Well, not Gears of War 2, thats for sure. I know the heading is somewhat corny...but it seemed better than 'hey, i got Gears 2'. Well, where to begin? Well as we all know, its the sequel to Gears of War, set 6 months after the ending of the first, and seems like Marcus and Dom are off to stop the locust once and for all!! [GASP], but I'm telling you what happens...thats just bad.

Gears 2 is pretty much the same as the first...but better in everything: graphics, gameplay, multiplayer!!!!, and new modes online. Horde is where you and four of your friends [total of 5] can team up to take on wave after wave of Locust with increasing difficulty, it seems stupid by yourself but get 2 or 3 friends and you'll have a blast. If you don't believe me, just look at this picture from earlier today...in Horde.

New enemies appear, AND THEY GOT RID OF THE EXPLODING WRETCHES!! even though they made something a lot worse than those....tickers....

The story is pretty easy...solid 10 hours it took to beat it on Hardcore, but Hardcore was like Casual on the first...disappointing..but Insane..well it speaks for itself. three rounds from a Lancer into your foot kills you...headshot kills you, beatdown kills you, if you aren't in cover[and sometimes IN cover], you WILL die...if you beat it on Insane...well...help me out with it...I want to be a Suicide Missionary. The levels they ship with the game are pretty good, although some lack interest and excitement into the gameplay, also if you pre-order you received a "Thanks for being a fan" gift and receive 5 old maps, but renewed, which includes Canals and Gridlock.

Um, as for progression, I beat it on Hardcore, half with a friend, quarter by myself, then that quarter with my friend again, then the other quarter with another friend, yeah that seems confusing.

I have 34/50 acheivements, with a total of 560.
