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.

Like a more intimidating and brutal Dick and Dom, Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago once again lead Delta Squad into combat with the Locust Horde along old favourites Damon Baird and Augustus Cole.

great story

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.

gears of war 2 is a fantastic third person shooter.

Gears of War 2 is one of the most intense and viscerally enjoyable and sensually appealing gaming experiences that you'll likely have this holiday season.

While Gears of War 2 bears significant improvements over the series' debut, it doesn't quite go the distance. The visuals are spectacular, the sound is awesome, the weapons and combat features are great and there's enough new stuff to keep both fans and newbies happy.

An epic; unforgettable experience; incredible atmosphere; one of the best shooters out there

Not quite there yet in terms of innovation; a few AI bugs and intermittently glitchy driving sequences

The original Gears of War profiled itself as an epic action game that unraveled itself much like the well known blockbuster movies that end up in theatres every summer. Plenty of action, big explosions and enough comic relief are injected into the experience to cover up the lack of true story.

The original Gears of War was a blockbuster hit for Microsoft and Epic in more ways than one. It served as tech demo, showcasing some of the best graphics that the Xbox 360 and the Unreal Engine could muster.

Horde mode steals the show; Story delves into inner workings of Locust; Improved graphics showcase Xbox 360; Independently adjustable difficulty in co-op; Multiplayer party system is nicely done; AI plays a lot better this time around

Final boss battle is a joke

The original game "Gears of War" was one of the best games of 2007, winning numerous awards and bringing break through gameplay to many gamers. Now, 2 years later how does the sequel square up to the original, and how can one improve on near perfection. Overview Monkey dogs.
