Gears of War 2 will continue with that storyline and also keep the wide array of weapons that are used by you and your squad to kill the Locust Horde. The favorite weapon has been the machine gun/chainsaw combo that allows you to shoot down and saw your opponent. A really cool new feature of Gears of War 2 is being able to use a downed opponent as a shield to keep yourself from getting shot as you continue to fire. This new tactic has gotten a lot of positive feedback from those that were shown the previews to the game. Killing the Locust Horde or your opponent has never been more thrilling.
Multi-player action will be what keeps players coming back to the game long after the single player campaign has been completed. This will keep the game being played well into 2009 as there are numerous map packs, 15 at last count, that you will be able to do combat in. The multi-player option has numerous games that will keep players interested. Reports indicate that at least three new on-line multi-player modes, called “Guardian,” “Wingman,” and “Submission” will be available. Also included is the option for Co-op play.
Gears of War 2 will be a very special game. The violence and action level has been raised. If you liked the first Gears, then you will like the second, as the gameplay has improved across the board. No other game is more anticipated for the XBOX 360 than Gears of War 2 during this holiday season.
