Effective. Simply. Gears of War 2 has had the good taste to not renew force. We thus find the ingredients that made the success of the first episode: impeccable graphics, gameplay effective ... and novelties making the game even more 'badass'. New weapons, improved online mode, script and interesting characters ... A true GOTY holding spellbound for hours. Too bad the Host Advantage comes often distort the parties on the Live. However, no hesitation, buy it!
