War Machine

Last week I recieved gears of War 2 in the post (I know, I'm a little late to the party) and initially I cannot say I was impressed!

Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean it wasn't good, I just didn't think it was anything better than the original. Again, that's not a bad thing because GOW is a fantastic game - but gears 2 starts with much the same just more blood (chainsaw sequences are fantastic). For that reason I cannot say I was that eager to get through it. But then something changes...

At the point of investigating the abandoned facility the game play and level design seemed to change for me. It was as if the first half was designed to get you back on your feet after not playing the first game for a while and now it's time to get serious! Gears of War 2 suddenly becomes amazingly fun. There are parts in the game that are going to keep you playing through again and again just to relive those moments. It's truely an 'epic' game, a must buy for any 360 owner!
