Gears of War 2 To Be a Bestseller

Gears of War 2 will be released on November 7, 2008 for the XBOX 360. Without a doubt this game has been one of the most talked about, and sure to be one of the most popular games, of this holiday season. Ever since the first Gears of War, this combat action shooter has been wildly anticipated. The action in the game is frenetic and the controls of the game are some of the best seen in action games such as this.

For those not initiated, the Gears of War franchise is a third person shooter by Epic Games, exclusively for Microsoft Studios. The game can only be played on an XBOX 360 as it is an exclusive title to Microsoft. The first Gears of War was also released for the Windows operating system. The guts of the game relies on a modified Unreal 3 engine to power the action and graphics.

The game continues with the player as Marcus Felix as leader of COG Delta squad. Their goal is simply to stop the Locust Horde from destrying humanity and taking over the world. Gears of War 2 will allow the player to use those familiar weapons, and a few new ones, to continue on the goal of destroying the Lucust Horde before they wipe out humanity. One of the most popular weapons in the arsenal of the game has to be the chainsaw mounted on a machine gun for shooting or sawing your opponents. Gears of War 2 has a new feature that allows the player to use a downed opponent as a meat shield while you continue to shoot. This new tactic has gotten a lot of positive feedback from those that were shown the previews to the game. Violence has never been so much fun.

Multi-player promises to be where Gears of War really shines. This will keep the game being played well into 2009 as there are numerous map packs, 15 at last count, that you will be able to do combat in. The multi-player option has numerous games that will keep players interested. Reports indicate that at least three new on-line multi-player modes, called “Guardian,” “Wingman,” and “Submission” will be available. Also included is the option for Co-op play.

Gears of War 2 will be a very special game. The violence and action level has been raised. If you liked the first Gears, then you will like the second, as the gameplay has improved across the board. Gears of War is easily one of the most anticipated games coming this holiday season for the XBOX 360. For those that enjoy Gears of War action figures or Gears of War toys, new versions of those will also be released during the launch.
