I bought Gears Of War 2 on its release date which was November 7th, 2008. I purchased the limited edition game that included a booklet that displays the behind the scenes artwork and making of the game. a bonus disk along with the game that are in a tin case, and a keepsake photo of Dom and Maria. it also came with a code card which will give you a free 48-hour trial of Xbox Live Gold membership, a code to download a map pack of 5 and a code to unlock a gold lancer assault rifle.
I was really looking forward to the sequel to one the Xbox 360 most popular video games. Gears of War 1 was an excellent game. it had excellent graphics with a story that grabbed your attention. the creativity in the weapons and the story made this game stand out from the others. in my opinion I like to think of Gears of War (both 1 and 2) a revolutionized Halo.
Like Halo, Gears of War both 1 and 2, have excellent online play that brings that scary, exciting chop 'till you drop game play feeling right to your television. Online play has very similar features to Halo 3 but in Gears of War 2 you cannot have guests play with you.
If you like exciting shooters with an excellent story and amazing graphics Gears of War is your game. however I highly recommend that you buy Gears of War 1 before you buy Gears of War 2 (If you haven't already).
Gears of War as gone so far with its High Definition graphics. the Xbox 360 has always had the option of having high definition but you can really see it in gears of war. with many new moves in the game like being able to hold an enemy hostage and use them as a shield and the new execution moves really make the game come alive.
What's great about it: Amazing graphics, Excellent story, Creative Gameplay
What's not so great: Nothing what so ever
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gears 2 is a really good game the graphics were awesome and so were some of the new weapons. the one bad thing i mentioned is a pain in the but when your on the boat and the fish thing attacks and you take cover you get stuck in the air and it is a real pain in the but to get unstuck. the other bad thing about it is the some of the story left you hanging
What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: some glitches when your on the boat

I bought the Limited Edition version of the game the same day it was released and I definitely recommend buying this version than the standard version. You get extra maps, a 48 hour gold membership trial if you don't already have it, and a gold lancer that makes chainsawing your opponents online with style!! The storyline is great, and their are newer and much tougher enemies now. There are new weapons in the game, but nothing still compares to taking out a grub with a headshot from the sniper rifle, or cutting them down with the chainsaw!!! Although COD: World at War will be coming out soon, it will be tough to outdo GOW2!! GOW2 could most likely win another Game of the Year award!! Buy the game, and good hunting!!!!
What's great about it: EVERYTHING!!!
What's not so great: NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY TO KEEP PLAYING IT!!!!!

Worth the Hype!!!!

Gears of War 2 is one of those few games where the experience is worth the hype. This game does what every game sequal should do be greater then the first.
The Graphics are fabulous. The visuals during key moments are spectacular but I will not give those away. You will have to see them for yourself. One of the coolest new visuals is when you are shooting your Lancer the tip of the gun will start to glow red from getting hot.
The story is much improved from the first. You really get to understand the characters that you have grown to love. The war is so much larger in this game and you feel it. You are still with the same group of guys from the first. You seem to be the best squad out there. There are some great moments in the game that you will want to go back and play again.
Multiplayer has seen the biggest improvement. In Gears 1 it seemed that multiplayer was an after thought but it was still one of the best multiplayer out there. In Gears 2 they have upgraded in every aspect. It is now much easier to get into games with your friends. There are more game types and new maps to play on. As a bonus when you buy the game there is a code for a free classic maps download that has some of the maps from the first game but with revamped graphics. These are maps like Mansion, Canals, and Gridlock to name a few. Some multiplayer types are Warzone (just like the first game with 5 vs 5 deathmatches), Submission (Meat flag or capture the flag with the flag being a person the computer playes that fights back), Wingman (2vs2vs2vs2vs2 mode where you battle it out for the most kills as a team) and Horde mode.
Horde mode is the best multiplayer experience ever. You play with up to 5 player and you battle the Locust Horde in waves. The enemies get harder and harder as you go on. Every 10 waves the Horde gets stronger and has better weapons. I have gotten up to level 39 so far and it takes 3 boomshots to kill one guy.
For weapons all of the ones from the first are back plus a new burst pistol, flame-thrower, mortar, and mini-gun.
Gears 2 is a definate pickup for any Xbox 360 owner and shooter fan.
What's great about it: Horde mode, Story Line, Familiar controls
What's not so great: Some glitches that can be fixed with update

Its amazing whats not to like about it. The game is addicting and you will probably lose track of time playing it on live with your friends. The graphics are awesome and clear and i like how there is a better storyline to the game. There are glitches, but I'm sure they will be fixed. Its not a game for kids under 17 and I know there are younger kids playing it, but please if youre are a parent say no to ur children. Im 17 and when the first one came out i played it when i was younger but im talking like 8 year olds playing a bloody and violent game like this. Id definitely recommend this to others but not if you are under 17.
What's great about it: Amazing...its everything from the first game, but better
What's not so great: Addicting

I Bought Gears of War 2 on friday the day that it came out. I have not let go of that game since it was simply the most impressive game i have ever played.
The story takes place 6 months later following Marcus and Dom to find Dom's wife Maria while trying to stop the war between humans and locusts. Story = FANTASTIC! theres so many good plot points and the game will want u begging for more.
Multiplayer - One aspect alone....horde mode. That is the most significantly fun thing in Gears of War 2 in my opinion. Once u get done beating the story like 12412412412 times then u can have fun and chill with friends playing horde mode its really great.
All in all i think they should have made this game more than 60$ cause its so freaking epic! Best game ive played in years.
What's great about it: Graphics, Story, Multiplayer, EVERYTHING!
What's not so great: Wish there was more Horde Mode Waves.

Gears 2 is the most exciting game I have ever played. It's better than any horror movie you can see. The storyline is amazing, the way it plays out, the bosses, the critical thinking involved. I play on an old analog TV, but I see the greatest graphics. In a way to wrap this up... Best Game Ever.
What's great about it: Great graphics, sound, storyline, weapons, enemies, allies, Etc.
What's not so great: Too addicting
I would recommend this to a friend!
