Anyone one who bought the first Gears, like me, would've been salavating in anticipation for the release of Gears 2 (ok, maybe not salavating, but really, really excited), and the anticipation has been met.
So, everyoneone knows there was not much of a story in the first game, it was just moving from a to b, action style, for guys that like shootin stuff, blah, blah, blah. The second game will satisfy Mass Effect (possibly, maybe) fans with its storytelling. New characters are introduced and there's a big focus on Dom finding his wife. The graphics are incredible, the landscapes huge (and the beasts) and the detalis fine. There are new guns, that all look and sound awesome, the gameplay is pretty much exactly the same as Gears 1, hidin behind walls and covenient obstacles and poppin up to shoot. Also, this game is longer than the first, and a lot funner (no Beserkers), the multiplayer is great (Horde mode) and this is an overall far meatier package.
So why not 10/10, well although its a better game than the first, it definetly won't have the same impact, but its still the best third person shooter on the 360. Also, the end bossfight is a waste of time (it could have been a billion times better).
