This is one of the funnest games I have ever played...something about blowing someones head off with a shotty never gets old. There are a lot of glitches which are becoming less all the time...the newest one is ammo glitching online where you get twice the ammo and grenades.
People sit around and find ways to cheat on this game which takes some of the fun out of it, other than that the campaign mode is fun especially with a friend, I even got my girlfriend to play it with me and enjoyed it.
Anyone with a 360 over the age of 12 should have this game....this is pretty much the only game I play. I bought that new SOCOM Confrontation for the PS3 and after playing it I realized just how good Gears really is!!!
What's great about it: Online Multiplayer, Co-Op
What's not so great: Glitchy especially online, Host advantage is waaay too strong online.

Honestly, it is a really good campaign and has AMAZING graphics .... but I wouldn't play the multiplayer unless you have alot of time to kill, the match finding system takes forever. I average about 3-5+ minutes to find each match.
What's great about it: Campaign, graphics
What's not so great: multiplayer matchfinder takes forever

I enjoyed Horde and the campaign very much but i felt that the multiplayer lacked some things. All the map packs released were pretty good because i could play Horde

Gears of war 2, This game is a must for massive collection. The campaign is challenging and somewhat intense. In short the higher the difficulty the more difficult. If you are playing with a Friend than it is a fun game depending on cooperative. The online multiplayer is fun but if players do not have a reliable than the fun is toned down when the massive amounts of lag come in. Horde with other players or with your friends can be fun too. overall the game its self is fun but can get a little tiring.
What's great about it: Campaign, Horde with Friends.

Man, I hate it when developers give in to the whining of all the people who suck at their game. I love Gears of War. I do. The setting, the graphics, the gore, the co-op, the innovation, it's great. I used to play the first one online all the time. I really enjoyed playing a smaller scale, more tactical online shooter with a good cover system and unique weapons. However it seems Epic gave in to all the people who hated their game because the second one feels broken. Forget the tight tactical gameplay. Online matches consist of laggy glitchy Call of Duty-like skirmishes where you spend half your time on the ground because everyone, and I mean everyone abuses the smoke grenades. It's ridiculous. In Gears 1 it took a lot of skill and a little luck to get kills. Gears 2 has taken the noob-friendly Call of Duty approach and made a chaotic, no skill needed killfest that just isn't any fun. I wanted to go back to the first one like most of the hardcore Gears fanbase has. Now, the campaign and co-op blew me away. Very well done. And horde is a blast to play with a few good friends. But Epic took my favorite online Xbox 360 game and ruined it. So I rate this game 3 stars.
What's great about it: Co-op, Campaign, Graphics, Horde.
What's not so great: Competitive Multiplayer, Smoke Grenades and glitchers(!!!).
