Gears of War 2 for Xbox 360
Gears of War
2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the 5 million-selling blockbuster
action game, and one of the most popular Xbox 360 games in history.
Features:
- Jaw-dropping visuals: Gears of War 2 raises the graphics
bar for next-generation games through its breathtaking visual effects, made
possible through advances in Unreal Engine 3.
- Engaging story: The last cities on Sera are sinking,
swallowed by a new Locust threat from below. As Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad
pursue the Locust, the mission turns deeply personal for Dominic Santiago as
he uncovers clues in the search for his missing wife, Maria.
- New gameplay features: The original game's genre-defining
gameplay has been elevated to new, vicious heights. Engage in survival of the
fastest with new chainsaw duels. Pick up and carry downed enemies to absorb
gunfire as you charge into battle. And as if that wasn't enough, executions
make a gruesome return - the trusty curb stomp is now joined by a whole series
of weapon-specific finishing moves.
- New and updated weapons: Gears 2 offers even more ways to
bring enemies to their knees, with an overhauled arsenal of classic weaponry
plus many all-new additions, including moveable shields, new grenades, and
devastating heavy weapons.
- Co-op campaign: The revolutionary co-op play introduced
in the original Gears is back with a vengeance, with an upgrade that allows
players to seamlessly to drop-in and drop-out of a campaign with their friends
through Xbox LIVE without disrupting the game. Additionally, each player can
select their own difficulty level, so that players of different skill levels
can play together and enjoy the entire campaign in co-op mode.
- New and expanded multiplayer: The most action-packed
online experience gets even better with new and improved competitive
multiplayer experiences on Xbox LIVE. New modes, such as the all-new
co-operative multiplayer Horde mode provide all-new ways to mix things up. A
new party system has been added so you can easily find friends, form a full or
partial team, and continue together from match-to-match without the need to
reform after each game. And TrueSkill matchmaking joins players with similar
skill levels together for competitive multiplayer
matches.
