    I cant say much other than for online. Online is great but some people are either a cheating and hacking their rank or have bad hosting issues. Best graphics ever. Well maybe not but they are good :)

    Gears 2 is fun, OK campaign, And new weapons and maps. The thing is this is nothing compared to gears 1. I would rather buy Gears 1 I f you don't have already. Gears 1 - 21/5 Gears 2 - 4/5

    This game has a kick butt campaign, that being said the multiplayer online is significantly lacking. Multiplayer is a mess with tons of lag and long loading times. Overall one of my favorite games for the 360, don't know if I would want to pay $60 though.

    This game easily tops GOW with its new features and abilities. I have one thing to say HORDE IS THE GREATEST THING EVER. other than that insane is literally insane and some of the achievements are greatly over exaggerated but otherwise great game.

    Actually bought Gears 2 so i am telling a honest review, great game overall long and challenging storyline many playlists to chose form for multiplayer co-op campaign but matchmaking is slow compared to games like halo3 and cod4. Still great fun!

    Simply enough Gears 2 is gonna blow Gears 1 out of the water. Everything about Gears 2 is better. Gears 2 could probably win GOTY with a little competition from MGS4 but, my vote goes for Gears!! SEE YOU GUYS ONLINE on 11/7!!

    If you played the first one then you are in for a treat because this one is bigger and better than ever. If you r a fan of Halo this series is a bit different but still great. Truely a must have must play game for Xbox360.

    When i frist got Gears i loved it. Fun single player, the new mode Horde kicked butt. But after 10 hours or so it started to get boring. The characters are slow and lumbering. Any mulitplayer besides Hord becomes a camp fest. I never once found a room where people were having fun. Single player looks great open areas, beautiful locations and epic battles keeps you playing. But when your playing the game it's just the same thing. you have about 8 weapons to pick from and there few and vary far between. Gears is one of those games you pretend to like and enjoy but in realty it's vary boring.

    Good story keeps you interested in the game. I myself have played the campaign over and over after beating the game. The online experience is very addicting.

    The game is easier than the first one. Multiplayer is better in what they offer, however they still have not fixed the multiplayer issues. Horde mode is so fun and is a really good challenge.
