A lack in story line and bad matchmaking make this an "Almost....But not quite"

User Rating: 8.5 | Gears of War 2 X360

You spend the $70, you open the case, you put the game in your heart is racing....And then...................You play....

Five minutes into the first level you feel nothing new except for the graphics and you say to your self "Been here, done this" Gears of War one was it's brilliant graphics it's new cover system and it's run and shoot gameplay. This game just recycled that and put a new sticker on an old apple. The ten hour campaign is fun while it lasts, no theres no four player campaign mode. It picks up where gears one left off with Dom still looking for his wife and having no luck, and with Marcus still being a straight up bad ass.

The multiplayer is shocking....The matchmaking takes almost 10 minutes to find one match, and then people will leave the match for no reason. Epic games have added in a new game type named "Hoard" in which you basically you alone or four friends battle against wave after wave of locust hordes.

Basically GOW 2 is just polished up a bit and giving some new guns

THE GOOD
- New guns - New Campaign - Hoard Mode - Better graphics -

THE BAD
- Recycled - Horrible matchmaking -
