Gears 2 is all that it is cracked up to be despite what some may say. The game, which handles exactly like the original is the same addictive experience we all had during the first game. With changes to a fewe of the weapons, some good, others terrible, the game evolves a bit, and with the more earthy, light settings it seems like a step in the right direction. Despite the glitches in the multi-player side, which are still present, they are not as common as they were in the first, which makes the online more enjoyable. The story, which is a little bit more emotional introduces a few new characters while deepening others, and the multi-player is the same as in the first game, with an additional player per team and a few new modes. The old modes remain the exact same, but are more interesting on the new maps as well as the Flashback remakes of the most popular maps from the original. All in all, Gears 2 is a must have for fans of the first game and is one of the best games of 2008.
