Random Gamer's Review: Gears of War 2

Grundy the Man writes , "from day one, everyone knew that the original Gears of War was going to be a runaway success. Even before the game was released, Cliff Bleszinski, the games lead designer, had been selling the game as something that would be considered a defining title for the Xbox 360. Though Cliffy had the pedigree of creating great games, many wondered if he would be able to deliver on the grandiose vision that he had been promoting..."

what can i say, this guy really knows how to write an article

shovelbum5644d ago

I really enjoyed the game but it has its issues. It came in at about 11 hours for my brother and I on co-op so that's respectable. Sadly I didn't get the Friends with Benefits achievement which only adds to my list of glitches in the game. I hosted the game so if anything my bro should have missed out so very odd. The MP is just horrendous with the waiting times and being booted back to the lobby without option to continue to next board is just plain dumb. They'll get the fixed of that I am sure and when they do, it'll be a much better gaming experience. Still I give the storyline a 9/10.

CrAppleton5644d ago

good review man.. this game is awesome.. cant stop playing it!

killyourfm5644d ago

I'm gonna go on a limb and call GOTY for Gears 2 - it's easily between that and Fallout 3.

By the way, what's up with these idiots reporting this review as Spam? I happen to know the reviewer - he's a genuine Human who writes some decent articles daily...

Jimmy the Greek5644d ago

i dont know what the deal is. its been said before and itll be said again, if its good content who cares where its from?

bgrundman5644d ago

People can be jerks sometimes. It really bothers me to see stuff like this happen.

roblef5644d ago

This isn't spam, it's a good article. Thanks for posting it!

roblef5644d ago

What are CliffyB's other games before Gears1?

bgrundman5644d ago

He worked on Jazzy Jackrabbit and the Unreal Tournament series

Jimmy the Greek5644d ago

jazzy jackrabbit!?!?!? ...ive never heard of that game...

JimmyJames705644d ago

Jazzy Jackrabbit? What the heck is that? He's responsible for Unreal Tournament? That one definitely has a love/hate relationship with most gamers. They either love it or hate it.

He definitely hit a home run with GoW though.

bgrundman5644d ago

Jazzy Jackrabbit is an old school Dos based action game. God I miss those days.

bgrundman5644d ago

Thanks for that, I was having a difficult time finding it.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756104d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00103d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic103d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica103d ago (Edited 103d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack104d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing104d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic103d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos104d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin104d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris104d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine103d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz104d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin108d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack108d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69108d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07108d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn108d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid108d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog108d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992108d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
