Gears Of War 2: Hey kids, can you say "blood"?


Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago are back! So are some old friends like Baird, Cole and Anya. With new characters joing the fight like Dizzy, Tai and the unforgettable Carmine. Could the new Gears Of War actually be better than the first game? It sure was! Maybe just because its new but the game was extremely enjoyable. The best thing I can tell you right off the bat would be the amazing story. What else is better than playing a game that is so intricate yet so insane that you are in such awe of its powerful presence. There is non-stop action during the whole game which leaves you with sore fingers and no time to waste.


Now for some info about the game. This game continues from the first installment where Delta Team and the rest of the Gears let off a huge lightmass bomb supposebly to destroy the locust. With the bomb and everything settled there is peace for six months except for a disease made by the eruption of the bomb that spread to humans killing them off. But with that came a mysterious destruction of two cities which are sunk underground. So the humans decide to take the war to the locust and go underground for the fight. I'm not ruining the story for anyone else so thats all I'm going to say. Its a war that you actually feel like your really fighting for. Also you can play a Co-Op story so you can enjoy the war with your friends too.


All the characters are fighting for something. But one of the most passionate would be Dom's search for his wife Maria. The details will later surface when you play the game. But I've never felt actual real sad feeling playing a video game as much as I did playing Gears. Now not seeing its bad. But the amount of emotion put into this game affects the gamer itself. This game makes life look like pie compared to what these humans are suffering. We deal with a bad economy and they deal with millions of deaths.

What this game featured this time was some new weapons, some new battlegrounds and some more blood and gore. They actually doubled the gore almost from the last game. When your character is actually hurt, blood is dragged behind him showing his wounds. I really don't have much to say about this game anymore. If you enjoyed Gears Of War you would deffinetly love Gears of War 2. This game is incredible. So for my final rating. Out of 5X Points I give this game 4.5X points. This game came close to be a perfect score. But I try not to think there is actually a perfect game in this world. If anyone knows it..please let me know. But this game sure comes real close.
