Gears of War 2 is a fluid sequel to the original Gears of War game with it feeling just like a natural progression from the great original game. With similar controls which can be tricky to master straight away but once familiar with the controls the playability is excellent.
Personally I believe the storyline in this game is superior to that experienced in the original, due to the lack of somewhat boring back story seen in the original.
The selection of guns again is more varied in this game compared to the original with again achievements being unlocked with the more variety of weapons you use to kill the enemies. The enemies are also slightly more varied which again adds a new aspect to the game not seen in the original.
Overall this game is a perfect sequel to an already excellent original with improvement coming in all of the right places.
