If you didnt like GOW1 you wont like the 2nd...

A Customer from Ulverston, 12th November, 2008

Didnt get into the story, just like GOW1... I really should stop renting 3rd Person Shooters from Blockbusters.... Another waste of money... Sorry guys. I know theres alot of GOW fans out there. Good for you. Dont judge me on my opinion. Average multiplayer.

Gears 2 is BRILLIANT

A Customer from Telford, 8th November, 2008

Woah What can I say about this game? It is THE best game released for the XBOX 360 ever. Period. The graphics are so realistic, the voice acting really makes it feel like you are there, and the brand new enemies make you think how to defeat them. I was let down by the ending though, It was ALOT easier to kill RAAM (in Gears 1) But anyway 5 stars

Good but not great

Hanzo from , 20th February, 2010

Gears of war 2 is a great game however the numerous glitches make it ocassionaly a bore to play. After revisiting the game recently i had noticed that a few glitches are still present in the game since its release in 2008. Host advantage still remains as an unfair dis-advantage but the main problem is the reset glitch where you stats for kills, rank and unlockable charecters are reset meaning you have to start all over again. However it is a good game to play especially if you have a buddy to go through co-op with.

GOW 2

A Customer from Manchester, Uk, 7th February, 2010

For some reason i think the sequel looks worse than the original, theirs no advances in game play, hardly any new weapons and enemies, same looking locations just a rip off if you ask me thank god i didnt buy it!
