Special Features

 

  • Unparalleled gameplay. Gears of War 2 takes the award-winning gameplay of the original and improves upon it in every way. The genre-defining cover system is further refined, making the "stop and pop" gameplay more intuitive. Dynamic cover is given new meaning as downed opponents can be picked up and used as shields. The intimate violence of the battlefield is heightened when combatants engage in chainsaw duels. Destructible environments and vicious new finishing moves add to the over-the-top experience.
  • Jaw-dropping visuals. Gears of War 2 continues to raise the graphics bar through its breathtaking visual effects, made possible through advances in Unreal Engine 3.
  • Engaging experience that pulls you in and won't let go. Gears of War 2 takes deep and immersive storytelling in videogames to greater heights. Players connect with humanity's battle for survival on a personal level as they move through a story that introduces new characters and sheds light on the histories of familiar ones.
  • Expanded cooperative play. Team up with a friend to fight through the harrowing story of Delta Squad in the enhanced campaign mode, now featuring drop-in/drop-out gameplay, as well as individual player difficulty options. Or recruit four friends to battle in the new game mode "Horde," where you'll fight together to fend off a seemingly endless onslaught of Locust forces to attain the highest score.
  • Fierce and varied competitive multiplayer action. Gears of War 2 features eight distinct multiplayer modes, including the new Wingman, Guardian and Submission modes, where up to 10 players choose a side and pit their courage and battlefield mettle directly against others. In addition, multiplayer bots are available to sharpen your skills offline or to fill out your online private matches on Xbox LIVE.

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: 5 out of 5 stars awesome game

this game must be one of the best for the 360. the single player or co-op is brilliant and isn't too short or drag on too long. the only problem i had with this game was when it first came out it was hard to get in a multiplayer game but now epic has sorted it out and it's brilliant on xbox live.
only a few games suffer from lag but most of the time it's spot on. now made better with an update as you level up in online games with experience points. in a nutshell buy this game!!!!!

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars A great game but

It is a great game as the story is good and the multi-player is better than playing alone and the graphics are out of this world but the weapons are rubbish and the game gets a bit repetitive and boring after you do the story and play on all the maps even the new ones. So buy it but it get boring.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Looks good,but where is the game!

This is to gaming what Transformers is to films,style over substance,true the graphics are awesome,amongst the best on 360(if you like almost monochrome throughout ,that is!)but what has been forgotten(as in gow1)is that it might be a good idea to put a game in there as well,it really does get old fast,duck behind cover,lean out or blindfire from said cover until coast is clear and run to next cover,guess what,duck behind and...oh hell im sure you follow where this is going,it really does get boring.
If you want a game that does the shooting from cover thing but also has an engaging game,then tey out Rainbow six Vegas 1 or 2, or Brothers in Arms...they are better GAMES than this,and dont let the shallow fanboys impress you with their overblown 5 star reviews.
