Gears of war 2 is a heart pounding, adreneline packed game that improve's on the last game without being alien.
Yes... thats pretty much all you can say about the gameplay in gears 2. With all the sniper headshots, chainsaw duels and pure shotgun power gears 2 is even more powerful then the first, Gears 2 also improves things like the sprint now it's easy to get around while sprinting and the cover system has been tweaked as well to give you optimal combat performance. Also the local multiplayer is way better then before since you can now have bots( no more player hunts in big levels) and the horde mode is great as well.
Graphics 10/10
Even 2 years later epic still manages to pull off a technical feet and gears 2 is proof of that. Levels are much larger and more vibrant, giving everything in the world of sera a grand look.There is also more variety in the envirements in the first gears it was all pretty dark and grim, but in gears two it's large,breath taking and grim.
Sound 9/10
The voice cast is really great once again and sound effects are pusle pounding and in you face but theres just once tiny thing about the sound in gears 2 and that is the fact that you can't ever really hear the fantastic soundtrack.
Value 9/10
With horde and local multiplayer bots the valu is much greater for those out there that haven't invested in a gold membership. for those who have the online offers a lot of great bloddy times. The single player has an average length at about 12 hours but the story here is far greater then the first and while it doesn't exactly answer that many questions it does give you a much deeper look into delta sqaud and also gives you a grim look into sera's future.
The good
Gears of war is back and better then ever.another technical masterpeice,a much deeper story then before, fantastic soundtrack, hored mode and bots for local multiplayer,tweaks all the right things.
The bad
Waiting for gears 3 is gonna be tough.
