5 out of 5 stars Great game, great purchase   November 17, 2008
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

Very fun game, campaign is brilliant, the Horde battle game type is great and multi-player is very good.

Campaign is excellent, there are few flaws I've found, the only one I've found which caused me to stop for a while was a Locust who had managed to get under the floor.

Multi-player. This definitely has it's flaws, but these WILL be fixed. First of all, the gameplay is fantastic. I've had many good games with my friends, the satisfaction of getting headshots, watching people get blown to little pieces of flesh by your proximity mine really is spectacular. Meanwhile, there ARE connection issues. Matchmaking can often take a long time to connect, disconnections are common throughout playing and these really 'grinds my gears'.

Also if you've played Gears of War 1 you might be surprised to see the power of the Gnasher (Shotgun) reduced by quite a bit, which I found to be a bit of a disappointment, and lancers are a lot more effective. There is also the problem of the chainsaw attachments for the lancer, the way the chainsaw doesn't seem to 'knock down', and people can just run at you with chainsaws.

Campaign - 5/5, Very good overall, co-op is also fantastic
Multiplayer - 4/5 Great gameplay but not without it's flaws, connection issues

Overall 4/5, I'd definitely reccomend this game, it is superb, just try not to get frustrated over the connection issues!

Finally recieved my copy of Gears of War 2 on friday and what can I say. The Campaign is absolutley amazing, breathtaking and thrilling. Cinematic along with amazing graphics and the emotion added in makes this one of the most exhillerating campaigns I have yet experienced. Multiplayer is different although still great with loads of new game modes including horde which is a great laugh with friends. Overall the best shooter on the 360 and probably this gen. Haven't had this much fun in a while. A MUST BUY!

Ok - so its not out yet, but I got a little overexcited and searched through some leaked video footage.
What is better?

+ New execution techniques - reverse chainsaw (groin upwards!).
+ Chainsaw battles. 2 people pressing B at the same time lock chainsaws and duel.
+ Old weapons are still there
+ New weapons have been added - my favorite so far. Its between the flame thrower and the tag proximity mine (remember Goldeneye?)
+ Gridlock is still there (love that level) and there are loads of new ones.
+ When you down an enemy you can pick them up and drag them around like a shield - sweeeet!
+ New revamped online games - execution and capture the flag (the flag is a person. You down them, pick them up and drag them back to your "castle".
+ If you get downed you can press buttons and crawl into cover.

So much more. Have ordered this and hope to on line in several pieces crawling about for cover in bits and on fire on Friday night. See you there: Gamer Tag: sarge_mj



5 out of 5 stars Absolutely outstanding...   May 22, 2008

After having this game for a few days now I can definitely say that this game certainly lives up to the hype.

The single player is truly outstanding. The graphics are the best I have ever seen in any game. They have kept the same basic cover,aiming & shooting system, but tweaked it very slightly which makes the cover system a vast improvement. (no more getting stuck on walls etc!)

The scale of the single player campaign is increadable. Gears 1 was very compact and based more on small fire-fights, not so in gears 2. You will face massive battles against some truly massive new locust and there is more of a sense of being a part of a massive army, rather than just your own squad.

The story line is absolutely epic. It really has to be experienced. there are some truly fantastic moments throughout. The music is also brilliant, some of the best I have ever heard in a video game. The whole general presentation is outstanding. The single player is worth 40 alone.

On to multilayer, which I'm sure will be the most popular part of this game. I have to say I agree with all the critics in horde mode (where you take on up to 50 waves of very increasingly difficult enemies. It is sooo much fun! Up to five player can play on any of the 15 maps and it is the most addictive multiplayer mode I have every played!

Other game modes vary from standard warzone, submission, annex etc. which are all very solid. The introduction of a party system makes joining games so much easier, and now you can jump in with friends very easily.
I'm sure this will be the most played game on live for quite some time.

Over all I can hardly find any faults with any part of this game. This is truly the best game I have played, ever. Believe the hype, even if you didn't buy the 1st one, if you have a 360, buy now!

10/10
