gears of war 2 review


While most people interested in gears 2 have probably already played it but for those who haven’t I would just say go and buy it. If you liked gears 1 you will love gears 2, it is basically more gears 1 which is not a bad thing considering the new things they have implemented.

The graphics in gears one were amazing for the time it came out, now the graphics have been turned up to 10 and the massive set pieces make you feel you are part of a larger battle all thanks to the newer unreal engine. Also there is a lot more variety for example you could be in a burning city and then cutting through a giant worms arteries.

The story continues on from the previous game and the locusts are back and sinking cities and it is your job with what is left of the cog army to go into the hollow and take them down, while also searching for Dom’s wife Maria which when ends in a heart breaking cut scene. All of the characters are back including some new one such as Tai and Dizzy.

A large part of gears 2 was the multiplayer which is much improved from gears one with new modes and more people to chainsaw, my personal favourite being horde which is amazing and has been used time and time again, it is basically zombie mode from cod 5 and black ops and anarchy mode from bulletstorm. Other modes include submission (originally call meat flag, banned by Microsoft!!) involves you finding and downing a stranded and to drag him back to your base while the other team does the same, the stranded can fight back while talking trash.

My final verdict for gears of war 2 is a 10/10 it is great and with gears 3 on the way I can’t wait for more chances to kill people in bloody ways.
