Editorial Review:Amazon.co.uk:The Locust Horde is back and only you and your squad of elite soldiers stand between them and the death of every human being on the planet Sera. In
Gears of War 2, entire cities are being destroyed in single attacks, and you must take the fight to the Locusts by battling them in their own underground lairs.
 You can play the whole of story mode with a friend |
 The Boomer enemies are back in many different varieties |
| The game’s ethos of “destroyed beauty” is still in full effect |
 Shoot the Ticker enemies before they explode in your face |
The bestselling third-person shooter is back: bigger, better, and gorier than ever before. But you can't just blast your way through it--this game requires far more tactics and cunning than your usual mindless shooter. A refined cover system means you can use the enemy as “meat shields” as well as hide behind the fully destructible scenery.
The graphics are looking better than ever, and the game is purposefully more bloody and violent than before. The story and characterisation has also been improved, making this an action game sequel with brains as well as brawn.
Key Features - Brothers in arms: Have a friend join or leave your single player game whenever you want, and even battle together on different difficultly levels.
- Evolving enemies: You finally get a chance to take down the giant Brumak enemies, as well as even larger monsters and new creatures, such as the explosive Ticker.
- Practise makes perfect: Practice the multiplayer mode on your own with computer controlled “bots”--then use the new matchmaking system to find a real opponent of the same skill level.
- Chainsaw massacre: If you loved the chainsaw bayonet in the original game, you now can duel computer or human opponents with gaming’s messiest weapon attachment.
- Hordes of options: Try the new five-player Horde mode, where you all face off against an unending wave of enemies, or any of the seven other multiplayer modes.

I expected to be amazed, to be wowed, to be dazzled.
But the campaign seemed tepid. The immediacy and intimacy of the first game was gone. And there was this infernal yapping. So much... story.
The goofball designers made a poor judgment in thinking that ANY SINGLE ONE OF US buys this game because we care about the story.
I, along with millions of others, bought this game so that I can slaughter monsters with a chainsaw and use satellites to rain thermonuclear ...

Campaign on this is great, just like the first gears, but what has happened to multiplayer? What a mess, you just cannot connect to matches. It was patched today and still its the same old story. In the words of a GOW veteran "I am disgusted"

Let's face it, the big appeal of the original Gears was the massive multiplayer carnage. Irrespective of the notable 'host advantage', I think it was (and remains) a success.
After nailing the new campaign on the 'normal' level within 8 to 10 hours (it was too easy - and that's coming from someone who is rubbish at shooter games) I was looking forward to some new arenas and new features in the Gears 2 multiplayer environment.
Whatever the thinking was behind the new party format, ...

I was disappointed by this game. I'm normally a fan of action games but found this one to be quite boring and repetitive.
