This game was epic! Worth every cent!

User Rating: 9.5 | Gears of War 2 X360
This game is amazing. Even though my Xbox 360 had to be sent to get repaired the day I got it, I still managed to beat it the day I went to my friends house. The first thing I'll talk about is the story. No, I won't give spoilers, but I have to say, it was fun. It is more engaging. Especially when you play on co-op. Overall, the weapons are balanced,AI is awesome, and gameplay is smooth. The story is much more engaging and has a more epic/gloomy feel to it, as it should be. It does take many elements from other games, but that should not let it bring down your thoughts on it.

The multiplayer is good, but the one that stands out the most of Horde mode. It really tests your teamwork capabilities. It puts you through waves of 50 Locusts Hordes, each one vastly increases in difficulty. I have to say, Wave 7 started getting tough as it is. Then again, I was only playing with two people.
It is hard to find games though, and lags quite a bit.

All in all, Gears of War 2 is a very great game. It has good replay value, mainly for it's multiplayer, and has a very engaging storyline that will want to keep you playing until you beat it. Although it does have it's flaws, like imperfect matchmaking, or similar single player settings, it is worth a buy.
