-Gears of War 2
Gameplay:
This game is just as much fun as Gears 1, except just a tiny bit better. Why? Because they took out the berserkers that were in the first game that were just annoying. This makes the game a lot better, and it is still a really good game. There are some fun new stuff like picking up downed bodies as shields, and some cool new weapons.
19/20
Story:
The story is a little bit less confusing than Gears 1, and is pretty interesting. Dom is searching for his wife, something about Marcus' dad (sorry, I forgot what), and other stuff. Also, I got the Limited Edition so that came with a nice little book that explained some stuff about the story.
9/10
Graphics:
I couldn't find any difference in graphics from Gears 1. There are different looking places, but overall, it just seems the same. Not bad, too. The graphics are pretty good. I think it still has that load problem.
8/10
Replay:
This game is hard to replay. Mostly for the same reasons as Gears 1. Read the Gears 1 review for the replay information. All I'll say is, this game is a little bit more fun, so it's a little bit more fun to replay.
6/10
Total: 42/50
Awesomeness %: 84%
Recommend? Yes. If you don't own any Gears games yet, get this one. At least get it first. It's slightly better, and has a nice new gametype called "Horde" (fight waves of Locusts). Lots of fun.
