I have to say I absolutely love it, and would consider it one of the best games on the 360 so far (and I've played a lot of them). Yes it's been done before, but then again if you break it down there's pretty much nothing new you can do in the genre anyway. I think it's done with style, it draws you in (despite the lack of any real storyline), and it's done with superb beauty (best looking game on the 360 so far, without doubt). I love the fact it doesn't cheat you as well. There are some games where parts of it feel stupidly hard, but while playing through it on Hardcore, there have been bits I've thought are hard, but with playing it a bit I've done it by simply improving my tactics.
Still, each to their own, the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things  I personally thought that Star Wars Lego 2 sucked from the demo I played, though I'm sure it's not representative of the full game

Haven't played it single-player yet, but co-op is amazing
 Mainly because it means there's someone around to revive me...which happens a lot as I'm obsessed with trying to kill everything with the chainsaw!  Helps that it's on a 50" tv as well so you can actually see what's going on for both players!

Co-Op's fun
Definitely hoping to be playing a lot of that over Christmas.

I've not played Gears Of War but one of the cool things I've noticed when my mates are playing it is that you can join in to co-op mode at any point in the single player game. One of my mates was having major problems with his AI team-mate (first time you meet a Berserker I think) who kept getting himself killed so another mate just jumped in and they completed it first go, the only downside is that you have to quit to the menu if one person wants to leave. Aside from that it looks rather pretty but I've never been able to get on with a FPS/third person shooter on a console so I'm unlikely to ever play it much, I may just be malcoordinated though.
