Advantages: Everything Disadvantages: Third Person
...Gears Of War 2 is the second game from epic in the Gears series, In this new gears of war game there is a lot of new features, some of my favorite new things about the game; my favorite is the amazing story, the second is the 50 level horde mode, another is some of the new updated weapons, minigun, mortar, flamethrower, shield and many more, there is a new online matchmaking setup, problems at first but has been fixed, they have included a new ranking system and new game modes, on the online maps you have new special features on them like monsters, avalanches, hail. Overall this game is a must have and i would reconmend for anyone who likes shooters. I would also reconmend getting the first gears to unlock the extra characters from the first game....

...Campaign
I really enoyed the first campagin but as money reviewers stated it was quite short and the ending did annoy some. Thankfully the story is much better off this time round. The story follows macrus and dom on an emotional story to finish off the locust and find doms wife maria.
Presentation
As gears of war 1 looked so incredible many different reviewers questioned if gears of war 2 could look any better than the first. But since epics showing of the newly updated unreal engine peoples minds started to beleive and gladly they did. The graphics are incredible, bascially mindblowing. They have improved alot than the first gears of war, with added extras like new water effects you cant go wrong.
Multiplayer
The multiplayer is pretty much the same as the first but with some tweaks. Firstly the shotguns damgaed has been...
