Gears of war 2 is the long awaited sequel to the massive game which helped give the xbox 360 some valuable points in the console war. Years later the sequel does the same where everything has been improved
The story is very good by game standards as a professional writer has come on board just for its plot. It carries on from gears of war 1 but can be fully understood by an newbie as well. The gameplay has been polished in all areas and also features more enemies and variety than previous instalments
The graphics and sound are top notch with great score kicking in the minute you try and take on a massive enemy. The level design is varied and detailed and one can clearly see bit of wall and ceiling come off after a firefight leaving the steel railings
The single player has a good mix and never seems to dull and offers about 10-12 hours of play. The multiplayer is also a great package with various modes from capture the flag to new ideas like wingman and horde. Horde is a mode where upto 4 players must stick together and try and survive increasingly difficult waves of enemies which is new to the multiplayer world
This is a highly recommended game altough if you dont have it I would recoomend getting the GOTY edition which includes extra map and a deeted campaign chapter
