  • 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.

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.

You cannot go wrong with this game. Excellent graphics, excellent play - the physics are amazing and the story line is epic. You see the true beauty of the game when you play online - either in story or multiplayer mode - it is addictive and full of adrenaline, and a reason to buy yourself a headset if you do not have one. Prepare to start hating the Locust Horde as you battle your way to freedom.

A true Xbox classic!

I loved gears of war 1 !!! But they have ruined gears of war 2 !!! I loved the campain ! The story was awsome !!! The new weopons are excellent, you can tell they thought about them. But i am hugely disappointed with the online play ! Its just to slow !!! The whole game needs speeding up !!! I used to love having shotgun battles and snipeing on gears 1. You dont get any of the classic fun and pace from the first gears, what a shame !!! Could of been brilliant, i think they were given to much money and they went overboard.....

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars WOW
