The Locust Horde is back and only you and your squad of elite soldiers stand between them and the death of every human being on the planet Sera. In iGears of War 2/i, entire cities are being destroyed in single attacks, and you must take the fight to the Locusts by battling them in their own underground lairs.br !--IMAGES MUST BE 200 PIXELS WIDE-- table align=left cellpadding=10 width=200 style=margin:10px tr td img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-videogames/detailpage/gow2/ReaverAttack.jpg" width=200 height="110" smallibYou can play the whole of story mode with a friend/b/i/small /td /tr tr td img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-videogames/detailpage/gow2/FlameBoomer.jpg" width=200 height="110" smallibThe Boomer enemies are back in many different varieties/b/i/small /td /tr /table table align=right cellpadding=10 width=200 style=margin:10px tr td img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-videogames/detailpage/gow2/FlameBoomer.jpg" width=200 height="110" smallibThe gamersquo;s ethos of ldquo;destroyed beautyrdquo; is still in full effect/b/i/small /td /tr tr td img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-videogames/detailpage/gow2/Tickers.jpg" width=200 height="110" smallibShoot the Ticker enemies before they explode in your face/b/i/small /td /tr /table pThe bestselling third-person shooter is back: bigger, better, and gorier than ever before.

 What a disaster January 6, 2009

Campaign is the best single player experience ever. br / br /Multiplayer online is the worst experience ever. br / br /Its that simple. Epic, you should be very disappointed with this effort, whoever designed the online section needs to be taken out into the snow and beaten with large club. br / br /Gears has an army of followers and they have been let down totally.
GEARS OF WAR BABY! January 6, 2009
GAMER 4 LIFE!
If you own a 360, you know about gears of war! Its easily the best game on the console and this sequel will not disapoint! br / br /Graphics are superb with only a few glitches and the gameplay is as solid as ever! br / br /The only reason it doesnt get the full 5 star is because of the lentgh of time it can take to find an online game and actually start playing with others over XBL! br / br /Still a great game that you have to be crazy not to pick up!
 Its so good i couldn't quite believe it January 5, 2009

Now i wasn't a lover of Gears 1, i found the single player too dark for my liking, same with mulitplayer. br / br /Gears 2 i was honestly shocked, i didn't buy it at launch because of my feelings on Gears 1. The best part of this game is the story, not for years has a video game created so many twists and turns and left absolutely engaged in the story, it was so good i was checking for the Locust when i left my house! br / br /Seriously, the story is something else, so is the length of the single player. I remember telling my girlfriend, I'm on the last act about 6 hours in! No way, i was only at the start of Act 3! (much to her annoyance) I had another 6 hours left, its easily the best single player campaign of the year, its better than COD 5 which i found short even on Veteran. br / br /Online has been tweaked since launch i hear and its ok now, not the best fan of it but there are different options from the first one so i might start playing it hard soon. br / br /Is it for you? If you want a single player game that requires a tactical mind ( you can not just run and shoot) you will love it. If you want something with a good variety of weapons you will love it. If you want to be immersed into story driven combat you will love it. If you want something opened world you won't. br / br /Overall, for an adventure shooter its the best I've played since Halo 2! br / br /Enjoy!

what can i say, single player is so addictice u won't get your rear end out of ya chair for a good few hours, the graphics are excellent, the story line is excellent, when i boght this game i was abit bothered about spending 35 on it because i knew it wouldnt last long so i thought whats the point, oh well this didnt put me off as much to buying it, i bought it last week played it about 2 - 3 hours a day and im not even half way through it the single player is a BIG game, suprisingly i thought it would of been short, look at cod 4 that was one brilliant game but the length of single player was a huge let down. br / br /also u still have the same characters as gears of war 1 :) br / br /if you are an owner of gears of war 1 then gears of war 2 is a must. br / br /ENJOY br /
