Gears of War 2 — PRE-OWNED - Xbox 360

I personally own this game and its definetly the best game I own for the 360. The campaign way better and longer compared to Gears of War 1. The multiplayer is really good if you have a good connection, but sometimes people online have a tendensy to play like a total nube. lol. Yet I still enjoy this game and I would recomend it to people who like to kill enemies when they are down!! BUY THIS!!!

Over all great game. Great new modes like horde, wingman, king of the hill ect. great new addition of support weapons (mortar/mulcher). Ability to take meat shields is a plus. One major drawback would be the increase of players takeing advantge of game glitches (turning invisible/shield glitch) as well as game tampering (lag switching is a big one) and host advantage is still an issue.

Fun game and a must have for the Gears of War fan.

As far as campaign goes, Gears 2 is the best in the series. Very interesting boards like playing inside a giant worm. Graphics and audio are fantastic and the multiplayer is addictive.

As you may have already guessed, Gears of War 2 is an excellent Multiplayer game. But its not just the Multiplayer that sells this game out, also the capaign. With even more challenging objectives and missions, this game easily earns a 5 out of 5 for difficulty. The campaign still has co-op to help you get past those extra hard objectives. The multiplayer is even more exciting than GoW 1. There is now a party mode so you can play with your friends. Also, now there is a ranking system. There are also new game types such as Wingman, which is basically team doubles. The new guns and characters in this game are well thought out and very clever. With a variety of new maps you will never get bored with the multiplayer. Like any other game there are glitches. The glitches in Gears 2 are numerous but many people dont use them. The makers are starting to patch up some of the big ones. Not to get you discouraged in buying this game, like i said, barely anyone does any of the glitches. Overall Gears 2 is a game anyone should buy cause you will never get bored with it. Highly Recommended.

Yeah, Gears of War 2 is a fun game, but it has it short comings too. The two things that bothered me the most were movement and difficulty. Every once in a while, the movement will act screwy and get you killed. It can cause you to pop up when you don't want to or take cover on the wrong piece of terrain. Overall this problem is more annoying than anything else. The problem that really ticked me off was the inconsistent difficulty. When I first started I played through on the 2nd hardest setting (the hardest one available). For the most part, the game was a breeze. Despite being insanely easy, there were some parts that seemed impossible to get through and definitely didn’t fit in. After beating the game (most disappointing game boss ever), I decided to play through again on the newly unlocked hardest setting. The game went from being supper easy to supper hard. I'm all for a challenge (in fact that’s when I really enjoyed this game) but for a lot of gamers, the steep learning curve might be a bit much. The game can be played solo but you need a buddy for the game to truly shine. Without doing co-op the game jus isn’t as good, despite decent AI. Despite these flaws, the game is solid. The graphics are way above average and the music isn't bad either. The story is so-so, but starts out with an epic feel. I haven't really tried multiplayer that much but playing horde is a lot of fun, especially with some friends. Overall, Gears of War 2 is a game that should be played and easily has a spot in any gamer’s collection. Give it a try.

Gears of War 2 is one of those few games where the experience is worth the hype. This game does what every game sequal should do be greater then the first. The Graphics are fabulous. The visuals during key moments are spectacular but I will not give those away. You will have to see them for yourself. One of the coolest new visuals is when you are shooting your Lancer the tip of the gun will start to glow red from getting hot. The story is much improved from the first. You really get to understand the characters that you have grown to love. The war is so much larger in this game and you feel it. You are still with the same group of guys from the first. You seem to be the best squad out there. There are some great moments in the game that you will want to go back and play again. Multiplayer has seen the biggest improvement. In Gears 1 it seemed that multiplayer was an after thought but it was still one of the best multiplayer out there. In Gears 2 they have upgraded in every aspect. It is now much easier to get into games with your friends. There are more game types and new maps to play on. As a bonus when you buy the game there is a code for a free classic maps download that has some of the maps from the first game but with revamped graphics. These are maps like Mansion, Canals, and Gridlock to name a few. Some multiplayer types are Warzone (just like the first game with 5 vs 5 deathmatches), Submission (Meat flag or capture the flag with the flag being a person the computer playes that fights back), Wingman (2vs2vs2vs2vs2 mode where you battle it out for the most kills as a team) and Horde mode. Horde mode is the best multiplayer experience ever. You play with up to 5 player and you battle the Locust Horde in waves. The enemies get harder and harder as you go on. Every 10 waves the Horde gets stronger and has better weapons. I have gotten up to level 39 so far and it takes 3 boomshots to kill one guy. For weapons all of the ones from the first are back plus a new burst pistol, flame-thrower, mortar, and mini-gun. Gears 2 is a definate pickup for any Xbox 360 owner and shooter fan.

I loved the first Gears and knew Gears of War 2 was going to be great too. I got this game on the midnight release and it was the limited edition one too. The story is done very well and the gameplay never gets old. All of the executions are a blast to do too. Also, the weapons are all fun to use and the cover system is pefect. The graphics are amazing you will love this game in HD gurranted. Plus, horde mode with friends is fun everytime and makes the game so much better. Even the story playing it on co-op or by yourself is a great time. One issue I have is the matchmaking for online I just don't see a point in it. I liked the lobby system from the first game better. Its annoying because if I want to play one gametype I have to hope others vote for the same one, which most of the time doesnt happen. Also, same with the map its always the one I dont want. Where as in the first game they let you pick where you wanted to play and the gametype you wanted too. They are coming out with a title update next week that will add a cool ranking system and maps. Epic has supplied tons of maps and good amount of DLC since it came out, which makes me happy. Overall its an awesome game and even fighting the bots in multiplayer is fun so trust me buy it.
