Marcus Fenix and the rest of the gears are back to kick some Locust ass and finish the war once and for all in Gears of War 2. The story continues where the first left off. Except this time Marcus along with Dom, Cole, and a few others must take down th locust queen and the last of the horde. During the campain you'll face off against some pretty awesome monsters such as Brumacks, Reavers and more. The multiplayer is pretty fun and can get addicting, playing against people from around the world.

The weapons featured in Gears 2 are some of the best, such as classics like the Lancer to the Locust Shotgun. Some new weapons have also been added this year, such as a flamethrower and mortars.Also some new features or abilities have been added, such as now bieng able to stick grenades to walls or corners to set up traps. And also my favorite new feature is chainsaw battles, when a battle happens both you and your opponents chainsaws wil collide, in order to win the battle you need to press B rapidly.

Now on to the graphics, the graphics look awesome they look like true HD. You can see every detail from the saw blade on the Lancer, to the wrinkles on Marcuse's face. As for the control layout, the controls are the same as the first game. They work well with the Xbox360 controller and are easy to learn and to remember.

OVERALL 10/10: GOW 2 is as I said one of the best and most anticipated shooting games of the year. The story makes it a great game alone, it's filled with plenty of teeth grinding action and drama and plenty of awesome boss battles. The graphics are great looking and make it feel like your really in the war. Gears of War 2 is a fantastic game for the 360 and for all fans of the first game, and even new fans alike.
