GoW 2 Refines the formula of its predecessor to make it even better
Gears of War 2 is improved in almost every way, the story is more present and the graphics had been tweaked also new side characters and weapons makes the gory battle even more fun.
The story follows up on the events of GEARS of WAR with Marcus Fenix and his squads mates (Alpha squad), the controls remain the same but what really makes this game shine is the variety of weapons and it's campaign mode which will never feel repetitive because although it's a third person shooter you'll drive lot's of vehicles,use plenty of turrets and hijack enemy vehicles to eliminate any chance of repetitiveness,and although a little on the easy side playing it on the Hardcore difficulty will make it more rewarding, there's a lot of unexpected events and plot twists but will never feel uninteresting, however the story is still weak and not very clear ,you'll ask you're self what are you doing many times in this game but it still keeps you interested enough.
The Multiplayer mode is even more fun than before, a new mode called Horde more is introduced and it's arguably the best mode in the game where you alongside four players will withstand 50 wave of the locust hordes which if played in a private friends party with a headset will make it a whole new experience, but the whole MP is very addictive and will really test you're skill.
The bottom line is that Gears of war 2 is an amazing game the gets everything from GoW and adds more blood action and weapons fun!!, but also improves the aspects the were weak before such as the story.
