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...

When the Locust emerged from the ground on November 12th, 2006 to ravage the surface of the planet Sera, so too did Gears of War emerge as a mega franchise for the Xbox 360. Less than two years later, we're already being treated to a sequel.

It's safe to say that sales dictate the commercial success of a game, but a gaming success is something that latches onto the collective consciousness of the gaming community and doesn't let go.

Gears of War 2 hits you like an assault-rifle mounted chainsaw to the face.

Remains the most intense action series on the market; absolutely sublime graphics and production values; superb multiplayer for both co-op and competitive gamers; surprisingly lengthy campaign; tight controls; more balanced difficulty over the original

While improved over the original, storyline is still weak; can't quit multiplayer matches without resetting the game

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

Bigger, better and more badass. These are the words Cliff Bleszinski used when referring to Gears of War 2, raising expectations higher than its pred

Vastly improved campaign and online; Great new weapons and enemies; Excellent audio/visual presentation; Horde can get addicting

Improved yet basic story; Lacks major gameplay progression

This sequel is absloutely amazing. The game features one of the best story lines in the video games history. Unlike Gears of War 1, this sequel has a much longer campaign. The gamepaly is totally addicting. Great combat and shooting like no other video game.
