Today, I'm here to review one of my most precious games. A game I have bought three times: This game has brought me much joy over the years, and as I type these words, I am listening to the music for the trailer to the sequel. Ladies and gentlemen, Gears of War 2.
As many people know, sequel to games are most developers chance of "Make Or Break", a chance for the game to be solely improved beyond belief or fail and fail the series all together, even kill the company. Fable II and Call of Duty 3 are perfect examples; both received bad reviews and thus were not as great as the developers hoped. But if only a few hiccups, Gears of War 2 rode the right wave and became an instant success.
Gears of War was to become a classic and nearly every gamer (at least I know) has a copy of this game. As Gears of War 2 was released in November 2008, the game skyrocket and was an instant success. The gameplay was a brilliant addiction for the series and the voice recording suited the world fantastically.
However, the small bugs did bother the majority of the gamers in this arena. Their biggest problem being the Multiplayer.
Not only did the multiplayer have bugs, it was also frustrating for a match to be found. Players were used to the COD4 type of Multiplayer matchmaking; quick, simple and gives the ability of choice to the player. However, Gears of War 2 wasn't as decisive as the games of its recent time. Finding a match could take a long time, sometimes an hour or so, and when it did, if the game wasn't stable, it was possible the player may be rejected to join. However, if the player could join, they would be free to no lag, a friendly community and the ability to kill fairly and decisively. The Gear team did release several map packs to try to fix this problem, but in the eyes of the gaming community, and for the gamers outside America, it only made the problem worse.
However, in this man's eyes, this could be overlooked. The actors gave it their all for the characters in this game and it paid off fairly well. The graphics were well designed for its time, the product itself brilliant and I for one cannot wait for the sequel. If the gameplay release at E3 can make me call out in excitement like a 9 YO child, to miss the game release would be foolish.
Out of 10, I gave Gears of War II a 9.5/10
