• Gears of War 2 Review Quotes

  • The differences and enhancements in Gears of War 2 feel very calculated and intelligent. It's clear that no one set out to break things that worked before, and the most dramatic steps were taken in an effort to widen the game's appeal to players who might not be good enough to play it, otherwise. But it takes on this task without dumbing itself down and alienating the people who already liked the first game. - Jeff Gerstmann, GiantBomb

  • While the plot makes sense this time around, its clumsy mysteries are old hat to anyone moderately well read in science fiction. Still, finding bad things to say about Gears of War 2 is like trying to hate on the ‘07 Patriots. - Adam Biessner, Game Informer

  • The real star, however, is Horde, a ballistic assault on your worst score-rush tendencies that transforms maps into Gears-flavoured Mutant Storm: weapons spawn, then a wave of enemies hits, then more weapons and then another, tougher, wave. - Christian Donlan, Eurogamer

  • Fans of the original will definitely want to get their hands on this latest chapter in the Gears of War saga, but those who were unimpressed the first time around will find no reason to change their minds now. - Nate Ralph, Game | Life
