The AI of the Grugs (nickname for the aliens you fight) is quite good.better than the AI of the Flood in Halo. As I have mentioned, this is one of the best games ever. In my opinion, it beats out Halo 3 hands down. And the online play is great. The headshots in Gears of War are so incredibly satisfying--to see their head explode from a thousand yards through the scope of your high powered sniper rifle, and the blood spurting from their severed arteries is fulfilling on a primal level.
Some people call it overrated but Gears 2 delivers everything it said it would. The controls on Gears 2 feel a bit more simple than the first but it allows new players to join in the fun. Although I will admit the online play was a bit sluggish at release, with a few patches the game has highly improved, even including a new ranking system. Horde was a great addition to Gears game play and it is mostly what me and my family love to play. The story was good, although the ending felt a bit disappointing, we still have Gears 3 to make up for it. I hope :P
I have played many.many.many hours online and it is just so addicting. Gears of war 2 is a great game. I have been playing gears well before I purchased part 2 and I was waiting for it to come down in price. Well developed, very good graphics, and a good storyline continued from the first installment. The best part of the game is the multiplayer online games. Not only did I get a great price on this game but it was shipped quickly and in perfect condition. Must buy for every video game fan.
As far as game play goes there are not to many down sides. The only down sides to the game is the ending of the game, the time it takes to get a group of people to play on multiplayer (of course this may be due to some technical issues with the host or connection to the internet, not real sure), and the tedious riding of tanks, wierd ell looking thing, or Hum V looking things. To fully enjoy those graphics you need to get an HDMI TV and cable to really get all the game was ment to give. If you want a fast pace shoot first and ask questions last blood brawl, then this game is a must have. All in All a great game, but even the greats have their down points. I have already beating this game yet I keep playing it, its that good.
Like most players I know including myself, once you beat a game you throw it in the draw for it to collect dust or go trade it in for another one, but this game keeps you coming back for more and more.
You travel from stage to stage with an objective in mind and you crush any opposition that comes your way.
I like running around and use strategy to kill enemies.
The game has impecable graphics and action at every turn.
To me when you have to ride these things and shoot its just not fun to me.
The multiplayer part of the game is by far the best I have every played.
Even better than the All Great and Mighty HALO (Yes, I said it).
Sniper for instance.
I had to give this game a 5 star rating.
Finally finding Dom's wife and seeing her as a mutant and then Dom having to kill her to save her more pain, was a tear jerker, seriously. I dont understand these bad reviewers, unless they are just entering puberty and battling pimples and are nookie starved. The cut scenes were great and so was the heart pounding monster battles. I was engrossed in the game from the start to the end, the visuals were stunning, many times I wud jus stop playing and look around the envirement in awe. Getting swallowed by giant worms and sea creatures was totally wicked and having to cut ur way our was so cool. Now with used games available and price drops the game is a must have. So if ur not swayed by angry acne scarred adolesents, then grab this game and have some serious fun.
