It still manages to be one of the best games out for any console. But its not as good as the first one.

User Rating: 9 | Gears of War 2 X360
The first Gears of war was somthing new. The graphics were amazing and its probably the reason so many people bought an xbox back in 2006. This new one is more of the same, the graphics are improved slightly, the campaign feels different and the multiplayer is awesome as well. But its still not as good as the first game, it technically is, but it takes more than slight improvements to make a sequel that destroys the first game.

Same goes for the new call of duty coming out. Games that just improve themselfs a bit every year still do well, but the best games always end up being the ones that stand out from the crowd of similar games. Personally i don't want another War-FPS game im pretty sure i have played them all already. Same goes for Gears 3, if they only change it slightly like they have done with this game, then i might consider not buying it.... Still this game is great, be it a copy or not its still more of the same awesome gory fun that the first one had... and its not worn itself out yet.
