         I loved the first Gears of War more then most games, but now there is another game. Gears of War 2 obviously.
 
  
          Positive:

  • Beautiful, Detailed Visuals and different environments
  • The same action-packed storyline with a few twists
  • A fixed cover mechanic that is a huge relief
  • A much more intense multiplayer
  • It feels much faster
  • More weapons
  • Same great characters + new cool characters
  • A different variety of missions that are also different from the prequel
  • Some jaw-dropping DLC that extends the fun
 
          
           Negative:
  • There are some multiplayer flaws such as unbalancing
  • The multiplayer depends host which can be unfair for the opposite team
 
          Overall the developers fixed a few problems, but also created a couple others. The new flaws are unnoticeable, so it won't ruin the experience. 
 
 
 
 

The background of the first mission. It looks very beautiful.
