this game is awsome! but there is some issues with it. the shotgun used to be awsome but they took down the power and the how fast it shoots. and when someone revs up there chain saw you can no longer stagger them so they will just keep coming. the revolver is no longer that cool because you cant blow off limbs. hammer of dawn now has ammo, and the sniper isnt as accurate. it is very anoying because sometimes ull be having a good match and then the host will quit and so u dont get any points that match. other than those issues the game is geat. the new modes are fun. the new executions are awsome, the boss battles in sigle player are more fun.
pick this game up and also if havent already, buy the first gears of war, you enjoy that maybe even more
What's great about it: online, campain, new modes and new executions
What's not so great: downgraded some of the weapons, gears1 is better

Gears of War 2 is similar to halo 3 in one way; it's one of those landmark games that people will remember forever. It has very few things to complain about (but the things you can complain about, everybody does). The main thing I hear complained about is the lag. People new to the game find that Gears 2 has massive lag, but they haven't seen nothing until they've seen the lag in Gears 1. But actually, I rarely have lag. People who have played Gears of War 1 usually complain that Epic screwed up the shotgun. (I have Gears 1, and) I think they fixed it, because I was constantly watching my head come off because of stupid people who roll everywhere with their shotgun out. On the good side, the new Gears has many new things to offer. Some of the new stuff in Gears 2 include Horde, stopping power, a new downing system, and many changes to weapons (damage, accuracy, etc). I'm not going to explain all this stuff because it would take forever, so go to their website or youtube for more info. It's actually hard to explain why Gears of War is such a good game. Like I said at the top, I love "the feeling you get when you literally blow your enemies to pieces." I wish they added a few more chainsaw animations (like a beheading kind of thing). If that's too intense, you can always turn off the blood. Oh yeah, I forgot about the enemies. I LOVE what Epic has added to the enemy arsenal. In Gears 1, all you fought (for the most part) was drones, wretches, and a few boomers and theron guards; Nothing special. But in Gears 2, there's masses of new enemies; butchers, grinders, grenadiers, reavers, tickers, "cyclops", and some other things I can't remember the name of. I could go on for a while, but reading the whole thing would get boring. In short, Gears of War 2 is DEFINITELY a game you should get. One problem is that it's so bloody, many parents don't allow it (I see where they're coming from). If you can get your hands on this, by all means, buy it. When I rated this game, and noticed that everything has 5 stars, I was like, "That can't be right." But it is; this game is five star quality. It is BY FAR a better game than Call of duty world at war (but it's competitive with COD4). I haven't played Halo 3 since I got this game, and mainly because people's heads don't come off in Halo.
What's great about it: The feeling you get when you literally blow your enemies to pieces, good story, etc.
What's not so great: online lag (sometimes), other things that could be fixed with patches

I like everything about Gears of War 2. Way better than Gears of War 1. I bought CoD5 thinking it would be better than GoW2. My god was I wrong! CoD5 was a huge let down. GoW really out did themselves on the sequel. Applause Applause EPIC GAMES! *clap* *clap*. You want a fun, exiting game for you xbxo 360 console. Buy Gears Of War 2!

I loved the game. The storyline was great, the weapons are awesome, and its cool to kill a downed man in different ways. The chainsaw battles are fun, Horde is amazing (well for me). The downsides, theres a little lag here and there on live, but it really doesnt effect me that much. Also, wth Epic?! why take out the berserker?? they were fun to fight in the first one and i was hoping to fight them again!
What's great about it: The storyline, the different ways you can kill a downed enemy, horde is addictive for me
What's not so great: Sometimes a little lag on live, THEY GOT RID OF THE BERSERKER!?!?!
