The Locust Horde is back and only you and your squad of elite soldiers stand between them and the death of every human being on the planet Sera. In Gears of War 2, entire cities are being destroyed in single attacks, and you must take the fight to the Locusts by battling them in their own underground lairs. You can play the whole of story mode with a friend The Boomer enemies are back in many different varieties The game’s ethos of “destroyed beauty” is still in full effect Shoot the Ticker enemies before they explode in your face The bestselling third-person shooter is back: bigger, better, and gorier than ever before. But you can’t just blast your way through it–this game requires far more tactics and cunning than your usual mindless shooter.

Without doubt the finest single player game I have played for the 360. It has a great immersive storyline with numerous intertwined subplots and regular breathtaking cutscenes that had me hooked. There is more variety in gameplay compared to GOW 1 with alot more vehicle scenes and challenges which are a welcome break from just duck and cover shooting. The game is also reasonably challenging and requires some patience on higher difficulties. There have been a number of new innovations building on the first game including more vehicle action and the introduction of mortars and shields and a constant flow of objectives other than just shooting everything in sight and some interesting new bosses which are all highly challenging and different. I have been playing for 10-12 hours on the second highest difficulty and still haven’t finished the game and the single player is alot longer and more varied than its rival Halo 3 which to be honest was much shorter as I completed it in under 8 hours on the higher difficulty. The enemy AI is very impressive and all enemies are capable of dishing out serious damage and killing you and there is a superb variety unparalleled in any other game which really make the game stand out from the rest. From grunts with shotguns, boomers with rocket launchers, flying reavers, Kantus that automatically revive dead teamates, tickers that carry explosives on their back, snipers, soldiers with flamethrowers, soldiers that ride on the back of strange two legged creatures, soldiers with exploding arrows and grenades. All of the enemies require different strategies to beat and quick thinking and reflexes are required when you have a horde of different types of enemies coming at you from all sides and it is much more varied and challenging because of the range of enemies. Overall I think they have taken the first game which was very good and rather than just sit on a tried and tested formula they have added new innovations and ideas to improve gameplay as well as having a more complex and emotional storyline to make the finest single player game currently available for the 360.

My favourite game ever!
I love this game so much, the missions set are truly amazing, even if you haven’t already played GOW1 you can more or less make out what its all about easily, which I myself found…

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!

The game’s story component puts you in the shoes of Marcus Fenix, who up until the very beginning of the game was serving time in prison for treasonous behavior. But the war effort requires his special brand of badness, so he’s quickly set free, dressed up in his old soldier garb, and put back into action with the members of Delta Squad. Your enemy is the menace known as the Locust, which seems to be an amalgamation of different races and creatures, all seemingly devoted to exterminating your kind and taking over your planet. The game’s plot points are inconsequential and work in a number of meaningless MacGuffin devices that serve as the only impetus you need to march from point A to point B while gunning down bad guys the whole way.

A behemoth for sure, but not as good as they say
Let me start by saying gears 2 is a brilliant game, and well worth the rrp, but that’s not to say it doesn’t meen it doesn’t have bad points.

In my humble opinion
Bought this for my son and he’s addicted to it, he’s played it through several times, personally I can’t see the appeal but he loves it, worth every penny.

Great sequel
Gears of War 2 will not displease fans of the previous game. The fast pace story a la action movie in which the player is surrounded after the very first minutes of play is…

Great Game
Gears of War 2 surpasses the original in every way, like the original Gears of War it has a good campaign, playing single player is fine, but it really comes to its own in co-op,…
