 GOW 2......awesome June 30, 2008
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I've played this game for a few hours now (.....in my mind) and i've gotta say it really is awesome (.....in my mind). Not only can you play as locust as well as marcus, you can play as rambo, captain america, iron man....you can even play as abe lincoln (.....in my mind).
The only downfall to this game is the fact that cos it's not out yet, i can only play this game....in my mind.
 Gears of War 3 is what we should be reviewing! June 24, 2008

I cant believe people are reviewing this game. Gears of War 2 is so last week. Those of us keeping an eye on new releases will know Gears of War 3 will be out soon.
So i propose we all stop talking about GoW2 and start a new debate about what we want and don't want in GoW3.
Two quick things id like to say about GoW2 before moving on are, does anybody else agree that the penultimate chapter of act 2 is one of the most gripping bits of story telling in gaming history. Also, I love the new DLC. This has finally got me back on the 360 - I have been absolutely hooked on the new Nintendo Puu (Sony and Microsoft take note this is how next-gen gaming should be and the PS4 and 720 will have to go a long way to beat it for originality). Especially Puu Fit that game is genius and in the 3 weeks ive been playing it have grown two inches and gained 20-20 vision. Anyways back to the DLC I love all five new maps, with my faves being tunnels and the awesome locust abattoir those environmental kills you can do are gruesome, even if the idea was ripped off the disturbing but nonetheless brilliant Condemned 4.
Back to GoW 3, the things I want to see are even more locusts on screen at once, other characters to play as in the single player - besides Marcus and Dom's wife and a fourth difficulty level as I found insane a lot easier on GoW 2 than the original. My uncle did hear from his milkman that there will be six acts instead of the usual five adding length to the story, obviously this would be great.
Im off to the cinema now, to see Spiderman 4.
Gears of WOW 2 June 8, 2008

Gears of War was only a stepping stone to a game that is going to revolutionize the 360. Meat shields, powerful pistols, 2x better graphics mixed with a longer campaign and funnier characters (like dizzy) makes the whole GOW experience more enjoyable. The online isnt rushed unlike the original with better features so hidding is a lot easier.
Looks astounding June 4, 2008

With more enemies to fight and enhanced combat tactics gow2 looks like a great improvement to an already brilliant game

Yeah well Doc Brown just picked me up in the Dolrean and we went and played GOW 2. Well what can I say. I think Epic's decision have Marcus complete all the missions, apart from the first, wearing a wolf shirt (with born to roam written on the sleeves) was inspired. It made him even more aggressive and dare I say it more ............ attractive. God bless you wolf shirt!
Anyway the game would have got 5 stars if Doc Brown hadn't went back to '72 and nearly messed up my conception. So 4 stars off for that one.
P.S. I really hope Epic release a Gears wolf shirt.
