Gears of War 2

Gears of War 2 is a game that excels the first and continues the story of Delta Squad, a four-man team comprised of soldiers with their own pasts and specializations in combat. I'd say its pretty good and a well-made sequel to the first Gears of War.

Solo Campaign - This takes you to the story of Gears of War 2, which is quite good, but, as usual, short. The thing is, usually games go by level, going from level, to level, to level. Games like Fallout 3 or Fable II are RPGs, which mean their story can last forever as long as you like playing with your character and keep roaming, getting money and jobs or whatever. The story is progressive and quite complex, but with the same feeling and concept every single firefight; enemy appears, you take cover, kill them, move on. The story is nice and you get to receive new experiences, but just plainly the same again and again. 8/10.

Co-op Campaign - A nice feature, this is exactly the same as Solo Campaign except you can now play with a sentient player as a teammate instead of a computer. The co-op features limit to only two players, though, due to the amount of time its just two characters in the mission. 7/10.

Matchmaking - Could've been better, with few game modes and a third-person cover system which doesn't really fit in with player vs. player styled combat. There's not much to say except that Matchmaking is much better, but still quite amateur. 6/10.

Horde - Gears of War 2's Unique Feature is fun and exiting, with waves of enemies pressing in onto you team. This is a fun team-orientated feature which beats most with its adrenaline-filled moments. 10/10.

A game for tactical gamers who can deal with massive levels of blood and gore. But there is a filter for that sort of mature stuff.

Total Mark: 8/10

This game is really brilliant, the main characters are back in an even bigger and far better storyline than the previous game. This in my own humble opinion is the best gears of war game with its really great storytelling, brilliant antagonists like skorge, the rift worm and more....they really gotta remake this game, they already remade the first one, why not this game.

Greetings from Lithuania.

I played "Gears of War 2" (2008) for the first time in 2022. So my experience with the game isn't fresh so to speak. But considering that this is not 14 years old game, and games unlike movies do age in my opinion, this was a fantastic game. I loved the shooting mechanics, story was solid, and i like characters in this one. Great settings, interesting level design and one hellova blockbuster shooter game. Excellent in my opinion!

Yes, this sequel to the 2006 game is explosive and very good, a bit better than the original game. The characters are back and just as wise cracking as ever and the story that unfolds is better than that of a lot of movies. The game play for the most part remains the same. You engage in a lot of fire fights where you duck and cover and shoot from the cover. A few differences in this one is that the chainsaw bayonet from the first game is used more here as I carved up a lot more enemies with it this time around. Another difference is the ability to use your downed enemies as shields. There are also more vehicles to use as you have your standard tank like vehicle and a couple of more unique ones. This game features a rather climatic ending too as well as a hint of a sequel in the future. The story has Marcus and Dom joined by some new characters and returning ones fighting the locust horde from beneath the earth once again. They have a plan to attack the locust and try to end the war with them once and for all. Along the way you have some humor as Carmine a new recruit to the Gears has some problems at first and one scene with the gang in the dark after a vehicle jump. At first I thought I did something wrong, but hearing them chat in the dark was rather funny. You also have a sad scene or two as well. So for one hell of an explosive game that is fun to play give Gears of War 2 a try. Though you really should play the first one so you know the whole story.
