Gears Of War 2 Players Review- by Stuart Peck


















I have been waiting with bated breath for over 12 months for this game, and its been worth the wait.........




If you have not played Gears of War then I suggest you buy it now!! Gears of War 2 follow on from the story of the first but 6 months later, with the Locust Horde more aggressive and invasive than ever. You play as Marcus Fenix head of Delta Squad, and join the action right away. The main features from the first game have been improved, you now hug cover in a more realistic way. Melee combat has been improved as you now have 4 way to finish a downed enemy with the most satisfying being the chainsaw bayonet!!!

The graphics are simply some of the best I have seen on any console and once again set the standard for HD gaming. The environments seem more impressive and its easy to get completely immersed in these highly this highly detailed world.

The storyline is impressive- however I felt personally something was missing- that made the first story mode so engrossing, but that small detail aside GOW 2 is still one of the few games I have played that you can compare to a Hollywood blockbuster.

I highly recommend this game for the mulitplayer, single player and many other features I don;t want to spoil- the first game is better in terms of story but the second game improves every other aspect.

5/5

I recently played GoW and I have to say it was addictive as hell. I can only imagine what the second installation is like. If I ever get a hold of a 360, my list of desired games is getting pretty long!

Great review!
