Non stop action w/ a new Co-op that lets you play with 4 friends, and 10 people on Multiplayer (different plots). Sick new weapons, use the Flamethrower to toast some Locust, if fire isn't your thing try a Mortar Cannon thats a bone crusher.The Locust come out with some Huge sick looking crazy...oh your going to find that out yourself. Great story line.
The story fills in some holes from pt.1 and you learn more about the characters history. To quickly break it down the graphics, new moves and finishing kills, machines, weapons. new Cog members, the Golden Lancer. This game is KRAZE-SICK and everyone that worked on the game didn't let us down. Go and get it. I got the Limeted Edition and it's worth every penny. It will beat Halo3 sales and will be on the top seller list for a while. THIS GAME ROCKS!
What's great about it: Everything. If I had to list it I would run out of room

I have played the game since last night (yes, I was fortunate to have it a bit ahead or official release) so I cannot make a full comment about it.
Anyway, the game plays and feels just like the first one, this means that you get all the same fun. There are new weapons and enemies added and this adds a bit of freshness. Also, the AI for the enemies has improved in some areas, for example, they can now heal each other just as COG's can. I really like that. On the other hand, I know they are supposed to be smarter but they do not seem too much, just in some cases I could notice that they were not that dumb but it is hard to tell.
Overall, it feels more like playing an expansion to GOW 1 than a new game, usually expansion packs offer innovations and additions to game play besides extra play time. This is exactly what GOW 2 feels like.
It is still very fun to play and was exactly what I was looking for. Perhaps as the story evolves it may really feel as a new game rather than an expansion. This is why I gave it 4 stars overall but 5 to fun.
To the person who said you cannot invite a friend to play with you online, she must learn to read the manual and also check the menus. Perhaps she's doing something wrong becase as far as I know the support is there.

I just got it and from the start the graphics were amazing and I noticed it was a little better. but it is basically the same way of shooting and everything. The cool new things are u can drag ur self when u get shot and ur hurt. the guns are sweet. the monsters are just amazing along with the graphics. Its just a mine blowing game. I think it is just a lot more fun than gears of war 1. The co op is the way to go, play with some one and its a lot funner. There are just so many futuristic things u do in it. Just buy it and play it with a friend!!!
What's great about it: Graphics, story, weapons, vehicles, enemies.
What's not so great: Gameplay is not much different than the first one.
