im not into play on-line so much i'll do it but it's just like i'd get pwned alot! but the thing im worryed about is another short storyline i love gears of war but i hope it has a longer storyline and i didn't really like the health thing in #1 you should have a health bar on the screen. but overall i'd saw it's the SECOND best shooting game for the three sixty. FYI time shift is the best shooting game and overall best game for the three sixty!
What's great about it: graphics and overall awsomeness

i saw the mods on the unreal tournament3 and to be honest i bought that game just for that. its like 15 minutes of every new thing they have made ,added or just improved on. new kills like the torque bow decapitqation and the sniper sledge hammer, my personal fave is the full mount and smash where you climb on top of a downed enemy and bash their face in bare handed.....its rad. gears of war 2 is in a whole different calss.......halo who? ha ha ha
What's great about it: new weapons, human sheild, all new executions

Alright well, Konichi, first of all you just said XBox 360" was the worst video game ever.
Go away, you have absolutly NO idea what you're talking about. XBox 360 is the f****** system, not a game.
I am so pumped for this game, and I don't want to wait until November. I need it now. I've been playing CoD4 for about a year now, and now I'm so bored of it. I am waiting for Gears 2, and haven't touched my 360 in a while.

I know this review in before the game comes out but i can Guarantee this will be one of the greatest games out there. Gears of War 1 was a great hit. Even beating Halo 3 and Halo 3 was a great hit as well but lacked alot of graphics. This just from all the trailers and game plays show that this game is going to be great. No not great exciting. Ive been waiting since June 08 for this game to come out. I believe this game will be the greatest game to come out compared to halo trilogy. You can go by ur opinion but i think this game is gonna be exciting and gonna enjoy playing it

I just got this game today from Bestbuy, the launch day. I am playing the game right now and excited for the contests going on during the launch weekend. The graphics are amazing and the controls are easy. The horde are somewhat hard to play against, being this is my first Gears of Wars game. I should have bought the first one... :( But, I am glad I have this game. It rocks! I would recommend Gears of War 2 to any of my friends, and for that matter anyone!
What's great about it: Amazing game, gameplay, graphics, total fun!

Lets start off with the good: The Campaign is very, very good, with a few acceptions where you can glitch into an invisible wall and can't get out. The graphics are amazing and who doesn't have fun holding off swarms of the Horde for 5 minutes while Baird tries to repair your tank?
Now the negatives: The setup for multiplayer is HORRIBLE. You can wait anywhere from 1 minute to 20 minutes trying to find teammates and THEN you can wait another minute to 10 minutes finding a team to play against. So if you are willing to wait an average of, I would say, 15 minutes to actually GET INTO a game... Multiplayer itself is fun, but there are soooooooooooooooooooo many glitches in the game it can be very very frustrating. I would say after about 2 consecutive multiplayer games you will be ready to throw your controller through the TV. But nevertheless, buy this game, and just play the campaign and Halo 3 until they come out with some patches for Gears.
What's great about it: Campaign, graphics, more sweet weapons
What's not so great: Multiplayer, Multiplayer, and o ya, multiplayer

I bought this game the day it came out and started playing it immediately. Epic Games has created another masterpiece and totally did not dissapoint one bit. Revamped with new weapons and enemies, the game is a thrill-packed ride the whole time. I loved the first Gears of War and I love Gears of War 2 even more. The story is well-paced and actually throws you a few emotion-evoking curveballs that I thought were going to ruin the games plot, but they fit in perfectly. From Dom's rollercoaster ride of emotion tyring to find his wife to Marcus' stiff defending of his father, you can't help but feel a little tug in your heart. The AI are way better than the first game i.e. they actually come to help you when you're down and even manage to kill a few enemies every now and then. The campaign co-op is essentially the same. Horde is absolutely amazing. There is nothing more challenging or fun then trying to fight through 50 waves of increasingly difficult enemies with four friends on Insane Difficulty. I'm still upset about it not being named game of the year. Can't wait for Gears of War 3. Go buy it right now!
What's great about it: New weapons, progressive story, way better AI support, and of course, Horde.
What's not so great: Except for some tiny glitches, absolutely nothing.
