This game is meant to be played through with a friend. I got so much satisfaction completing the storyline together. The graphics are great and the game itself is quite fun. The cover system works most of the time but there were times I couldn't get the character to stick to a specific wall.

Sound: hate marcus voice everything else is good multiplayer: horde was a saving grace for me in multiplayer. in the original the multiplayer felt more balanced, shotgun killed who it was suppose to kill, you didnt have freaking smoke grenades! and there just was a sense of originallity to the maps.

A shame to kill her The dungeon crawler genre is one that has been seriously under-represented on the home consoles. While it hardly screams ‘INNOVATION,' there is something about ploughing your way through hordes of fantasy creatures using a plethora of increasingly powerful abilities and weapons:...

Fast and fluid combat; a refreshingly traditional Action-RPG

Poorly developed multiplayer; trivial dialogue

Now this is how you make a sequel! The wait is finally over; the sequel […]

+ One of the best looking games ever; + Incredibly story; + Voice acting is top notch; + Multiplayer is the best Ive played in recent memory

End boss fight disappoints; At times; partner AI is annoyingly dumb

Great game! Grab gears of war 1, 2 before 3 comes out next year.

Good single player story mode; Addicting online gaming experience; Spent hours and hours and hours playing online

Extra Maps and Added Missions cost extra

This game is a lot better than the first one, only thing with gears of war 2 is it's way to short. Other than that you can't fault the game.

The way that the developer went on about the story of Gears of War 2 you would have thought it was the deepest thing ever, well the reality is very different, as whilst it's an improvement over the original, it's not exactly vast enough to announce it from the rooftops with great enthusiasm.

Took all of the greatness of GoW 1 and took to another level again, with gorgeous graphics and a better gameplay experience. Storyline wasn't interesting as the first, but thats not to say it was bad. Multiplayer has improved a lot, but still has many issues.

Been playing this game alot online and found it to be one of the best online games the xbox 360 has to offer. Horde Mode is alot of fun (very much like Halo 3 ODST new multiplayer mode), In horde you have to flight in a group waves of emeny units which countine to get harder each wave.

Challenging; Engaging Story Line; Gameplay; Graphics; Great Sound; Multiplayer

Hard to Learn; Poor Instructions

When you drove your chainsaw through someone's sternum in the original Gears of War, did you think the game just wasn't bloody or visceral enough How about that time when a dozen eight-foot-tall super-warriors ambushed you in a dimly lit alien cavern; did you wonder if the intensity needed to be...
