Better than the first one and the first one was amazing! Perhaps the best improvement over its predecessor are the new game modes. sure you have your basic 'capture the flag' and 'submission' modes (aka "meat flag" from GOW1) but its the new modes that really captured my attention. 'assassination' is like team deathmatch but you can only respawn as long as the designated team leader is alive. kill the enemy leader, then the rest of his team and you win. 'wingman' is a 5 team 2 v 2 deathmatch style game. these game modes are great but the real fun begins when you play 'horde mode'. here you face wave after wave of ever increasingly difficult enemies. the great things about this game is that every map has its own characteristics that make change the tactics and strategies around and change the location where you decide to hold your stand against the enemy horde. you can play these game modes in a private party or in a public lobby. system links another 360 and play a private mode where you can even add AI bots on each team. The graphics seem to be a step up from the first one, the maps for multiplayer mode are outstanding and the campaign mode will keep your heart pounding. all these make GOW2 one of the best games yet released on the xbox 360 platform!
