List All 7 PricesGears 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.
While Gears of War 2 bears significant improvements over the series' debut, it doesn't quite go the distance. The visuals are spectacular, the sound is awesome, the weapons and combat features are great and there's enough new stuff to keep both fans and newbies happy. Nonetheless, in terms of gameplay, Gears of War 2 hasn't moved the series forward yet, which should undoubtedly be their goal for the next installment. Read more
With an explosive single player, improved multiplayer, and an all-around polished feel, Gears of War 2 is better than the original by a large margin. Although the matchmaking system could use some work, the overall feel of the game is one of superior quality. Fans of the first will no doubt enjoy Gears of War 2’s additions while new players will find the wide variety enough to keep coming back for more. Read more
That Cliff Bleszinski and his crew have taken one of the most beloved Xbox 360 titles and managed to improve on it in every discernable way is nothing short of remarkable. It may not be the evolutionary leap forward for action games that its predecessor was, but rather a logical extension of the groundbreaking original. Not only does Gears of War 2 come highly recommended, but it’s easily one of the best games of the year. Rev up that chainsaw and join the battle... Read more
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
We waited two years for Gears of War 2 and it is worth every minute of that wait. Killer visuals, amazing sound, compelling story, tight-polished game play, expansive online play; this is a showcase title. My only disappointment is in knowing Gears of War 3 may take even longer to come to fruition. Read more
This game is an awesome single and co-op campaine. It cont. the story perfect and the graphics and twists in the story make the best game in 2008! Read more
My comment to and about this game is that this is the only game that is keeping the xbox live system thingy alive!!!!!!!!!!!Gears of War to me and most of my clan or group of Gears of War fans have thought it over and say that it should be the nimber 1 rated game Read more
Awesome campaign! I still don't like the GOW multiplayer. It takes 5-10 minutes to get a game, then someone inevitably drops out of the game and on 5 player teams with ~10 second respawns that is a huge deal. So you wait forever to get a game that is impossible to win. Like most Live! games, the matching system sucks. Advanced players are regularly matched up against novice players, making for less enjoyable gaming on both sides. Read more
Gears 2 is a GREAT game, probably one of the best ever made. The campaign is incredible and horde mode is fun (but gets boring after a while). The game, however, has some gigantic, game-breaking flaws when you try to play its online XBOX LIVE multiplayer. Matchmaking? Should be called Lagmaking. You will be matched against teams from several continents away. For example, I live in the USA on the east coast. So I'll hop on multiplayer for some online games, and get... Read more or see product
Where to begin, lets do the bad first. Was Gears of War better than the first ...yes, but not by much. The story expanded a little but not much. The overall story with the in fighting with the Locust was done very badly. Also the story about the Abandoned Research Lab led no where and was pretty pointless, except a little about Gears of War 3 which I'm sure will be coming out in a couple of years. Also the climax of the game was anti-climatic. The game was a little easy... Read more
