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.
Epic Games is back for round two with their groundbreaking intellectual property Gears of War, and this time, it's not just a clever name. Gears of War 2 is easy enough to describe, you don't have to look any further than the developers name. Epic. In scope, in design, in graphical prowess, this game delivers on a high level throughout the entire experience. It manages to provide a countless amount of 'Oooos' and 'Awwwws' and can at times be breathtaking. In an era of... Read more
Back in 2006, Gears of War came out for the Xbox 360 and shocked the videogame industry. The game was hyped up for months prior to its release and received vast coverage from the gaming media. When the game finally came to be released, it opened to both large critical acclaim and sales. Epic had taken the ideas of third person, squad based, and strategy shooters and mixed them with a well-designed cover system. The release re-energized the 360 fanbase and made for a very...

Now, even with the serious third-act problems in the game’s script and the uninspired characters, this is still a very good game. After all, Gears 2 is, first and foremost, an action game. It’s raison d’etre is to amuse and entertain, the emphasis on gunfire and testosterone. The developers went into the game specifically with action and tight gameplay in mind, and those aspects of the game absolutely sparkle. There’s a distinct visceral thrill you feel when... Read more
The original Gears of War was the reason I swallowed my pride and all my hatred for the Xbox 360. As soon as I saw it at my friend’s house I was hooked, and after my first time playing the multiplayer online against other friends I knew that my life actually had a meaning. Then along comes Gears of War 2 to show me that the original game in fact sucked by comparison. GoW2 takes everything the first game did right and takes it to the next level, and multiplayer is no...

Gears of War 2 hat mich nur in einem Punkt enttäuscht…..als es zu Ende war. Die Erwartungen die man an die Weiterführung einer Geschichte oder an einen zweiten Teil hängt, werden oft enttäuscht. Doch nicht in diesem Fall. Schon zu Beginn sieht man das, was man im vorangegangenen Teil als Verbesserungswürdig angemerkt hat. Detailreiche Texturen, stimmungsvolle Schauplätze, perfekte Animationen, mitreißende Dramatik und geile Zwischenvideos ohne Ende. Kreaturen... Read more
Gears of War once again proves to be completely bad@ss. Visuals are good, multiplayer is great, has lots of dlc and different game mode to keep you playing forever, it's fun as hell with great controls and gameplay throughout, and campaign and boss fights are crazy (in a good way) - no berserkers though :( Overall it's awesome. But duh, of course it is. It is Gears of F**cking War. - wuff Read more
Fun: This game is awesome. I love the GOW story, so I am really into the single player campaign. One thing: This game is way better than the first one for single player. You will ride monsters and a variety of vehicles in the game. When it comes to multiplayer it's pretty much the same thing (people only shooting you from close range with a shotgun) but it seems you have better chances in this game with the lancer...apparently it does more damage than in the first game....

Great game. The multiplayer is not at great as the first one. its good just different. great story line. good play! Read more
Okokok, we all played the first one... and if you were a die hard Gears of War one fan... you might be skeptical about buying this game. They tried to change too much and the shotgun... well its got less spread and more range... and its extremely hard to judge the opposing players damage. For example you might swear the one more 'flick' to the body would kill them... yet two more direct shots and they still manage to get away... or even worse they turn around and somehow... Read more
