Description

Gears of War 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the 5 million-selling blockbuster action game and one of the most popular Xbox 360 games in history.

Players continue as Marcus Fenix, a reluctant war hero and leader of Delta Squad, six months after the events of "Gears of War." The last cities on Sera are sinking, swallowed by a new Locust threat from below. A massive counterattack is humanity's last hope for survival. Gears of War 2 blends a best-in-class third-person shooter with unsurpassed high-definition visuals, all layered on top of an engaging story of survival, loss and retribution. Gears of War 2 is developed by Epic Games exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.

Includes Gears Of War 2 and the 'All Fronts Collection' expansion pack (previously available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace
Unparalleled gameplay. Gears of War 2 takes the award-winning gameplay of the original and improves upon it in every way. The genre-defining cover system is further refined, making the "stop and pop" gameplay more intuitive. Dynamic cover is given new meaning as downed opponents can be picked up and used as shields. The intimate violence of the battlefield is heightened when combatants engage in chainsaw duels. Destructible environments and vicious new finishing moves add to the over-the-top experience.
Jaw-dropping visuals. Gears of War 2 continues to raise the graphics bar through its breathtaking visual effects, made possible through advances in Unreal Engine 3.
Engaging experience that pulls you in and won't let go. Gears of War 2 takes deep and immersive storytelling in videogames to greater heights. Players connect with humanity's battle for survival on a personal level as they move through a story that introduces new characters and sheds light on the histories of familiar ones.
Expanded cooperative play. Team up with a friend to fight through the harrowing story of Delta Squad in the enhanced campaign mode, now featuring drop-in/drop-out gameplay, as well as individual player difficulty options. Or recruit four friends to battle in the new game mode "Horde," where you'll fight together to fend off a seemingly endless onslaught of Locust forces to attain the highest score.
Fierce and varied competitive multiplayer action. Gears of War 2 features eight distinct multiplayer modes, including the new Wingman, Guardian and Submission modes, where up to 10 players choose a side and pit their courage and battlefield mettle directly against others. In addition, multiplayer bots are available to sharpen your skills offline or to fill out your online private matches on Xbox LIVE

Gears of war has excellent graphics that deliver a outstanding level of game play and crisp sense in game play allowing for a more exciting form of game play. The multiplayer has greatly improved providing people with an easier smoother connection and simple menu and flawless ability to communicate to various people around the world. Not only has the general look of the game improved a whole new range of weapons and grenades have been introduced that adds diversity to the game . Making it cleary a step up from its predecessor.

Horde the Horde

Unbelievable I loved the first Gears of War and I was sceptic about this one But have no fear, this delivers in ways I've only ever seen presented in a golden loincloth with grapes Better co-op, bigger badder guns, much more epic campaign and an improved multiplayer make this game stand out from the crowd of mega titles released recently I have no problem at all recommending this game to everyone

Intense action game

Gears Of War 2 is an intense action experience. It is set sometime in the future in the middle of a war against an alien race called the Locust. This game features a "Kill Switch" type cover system as well as brilliant shooting mechanics. The graphics look amazing and it features very strong production values and action sequences. Shooting is fun and every kill is satisfying, especially the head shots. Another fun way to kill is with the melee attack. This comes into light especially with the chainsaw bayonet where you can see some pretty graphical deaths. Multiplayer is one of the best on Xbox Live, so there is never a shortage in players and the action is always top notch. Another great thing is the co-op campaign played either locally or on Xbox Live. This edition is especially good because it features all downloadable multiplayer maps as well as a deleted scene from the campaign. Fans of action games will enjoy this a lot and for a long time. I highly recommend it.

*** Excellent Game! ***

This is by far the best game that you can get for your xbox 360, it uses the xbox 360 to it's full potential graphics-wise and makes for excellent gameplay. The online mode tends to be close combat 80% of the time and a lot of people are unhappy about the reliability on a great connection the game has, but that just makes the game that bit better as there isn't much laggy people playing this game.
