User Rating: 9 | Gears of War 2 X360
Gears of War 2 is an excellent game with virtually no games that can compare to it. The graphics are better than the original the shooting is more forgiving and everything feels much more personal in this one. There is more drama in this one. There is also a lot more "vehicle" riding involved in this one. I honestly couldn't pass the first level on the first one, then I went through this one and had very few problems with the first. This sequel really is very worth while but at the same time it is not as intense as the original. This is a game formula that is so good that I think if they kept everything the same as the original they could have me hooked every time. The original had berserkers, seeders taken out by the hammer of dawn, that was not exactly the main part of the game and was omitted in the second, that was good. In the first you have to avoid darkness in the 2nd act where as there is an act with killer rain in the 2nd. There is a lot the same but almost everything has a twist on it.
