Building on top of an already strong foundation.

User Rating: 9 | Gears of War 2 X360
Like the first game, Gears 2 is a really solid game. The big improvement on this round is the "Horde" game. It is 50 levels of wave after wave on ever increasingly bigger and faster Locusts. The addition of the Grinder gun and several other smaller weapons give you some additional variety. The graphics continue to stun and wow you. The variety of different settings is also a plus for this game.

The very few things that could use some improvement include the resetting in difficulty in the horde game where the enemies start off rather simple and get significantly harder as the level number progresses to and of the 8,9 or 0 of fthe next set. The only other issue is the lack of answers about who, what, where and when in terms of the story. The questions from the first game are not even answered.

Overall this is a must play for anyone who likes shooters. It is great to play with your friends and it supports up to 5 player co-op!
