I BOUGHT my Xbox 360 because of Gears of War. When that game came out and I got the chance to play, it sealed the deal as to which system I should buy for this generation. It had never been done before and, despite being story-light, I couldn't put the game down. It was just so fantastic and so rich. That combined with the amazing combat and cover system and I was hooked. It is still my favorite 360 game...UNTIL NOW.
Gears of War 2. How in the hell could the sequel be any better than the original? It's a sequel. It's just not possible. Except that it is. This game is amazing. Where to begin. Well, they used the Unreal Engine 3 and the graphics, physics, and capabilities are amazing. On top of that, there are new game modes, new weapons, new co-op opportunities. I cannot describe it.
And if that wasn't enough, they fixed the issue from the last game, story. While still not an epic love story or drama, this game is a classic war story of men fighting for their lives. There are a enough twists and turns in the story to keep it interesting and you feel as though you have a reason to be somewhere instead of just moving from area to area killing things.
If you have a 360, this game is a must buy for sure.
