    The Original Gears of War left us with, a bloodthirsty type of game-play, almost every kill was satisfactory and Gears of War 2 brings in that and more options to love it even more. Gears of War 2's Campaign mode has significantly improved with more overall action, id even like to say the story is better with a sence of humor as the newbie Benjamin Carmine comes in and your first job is to either train him or ditch him and fight the locus. Then the game picks up its pace and has big killing moments, that you and your friends can go back and play over and over again. The Online has significantly improved, with matchmaking similar to halo's where you sit in a lobby of 5 and either invite your friends or search for a match, and then everyone gets to vote on a map of two choices if its a tie then it randomly picks the map. This feature eliminates the horrible host problems they had in The Original Gears of War, where host could kick you for no reason. The downside of matchmaking is the wait for matches sometimes it will jump you right into a match and others it takes 15 minits to find everyone and get in, this is a big problem but, they are working with Microsoft to fix the problem and its not because of less users playing the game because its the number 1 game on xbox live. There you have it, this game is worth it campaign is great, online is better.

They set out to make a direct sequel that would best its predecessor- and in short, they succeeded. Gears of War 2 is bigger and better than ever before. It takes every piece one step further, and the result is a "larger than life" action game that's a blast from start to finish.The campaign in Gears of War 2 immediately gives off more of a ...

      Memorable story & deep multiplayer makes GOW2 a solid package. 0

      Microsoft’s hype machine was set to eleven in November 2006 when the first iteration of the Gears of War series hit shelves worldwide. Epic rode the wave and created one of the best games of this generation while simultaneously knocking Halo off the Xbox Live most played list for the first time in two years. A sequel was inevitable, but with a twenty-four month turnover and the aforementioned hype machine running at a steady five or six, you’d be forgiven to think Epic were going to rest on thei...
