if you have played gears1 and are looking to move up to gears2 make shure to have a stress ball with you when you play online. the game has changed in many ways example gow1 while you are in the zoom mode with the sniper you would get shot and not move at all gow2 you you get shot it moves your cross hairs witch SUCKS. in gow1 the shotgun is amazing with alot of power and short range for a bigger blast in gow2 the shotgun has a longer range but is weak even with the active reload witch SUCKS. in gow1 the nades are frustrating in gow2 you can stick them on floors walls etc. witch SUCKS. in gow1 the chainsaw gun was powerful when you are being chased by a guy reving the chainsaw you could shoot him and it will delay him from killing you in gow2 when they are chasing you with the chainsaw reved up you shoot him and it doesn't stop the guy he KILLS YOU witch SUCKS. in gow1 when your running at a guy shooting at you with the chainsaw gun you get to him no problem and kill him with the shotgun in gow2 when you run at a guy shooting you with the chainsaw gun your guy is slowed down by the gun fire so he gets to kill you wiitch SUCKS. in gow1 the running is so much better easier in gow2 when you run you stick to almost every corner in the map witch SUCKS. SO DO NOT BUY THIS GAME RENT IT OR BORROW IT
What's great about it: horde and you can play bots
What's not so great: multiplayer shotgun sniper grenades running
