    Gears of War 2 is just plain fun


    Anyone one who bought the first Gears, like me, would've been salavating in anticipation for the release of Gears 2 (ok, maybe not salavating, but really, really excited), and the anticipation has been met.

    So, everyoneone knows there was not much of a story in the first game, it was just moving from a to b, action style, for guys that like shootin stuff, blah, blah, blah. The second game will satisfy Mass Effect (possibly, maybe) fans with its storytelling. New characters are introduced and there's a big focus on Dom finding his wife. The graphics are incredible, the landscapes huge (and the beasts) and the detalis fine. There are new guns, that all look and sound awesome, the gameplay is pretty much exactly the same as Gears 1, hidin behind walls and covenient obstacles and poppin up to shoot. Also, this game is longer than the first, and a lot funner (no Beserkers), the multiplayer is great (Horde mode) and this is an overall far meatier package.

    So why not 10/10, well although its a better game than the first, it definetly won't have the same impact, but its still the best third person shooter on the 360. Also, the end bossfight is a waste of time (it could have been a billion times better).

      The original Gears of War was one of the Xbox 360's first "must own" titles, but the good folks over at Epic Games weren't content to rest on their laurels. 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...
