Gears of War 2 is a worthy sequel.

It is everything Gears of War 1 was, and better. The Game added new weapons, a longer campagin, and so much more.

I will start with the story. Set after the first game, Marcus and Dom are at a Hospital with their new trainee, Benjamin Carmine. Starting from here, the game becomes an adventure. The things you do in the story will no doubt suprise you. One minute you will be flying to saftey, the next you will be inside of a giant animal (I'm not going to tell you what, you have to play the game first). Eventually you will have a boss fight against Skorge, the new Locust Big Shot. I would like to say right here and now, this fight was notably easier than General RAMM. It's quick, and wasn't the most exciting Gears moment I have ever had. I would also like to say, it was not a great ending, no huge boss battle, but it was fun. The Story will keep you playing until you finish.

I guess I'll talk about multiplayer now. It's fun. There are a couple of welcomed new gametypes such as King of the Hill, Guardian, Meatflag, and Wingman. These are all alot of fun, and will get you playing over and over again. My favorite new gametype though, is Horde. I'll talk about that later.

King of the Hill, is similar to Annex from the original Gears. It is a rush to capture and hold the hill. There are 2 differences between the gametypes though. In King of the Hill, you may not leave the capture point or you will lose the territory. The 2nd Difference, is that the point does not move. This makes some interesting and hectic matches.

Next is Guardian, Which Is a game where you must assasinate the enemy leader, while you keep your leader alive. There is a catch though. As Long as your leader is alive, you may respawn, but if he dies, you no longer respawn. It makes you think about how your going to win.

Meatflag, is very similar to capture the flag. The Difference though, is the flag is a stranded that you must shoot down and pick up. If you do not shoot him down though, he will try to kill you, and sometimes suceeds.

Wingman, is a game where you and one partner, battle it out against all the other teams until you two are the last men standing. When One team gets to a certain amount of points, they when the match. This game is going to make you work with your team more than any other game.

Than, There is Horde. Horde is a game where you and up to 4 other friends, team up and fight off the waves of locusts. You'll see a variety of locusts attack you wave after wave. You Must kill them all, and than the next wave begins. If you get to wave 50 and win, you've won the match. It is exciting, and difficult. You will respawn at the start of the next round if you die, as long as your teammates win the round. It's the thing I spend the most time doing on Gears of War 2.

All This, plus the new weapons, grenades, locusts, enemies, allies, and characters, plus a fantastic story equals one great game.
