Bountiful UI improvements and fixes, Greater scale in graphical presentation, Great new multiplayer modes, Longer campaign with some really interesting bits, New weapons, enemies mix up the action well, Horde mode is awesome, Offline multiplayer, bots
Campaign feels uninspired at times, best bits are with the exeunt, Online party interface not conducive to small groups, solo players, Level design can be frustrating at times, Single-player experience suffers slightly from co-op focus, Texture pop-in ...
Gears of War 2 is a conflicting title in some ways, and you can hopefully see that in the back-and-forth nature of this review. I had a tough time trying to organize my thoughts on this game, from the moment it was first revealed through all my subsequ...
Abstract: Gears of war var ett hysteriskt hårt hajpat spel men mot alla odds lyckades det leva upp till förväntningarna och leverera en så originell spelupplevelse att ingen kände sig lurad. Med sin konstnärligt intressanta grafiska stil, smarta spelmekaniska ...

Abstract: BODIES AS SHIELDS!!! This won’t be a complete review because I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone. Like you, I’ve been waiting since I completed the first Gears of War, so instead, I’ll tell you what’s different. Cool? But I can tell you that it’s...
