Huge Environments, Bigger Gameplay
For those who loved Gears of War, Gears of War 2 builds upon it in
every way, but with several major enhancements. There are more weapons, bigger
vehicles, and more action. The enemies are more dangerous, and the total
experiences is more immersive than ever. And with a revolutionary tactical
combat system, the game will require not just fast reaction times and shooting
skill, it will also challenge you to devise a strategy that will work against
the enemies who exhibit smart AI.
Jaw-Dropping, Realistic Graphics
Just as Gears of War did the first time around, Gears of War 2 ups
the ante for graphical prowess. Combined with the sweeping vistas and evocative
locales of Sera, where the story takes place, Gears of War 2 offers
jaw-dropping graphics that are made possible through advances in Unreal Engine
3. New visual effects include ambient occlusion, dynamic shadows, improved
character lighting, the ability to render hundreds of on-screen characters
simultaneously, improved water physics, additional blood and bullet decals,
advanced destructible environments, new weather effects, and the introduction of
fluid objects.
Immersive, Gripping Story
Taking place six months after the end of the first game, Gears of War 2
returns the cast of characters of the original, including Marcus Fenix and
Dominic Santiago, as well as several newcomers.
Novelist and comic book writer Joshua Ortega, who assisted with the writing, has
created a story that is big on character development and personality. With a new
in-game conversational camera system and multiple story arcs, the story is
presented in a gripping cinematic style where characters gain an emotional depth
that matches their realistic graphical representation.
More Characters, Upgraded Vehicles, Badder Weapons
Those who were impressed by the original Gears of War will be in for a
real treat. New characters such as Tai Kaliso, weapons like the burst pistol,
and huge vehicles like the COG Centaur tank will give players a whole new
dimension and scope of gameplay in both single-player and multi-player modes.
Multiplayer Action with Xbox LIVE!
Gears of War 2 features a multiplayer mode that allows up to 10
simultaneous players for outstanding multiplayer fun. Taking full advantage of
the Xbox LIVE service, which boasts 10 million gamers, Gears of War 2
features both competitive and cooperative multiplayer gameplay. Setting up games
is simple with LIVE, and you have the ability to drop in and out of co-operative
campaigns at any time.
Everything you loved about multiplayer in the original is back, including the
classic death matches, but with this sequel there is an added emphasis on
teamwork. New multiplayer game modes will require better coordination in order
to win. The game also features voice support, so you can communicate with other
players around the world -- whether you're on the same team or trash talking!
Gears of War 2 won several awards at E3 2008, where it was first
presented, including Overall Best Shooting Game and Overall Best Graphics
Technology of E3 2008 from IGN, as well as Best Action Game of E3 2008 from the
Game Critics Awards.
