Brief synopsis of Gears of War 2

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.

Didnt get into the story, just like GOW1...

I really should stop renting 3rd Person Shooters from Blockbusters....

Another waste of money...

Rated - 5 starsGears 2 is BRILLIANT

A customer from Telford , 08/11/2008

Woah

What can I say about this game?

It is THE best game released for the XBOX 360 ever. Period.

The graphics are so realistic, the voice acting really makes it feel like you are there, and the brand new enemies make you think how to defeat them.

I was let down by the ending though, It was ALOT easier to kill RAAM (in Gears 1)

But anyway 5 stars

Rated - 3 starsmore of the same. nothin special

ScouseSte from Liverpool , 16/04/2009

you know what? i really like the first gears of war. it was dead sound. i played it through co-op about 4 times and banged the multiplayer a bit. when i rented this one i played it single player and it was dead boring. it's just the same as the first one but now it has more interestinger set pieces and more enemies (more enemies = more cheese grating on your patience). playing on my own just didn't cut it, so i stopped around act 4. now i don't care what happens in the story, nor future storylines. although, i'll play em regardless.

personally, i hope dom and marcus have a dead emotional man kiss at the end of the 3rd one. but only if you beat it on hardcore difficulty.
