I bought the Limited Edition version of the game the same day it was released and I definitely recommend buying this version than the standard version. You get extra maps, a 48 hour gold membership trial if you don't already have it, and a gold lancer that makes chainsawing your opponents online with style!! The storyline is great, and their are newer and much tougher enemies now. There are new weapons in the game, but nothing still compares to taking out a grub with a headshot from the sniper rifle, or cutting them down with the chainsaw!!! Although COD: World at War will be coming out soon, it will be tough to outdo GOW2!! GOW2 could most likely win another Game of the Year award!! Buy the game, and good hunting!!!!
What's great about it: EVERYTHING!!!
What's not so great: NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY TO KEEP PLAYING IT!!!!!
