Minh Kim and A. Carmine for use in GOW2 Multiplayer. I've already beaten these chapters from GOW1 and are noted in my list of Achievements. However, the box has not been checked-off in GOW2 and these two characters are not selectable.
Can anyone help out please?

Sounds a little weird - the very first time I put the disc of GoW2 in my machine, when it got to the main screen it told me I had unlocked these characters - never did anything. Do you have achievements for completing the chapters of GoW1 still saved on your machine? If they got erased or reset, it might not show up.

same thing happened for me - it unlocked tons of guys the fist time I put the game in.

Yeah, these were achievements I completed a long time ago (last year) and they're all in my harddrive.
Hmmm.....
Check in your GOW2 journal.
Are the boxes checked-off for Minh Kim, A. Carmine, and RAAM?
Thanks for the replies so far.
One thing that comes to mind...
I do not have my xbox 360 connected to the internet, thus I do not have a Live account right now. I use to, but that's a long story. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

After awhile if someone wants to go thru co-op I'm game. For now the Horde has been a blast and chore to go thru. I have to say the people at Epic has some wild imaginations. It's been a little of LOTR meets Journey To The Center Of The Earth

I doubt they do this in GOW2 but I've seen a few games with the "gore off" feature where the game turns the Blood from Red to Green or Purple.
People seem to have less of an issue if the Blood looks non-human.

Played some Horde last night it was a blast. We got to wave 18. I was last man standing and everyone was yelling at me to hide, but I got taken out by a Boomer.
