Gears Of War 2
Gears of Wars 2 is very much like the first game but is bigger and better. The weapons have improved, it's more violent and louder much better in every respect. The multi player game is great especially in the Horde mode,it's great for making friends and players that are on the same wave length. If you own an Xbox 360, you absolutely must have this game

Go on you Gears
All-new, great-looking environments New weapons, grenades, and melee attacks Excellent new multiplayer modes, especially Horde Drop-in co-op support with independent difficulty Same exciting Gears action you know and love.The original Gears of War became an action genre classic thanks to its incredible graphics, cinematic presentation, and solid cover system. The sequel repeats this formula, and though it introduces new weapons, enemies, and environments, it remains an incredible yet familiar experience. The 10-hour campaign is rambunctiously entertaining, with clever set pieces and epic confrontations that punctuate the exhilarating stop-and-pop gunplay. The multiplayer offers more significant upgrades, with four new modes, 10 new maps, and support for up to 10 players instead of eight. These things make for a package with significant longevity, and though Gears of War 2 ultimately refines more than it innovates, it still deserves a place in any action fan's collection. Gears of War 2 picks up the story six months after the end of the first game. The Locust are so powerful that they can sink entire cities from below, whereas the humans are becoming even more desperate thanks to the spread of a disease called rust lung. With fears that the last city of Jacinto might fall, it's down to Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago to take the fight to the Locust in a desperate last stand against their alien foes. Survival is at the centre of Gears 2, but there's also personal drama, with themes such as family, death, and even love interwoven into the grand plot. This sheds some light on the characters and the universe, and though it ultimately uncovers more questions than it answers, the game has a much grander premise than its predecessor.Gears of War 2 has a considerably different look from its predecessor. Whereas the first game was characterised by derelict cities and crumbling monuments, a good portion of the sequel takes place in huge outdoor spaces and underground caverns. You'll see fluorescent lights, snow-capped mountains, and enemies so big you'll actually need to get inside them to destroy them. There are also more vehicle sections, and though they can be a bit fiddly to use, these segments are thankfully short and infrequent. The traditional stop-and-pop gunplay still makes up the majority of the campaign, and it's a raucously enjoyable ride that you'll want to play again and again. Gears of War 2 has a lot in common with its predecessor, but the new environments, darker storyline, and epic scale certainly have a lot to offer fans. The new weapons, melee attacks, and co-op options make for a campaign that you'll want to complete a number of times, and the new multiplayer modes give the game variety and longevity. Simply put, Gears of War 2 is a superior shooter that no action fan will want to miss out on.

One of the best games
The second in the Gears saga is one of the best games the 360 has to offer.The campaign in Gears 2 tells the tell of the desperate struggle of the remainig human citys against the locust horde.The campain follows the main character Marcus Fenix and the rest of his squad.But this isnt all Gears offers, also a deep multiplayer with great multiplayer maps and game modes.And finally a new mode horde pitting you and four friends against an onslaught of the locust horde. Overall this game is a game every 360 owner should have
