Everyone knows the formula. Post links to reviews about one of the most anticipated games of this year: Gears of War 2.
_____________________________THE MOST IMPORTANT REVIEWS______________________________
- IGN gave the game a 9.5 out of 10: "It has non-stop action, fresh gameplay, varied environments, an engrossing storyline, multiplayer that will have people busy for years to come, and some of the nastiest and coolest kills I’ve seen in a videogame."
- GameSpot gave the game a 9 out of 10: "Gears of War 2's new environments, weapons, and multiplayer features round out an all-around superior action package."
- 1UP gave the game an A: "Despite a few flaws carried over from the original, this new Gears chapter shows an impressive level of polish."
- Gamespy gave the game a 5 stars out of 5: "Epic's highly anticipated sequel is indeed bigger, better, and more badass than its predecessor."
- GameTrailers gave the game a 9.5 out of 10: "The game consistently manages to put impressive, holy crap-worthy stuff on-screen. Your ears get their fair share of candy, too. Voice work is almost always right on and the music is epic, foreboding, and dangerous."
- Eurogamer gave the game a 9 out of 10: "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."
- GamePro gave the game a 5 stars out of 5: "Granted, Gears 2 isn't the smartest shooter on the market, but for now, it is probably the must-own title of this holiday season for Xbox 360 gamers."
- Giant Bomb gave the game a 5 stars out of 5: "Gears of War 2 intelligently builds on the successes of the first game, resulting in an immensely appealing sequel that is better in almost every way."
- X360 Magazine UK gave the game a score of 10 out of 10: "A masterclass in design. Brutal, epic, beautiful and harrowing in equal measure, Gears Of War 2 announces Epic’s reign as the king of the action videogame. Absolutely essential."
- Team Xbox gave the game a 9.8 out of 10: "All of the multiplayer, both co-op and competitive, completely makes up for any that was lacking in the first game. For those that thought that Gears just wasn’t suited to multiplayer gameplay, that it was too tactical and slow and was better suited to a single player experience, prepare to eat your words. It’s fantastic, and rounds out the complete package that is Gears of War 2...Gears of War 2 is about as close as you can get to the perfect gaming package."

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
