If you thought Gears couldn't get better, you were wrong. The campaign is a little longer this time around. There are still 5 Acts, but more chapters. If you haven't played the GOW 1 capaign, like my bud who I beat it with, don't worry because the storyline isn't the best anyways. It's more about the action than the story in Gears 2. Finnally you can play ranked matches with your friends. There are five diffrent ranks online. If you felt like you were always playing people with no lives in GOW 1, worry no more you will only play people with similar ture skill. Personally I liked this game more than Cod 5, but thats just me.
What's great about it: Great to play with four other friends online + action in campaign is awesome
What's not so great: People quitting online, storyline seems like a 7th grader could have written it, the last chapter of campaign is boring

It stills feels great to chainsaw the enemy. In this game each mode is very strong. Single player and coop feels lie a great ride. Multiplayer is difficult but with practice and with friends it is alot of fun. Horde mode is the bomb. Play by yourself or with four friends and try to survive 50 stages that get progressively harder.
What's great about it: Graphics, action, multiplayer, weapons, great enemies
What's not so great: Story is better than last but it has some holes

this is a true war game and makes you see and feel what a real battle is like, the story is amazing and they put u on vehicles,reavers,etc. when the first one was more of always staying on the ground. there is 4 different difficulties so you should have no problem finding the one that fits you best. Horde is very fun to stay up late at night and play with your friends where you fight wave after wave of locust. the multiplayer is awesome and has great maps that vary in weapons and i hope to see some map packs. The graphics, stunning graphics, i can not express how great they are and then with all the detail in this game. So i chainsawed a smelly locusts body in half and i could aim for a close up view at his body and see the ribs intestinse and heart, very realistic death and bodies explode into pieces with a nice shot with the boom. its very detailed with voice too for example when you get an active reload your character might say something like "yea baby!". Call of duty and halo arent even close to this game when it comes to graphics and detail, preety sad when i shoot a guy with the rpg in CoD and his body just falls over. If your looking for an alternative from cod or halo for multiplayer come to this game and it takes skill like halo but unlike cod where you just run out and shoot a guy with your P90 4 times then he dies then you die in 4 shots then you just respawn.
What's great about it: difficulties, multiplayer, campaign, intense graphics, sound, very very detailed, fun,fun,fun
What's not so great: they fixed the slow matchmaking after a week so there is nothing wrong with it yet

i am a huge fan of gears, epic has yet again changed the gaming world. true 1080p graphics, i use a samsung plasma 42 inch so almost all games look amazing, i used an old tv and it still looks better than ever. main quest is very good, horde mode is amazing, a new gameplay mode that you can even play alone. everything about this game is an upgrade, a must buy. i recommend this to anyone who likes challenging games this is for you.
What's great about it: amazing upgrade from the first

This game easily tops GOW with its new features and abilities. I have one thing to say HORDE IS THE GREATEST THING EVER. other than that insane is literally insane and some of the achievements are greatly over exaggerated but otherwise great game.
What's great about it: The graphics, the content, the story line, the weapons, the enemies, and HORDE
What's not so great: Campaign on Insane, and achievements
