Gears 2 IGN UK review = 9.2

They say it has the best AI ever in a video game. Also that the visuals are pushing HD games into a new realm.

That review is making things more complicated since IGN UK says that the story is meh at best while IGN US says that the story is really good.

 

"While it doesn't come close to reaching the confused gravity of a Metal Gear Solid 4, Gears 2's story, and more specifically the journey, will engage you enough to keep you wanting to continue through to the end at a gallop -- ideally with a friend, as once again, it's an easier go with co-op."

That quote up there pretty much indicates what 1UP thinks about GoeW2's story:it's good but not as great as MGS4's tale.

 

Technically, MGS 4 doesn't really have a story on its own; it's more like a conclusion to the whole Metal Gear saga (linking everything together). If Gears of War 2 is indeed the final game of the main Gears series (which I doubt) and that it doesn't ''quite'' deliver though, then yeah, that would make sense.

 

I don't think I have to be told that.  I doubt GeoW2 will be the last game in the series because GeoW2 is bound to sell millions and the game seems to end on a major cliffhanger a la Halo 2.
