Gears of War 2: A shiny toy with rusty parts


Gears of War 2 was suppose to be the game of year and though sales were profitable the over all gaming community was cluttered with disappointment. First of all this game is definitely a rent and not a buy with only really 7 hours of game play. So if you do the math your paying about 7 to 8 dollars and hour for this game. In my opinion this is purely wrong but of course that is the trend and this is why I rent games through gamefly now. Gears 2 is an epic storyline that does not require but recommends you have played the first game. The story however can be boiled down to one giant tease. Most of the major plots never really get solved and those that do leave you going well that was worthless. Overall game play is good but nothing really stands out about it as the game play hasnt change sense Gears 1. So in short you got an overpriced, overrated and unsatisfying game experience. But fear not my Faithful Gear followers that are cursing this very blog entry im sure Gears 3 the quest to make more money is just around the corner.
