Amazing!
I think that this is one of the best games I've ever played. I thought that the story was great, although it did seem a little short, and the only con was that it takes too long waiting in the online lobby.

good game
gears of war 2 is one of the best games out there but the story line kind of dissapoints me.i would give it a 4.5 but there is no 4.5. also one ofthe characters (im not going to say who) just dies not very far into the campaign with almost no explanation. also Dom is a little girl i expected better than that

Dom is an annoying little girl
A very good game with hands down the best graphics I have ever seen. Storyline is pretty lame but is countered by the visual wow factors throughout the game. They could of done without Dom being such a pansy little girl, got really annoying after awhile. Multiplayer is really fun with the added weapons and game types.
Overall a pretty solid game, I would give it 4.5 stars if I could because I don't think it quite reached 5 star status

One of the best.
This game is probobly one of the best killer apps or its time. Don't get me wrong MGS4, Halo3, and Mario fans, But this game's amazing control scheme, graphics, and audio make this my personal favorite. The stoy isn't all that great, but don't let that distract you from this truely amazing shooter.

A whole lot of the same.
Its nothing more than the first title with a few new weapons. The AI is a little better than the first, but most everything else is the same. If its not broke don't fix it? Well, I don't think that the original Gears of War needed fixing, but definitely some tuning. However, the second installment is, in my humble opinion, Gears of War 1.5. Nothing changed enough to truly call it a good sequel. If your a fan, shell out your cash to support your game. Otherwise, its a good renter.
