This game has a kick butt campaign, that being said the multiplayer online is significantly lacking. Multiplayer is a mess with tons of lag and long loading times. Overall one of my favorite games for the 360, don't know if I would want to pay $60 though.
What's great about it: Campaign, Weapons, Characters
What's not so great: Multiplayer

from cedar rapids, ia
when i bought gears of war it was awaome. when i had heard of gears of war 2 i went out and bought the day after christmas. it was the best game ever. in my top three favorite games it would be the first and then cod4 and then codwaw. the campain is really fun and with two people it is even better. my friend came over and we played it. he didnt like the first one at all but when he played this one he felt so guilty because he loved it so much. this is probably going to be the game of the year and a must own.
What's great about it: campain,guns,co op,ect
What's not so great: nothing so far
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'll start by saying I was not a very big fan of the first game. I finished it, spat on the multiplayer, gave it a 6/10 and went on my way.
And while the multiplayer is still pretty horrible (excluding Horde mode) i was very surprised by the campaign.
The vague, empty storyline of the first game is drastically continued upon. The game touches on where the locust come from, why they are fighting, and even a nice little twist toward the end.
The story is just as nice on the human side. Jacinto, the last human stronghold, is under threat. Its up to Delta Squad to go into Locust territory and stop whatever it is that is sinking all the cities. On top of that, Dom's wife Maria is missing, and Delta squad is trying to find her. It adds a needed human touch the game.
The enviornments are awesome...much, much, MUCH, better then the first game. There is actually a sense of epicness and scope, something that the first game lacked.
That being said, the lead developer, Cliffy B, stated "Gears of War 2 will be bigger and more bad a** then the first one" And while thats true, its like comparing chocolate to sour milk. While I wouldn't exactly call Gears of War 2 "Bad a**" Its still a very nicely done game. Just stay away from the multiplayer, and its dreadful matchmaking system.
8.9/10
What's great about it: Graphics, story, combat
What's not so great: Loads of texture problems, LOTS of bugs.

If you liked Gears of War 1 then this will be worth buying. Its definetly better than the first, and the game gets even better if you do some online co-op. I play more for the campaign and it fills a couple gaps that i aparently missed. Anyway worth it love it got to buy it!!
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Weird bugs, few and far between

I finally got the game maybe two weeks after it was officially released after convincing my idiot brother that Call of Duty 5 sucked and he made a mistake on impulsively buying it instead of GoW 2. It had been a long time since I played Gow 1, so my memory was a bit shady on how its graphics were, but I think that the graphics in GoW 2 are maybe slightly better pertaining to shadows and water effects. The same gameplay is still here with debuts of some new weapons in your arsenal. In GoW 2, even reloading a weapon can be somewhat fun. The Locust (the bad guys of the game) are now even smarter than they were in Gow now that they can chop you in half with a chainsaw bayonet. GoW wasn't made for the storyline, so don't expect any drama or moments that might make a more light hearted gamer shed some tears. After reading this, you shouldn't let your metaphorical "dumb older brother" keep you from getting this game because it's just that good. And also, if you are younger than eighteen years old, don't try to get the game at a store unless you can talk your dad into doing it for you.
What's great about it: Graphics, weapons, so much gore, chainsaw bayonet
What's not so great: too much gore, few environments, might be a bit on the short side
