Review

 




Gears of War 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the 5 million-selling blockbuster action game and one of the most popular Xbox 360 games in history.

Players continue as Marcus Fenix, a reluctant war hero and leader of Delta Squad, six months after the events of "Gears of War." The last cities on Sera are sinking, swallowed by a new Locust threat from below. A massive counterattack is humanity's last hope for survival. Gears of War 2 blends a best-in-class third-person shooter with unsurpassed high-definition visuals, all layered on top of an engaging story of survival, loss and retribution. Gears of War 2 is developed by Epic Games exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Great Game, Bad GOTY Package

Anakes | 12/10/2009 | See all Anakes' reviews (6) »

This game has been reviewed countless times before so i will not bore you with the details of the game, this review is for the GOTY package and in all honesty its just plain bad.

This GOTY does indeed include all the map packs and the extra campaign chapter thats on the xbox live marketplace, however the content comes in the form of a code on a piece of card that you scratch off and imput on xbox live, other GOTY editions out there like the new Fable 2 one, the previous Oblivion GOTY and the upcoming Fallout 3 GOTY were smart enough to include the content on the main game disc or on a second disc so you can use it again and again, this game does no such thing so basically once you have used the code it ceases to be a GOTY editon of Gears 2.

In closing, the game is great but is letdown by a sub-par GOTY edition that other games do so much better.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Gears 2 Ultimate!
