A great game to follow GOW, but somehow it feels not quite complete
User Rating: 8.5 | Gears of War 2 X360
Gears of War 2 is a great follow up to gears 1. There's no doubt the all the elements of the first game that make it so enjoyable is back. Fast pace gun play, cover system, rail-shooting segments and an upgraded story makes it a game to remember. Nevertheless, it appears the general consensus is that the cover system is improved; I must disagree. Often I am stuck and the game fail to recognize what is it that I aim for, which makes it all the more frustrating because the game IS about the cover. On my second play-through, there are just too many graphic glitches and problem with event-trigger to make me wonder what is it that makes the game feels incomplete. Having said all that, the game is still a thrill, many instances you feel like you are part of something epic and tide-changing events. Multi-player is great but then again, I just wish it's single player game is stronger. Good game, improved? Not so sure
