maybe next time
before I do this don't say to me TROLL or FANBOY crap like that I have a Xbox I have a ps3 I even have a wii. Now on to the review...
A gear of war 2 is an amazing game don't get me wrong. Thing is in most games you become attached to them in FF7 you became attached to cloud. Hell in halo you became attached to master chief. Thing is with this game you can't really attach to them. Marcus fenix proba... no DOES have an odd voice but that's not why you can't connect with him. He's just foul mouth and rugged and stuff like that IF YOU CONNECT TO HIM THATS YOU. I just couldn't. Gears doesn't have a great story and pretty bad lines. The voice acting is good but the things they say sounds right out of a d-grade movie. I don't want to hear people going it's got a GREAT STORY ITS THE NEXT CITIZEN CANE! No it isn't okay stop being fan boys and be reasonable. Games are well known for enemies and the things you must kill in GeOW2 are great. BUT games are also well known for their boss battles. MGS series has the oddest boss battle there's one you actually have to change the controller port to beat him like wtf. Anyway the ending boss battle left much to be desired. Now multiplayer. I haven't played competitive on GEARS 2 but i have on GEARS ONE i suggest it would be the same with some new features. I have played horde it was in my eyes amazing but constant glitches and the textures taking MINUTES to come in and constantly disconnecting. It was like heres an ice-cream but every time I disconnected it felt like they took it away. It just wrecked it when it disconnected.
Story: 7.5
