Bottom line, the game is very fun. I do admit that this was more of a segue to a part 3 because it was SO short (the campaign mode) and the game's ending just leaves you with more questions rather than answers. The developers of Gears 2 did the same thing that the developers of Halo 3 did, they focused more on the online multi-player aspect of the game. There's a drawback to that because not everyone is a fan of online competition. So you're left with the solo campaign mode and it has been said before with the other reviews I've read, you can beat this game at Normal difficulty in less than a day (probably less than 8hrs of actual play time needed). It's so short. At times, it just felt like move 50ft, duck and cover and shoot, move another 50ft, duck and cover and shoot, control a vehicle, a few creatures, hop on a crane or chopper every now and then, complete. It's almost a shame. I thought the game wasn't over after I finished off the last part of the game. I saw credits rolling and was immediately disappointed. The online multi-player aspect of the game is just as good as Halo 3's and Call of Duty 4's. But I was looking for a bit more in the solo campaign mode. There were just too many questions in the storyline left unanswered. Hence, I await Gears of War 3.
What's great about it: Co-op and multi-player has definitely improved over Gears 1
What's not so great: A lot of emphasis went on to the multi-player online aspect of the game. The campaign mode is SO short
I would recommend this to a friend!

This game is nonstop fun!!!! If you feel like taking on giant monsters with your friend you do horde. If you get tired of horde you just do live with your friends. Still slow on matchmaking, Barids Ai sux he rushes then he dies then you die saving him. All around fun and you can't get bored.
What's great about it: Horde, live, graphics
What's not so great: Computer AI

I have only one complaint about this game, and is that is way too short... and you dont really play against a boss, like you do on the first game. I havent tried online yet but i keep hearing it takes time to actually play. I would recommend this game, but do not play it every day, you could end up finishing it in a couple of days, thats what happen to me.
What's great about it: graphics, story line, weapons,
What's not so great: the game is short. you can finish it in less than 3 days

This is an outstanding game that is worth your hard earned money. The fun in Horde mode that you cam have with your friends is limitless. The intensity of the fight scenes and horde waves will have you on the edge of your seat. The graphics and environments are amazing and will cause jaw drops.
Epic's only shortfall was the two idiots you must babysit at times. The Friendly AI fustrated my friend and me as we had to split up with Baird and Cole a few times, which caused us some unnecessary deaths. The only other fustrating issue is the sometimes glitchy cover system. I found myself without sanctuary a few times on insane as my character fumbled around rolling into cover than actually taking cover.
Other than a few minor things this game delivered the goods. I can't wait until ACT 3. I will again be in line at midnight for the release.
What's great about it: Very Polished Challenging Games play with gorgeous environments. AI enemies are very intelligent at higher skill level.
What's not so great: Friendly AI, Cover movements sometimes glitchy.

If you like first person shooting games than you should buy this one. its has a great storyline to follow and the graphics are great.

What's great about it: EVERYTHING...graphics, storyline, best game out there.
What's not so great: nothing.....

The long awaited sequel, Gears of War 2 really delivers. The continuous story of the Horde invasion and back story of E-day takes you to an adventure in depth. Although the game is as short as the first, it is still fun to play online and with friends.
What's great about it: New characters, awesome new weapons, Horde Mode
What's not so great: Gameplay is still short...
I would recommend this to a friend!
