Rating: 5 StarsFive Star G (Gear, Game)

Halo 3 is the Gold Standard for 1st person shooters, and Gears of War remains the Gold Standard for 3rd person shooters.

If you are just getting involved in the Gears of War franchise or a long-time fan of Gears of War I, Gears of War 2 is an extremely rewarding purchase.

As far as a sequel is concerned, Gears of War 2 improved in every area, and certainly every category that is important. The gameplay is smooth. The campaign is single or co-op two player, and is quite engaging. The textures help immerse you into the world seamlessly. The multiplayer is diverse and always challenging. Horde mode allows you to play against A.I. characters in teams of up to five human players, which by the way, is a game mode emulated by several other games, including Firefight in Halo ODST and Extraction Mode in Army of Two 40th Day. The developers have made a slew of diverse maps available to download to enjoy in multiplayer, keeping things ever interesting.

I am 28 years old, with a wife, a house, a Great Dane, and a full time job as an educator. I don't have a lot of free time to sit down and game with the Xbox 360. But when I do have time to play, the game that keeps ending up in my system, no matter how many other games end up in my collection, is Gears of War 2.

The Bradygames guide for Gears of War 2 is a hefty and handy guide that will make a great companion to a great game. It is about 300 pages, which is pretty beefy for most FPS guides. It's broken up into several sections (COG training, COG armory, Locust databank, Campaign walkthrough, Multiplayer warfare, Multiplayer map analysis, and COG intel archive). The training, armory, and databank sections are all chock full of exposition about characters, weapons, and enemies. The campaign walkthrough lists out all the major encounters you'll have with enemies (along with strategies for defeating them). The multiplayer section is quite large and contains lots of info about all the game modes and maps. The intel archive has a list of collectibles that are scattered throughout the game, as well as achievements. Very handy. It's a beautiful guide with lots of large, clear photos. The layout is nice and easy to follow. Get it!
