Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent game Comment: Just asome... It have bugs, like every game in the world, but it is an excellent game..
Customer Rating:      Summary: Highly addictive for a reason! Comment: Gears of War 2 is the true successor of the first, because it adds new elements and better gameplay along with the frantic Hoarde mode. It's almost always intense when it comes to single player/co-op, and its always so awesome to sit back and whoop your friends in a live multiplayer match. With a game presented so maturely and everything a shooter should have, this is one of my favorite games and I'm 100% sure it will stay that way.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Gears of War 2 pwns noobs and your mom Comment: This game is a definite upgrade to the prequel. I got this game with the Exclusive Lancer and I am definitely happy with this product!!!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Gears of War 2 makes me happy in my pants Comment: ok so i'll start this off saying that i am indeed a die hard gears of war fan and i'm not gonna be like OMG this game is the greatest thing in existence...no porn is haha but the game is really good they pretty much fixed everything that i didn't like about the 1st one but there are a few things that bother me about the game one of which is how one of the levels plays out but i'm not going to spoil anything i'll just say it's not gears of war and the achievements aren't that hard to get i've gotten 45/50 so far that kinda made me sad because i wanted something to try for you can pretty much get a lot of them by just doing the single player campaign so now i must talk about the online play they changed a lot of things about it they've made the shot gun more weaker and the lancer stronger and they've added stopping power to the weapons too they've also included a party system which is a good concept but if you have a horrible connection don't expect to host a game you'd just have to hope a friend is playing that game and that's about the only things that i don't like about the game but everything else makes me happy and i think that this game is a must buy but if you don't think that just rent it or something you really need to play this especially if you loved the 1st one
Customer Rating:      Summary: Return of the lancer Comment: OK...Gears of War is great. We all love the sound of popping someones head off and hearing Cole talk about his locomotive, but seriously, Epic somehow figured out how to make the lancer even more annoying and unfair. Yes, you still get sucked into the vortex that mysteriously surrounds each and every lancer,but now on top of that, bullets do not seem to slow or stun the approaching chainsaw wielding Ed. So, you take a nicely placed shot with your shotgun and WHOOSH....you get sucked up by the chainsaw. Not to mention that 3 out of every 5 match is horribly laggy (except for that one player who hosts and goes around racking up silly amounts of kills)...oh yea, by the way, its a giant worm.

This limited edition version features several extras, including a Collectible SteelBook DVD case, "Beneath the Surface: An Inside Look at Gears of War 2," a 48-page hardbound book with exclusive art and a foreword by Design Director Cliff Bleszinski, and a DVD with making-of-the-game footage as well as artwork and commentary. You also get an exclusive gold-plated Lancer Assault Rifle that you can use during online play.
