Gears of War 2

The sequel to the popular Gears of War, Gears of War 2 improves on the first one and delivers breathtaking gameplay that players will enjoy. There are new weapons, a new storyline, new monsters, and new stages. The 10-hour campaign mode offers plenty and the online multiplayer offers even more. Gears of War 2 picks up the story six months after the end of the first game. The Locust are so powerful that they can sink entire cities from below, whereas the humans are becoming even more desperate thanks to the spread of a disease called rust lung. With fears that the last city of Jacinto might fall, it's down to Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago to take the fight to the Locust in a desperate last stand against their alien foes. The game is still the same gameplay as the first one but with some slight changes. The weapons are much more balanced, your AI can heal you, and the cover system has been honed. Gears of War 2 manages to take the violence even further.There are four ways of executing your enemies, all of which are mapped onto the face buttons of the joypad. X performs the standard curb-stomp, B delivers a quicker blow to the back of the head, and Y flips your foe over for repeated punches to the face. Finally, the A button lets you grab the wounded enemy to use as a meat shield, affording you some protection until you decide to finish it off with a neck-break. The signature chainsaw move has been adapted so you cut upward from the crotch if you approach from the rear, and if two players ready their saws, they enter a duel that's won by whoever taps the B button the fastest. The game is very violent but for those who can stand it this is a great fps.
