Empire Online Gears of War 2 Review

Empire Online Gears of War 2 Review

Like the original GOW, though, the game's greatest thrills are to be found online. New competitive and co-operative multiplayer challenges, and a variety of fresh battlegrounds, are only the beginning of GOW2's communal treats, the most frantic being the new Horde option where you're attacked by an ever-growing extraterrestrial army, ramping up the challenge until your head is spinning and trigger finger stiff as enemies swarm in from all corners of the screen.

Outrageous gore and crisp visuals also help make GOW2 a bewitching blaster; and while series aficionados may feel as if they've seen it all before, the chance to cave-in enemy skulls with your bare knuckles and multiplayer challenges you'll play for months make this the perfect Christmas companion, and an experience that won't grow old as you yomp into 2009.

I guess someone wasnt told about the embargo lol

Great to see another perfect score, expecting a lot more on monday

Defiantly shooter of the year and i got a feeling it will be GOTY from a lot of sites as well

Less than a week to go now!!!

Jinxstar5648d ago

It's awesome. With it being a 10 now, when the PC exclusive content releases just like the first one, it's going to push past the perfect 10 mark. however if the PC version releasees anytime near diablo 3 I probably wont be buying it...

"I guess someone wasnt told about the embargo lol"

Yeah - It is also painfully obvious that Empre haven't even played the game.

Read it, it reads like a preview. Everything they talk about is widely known knowledge already and they dont discuss gameplay AT ALL.

Disappointing Empire! short on page views?

Just the beginning of the floodgates to be opened and watch the perfect scores burst through.

Harri44445648d ago (Edited 5648d ago )

it should its using the 360 power to the max. (just think of what games well look like when they use the PS3s power to the max)

The combination of Scores and Sales...Gears 2 will sell more than LBP and MGS4 guaranteed.

aaron235648d ago

Gears 2 failed to get 10/10 from even pro xbox magazines

Xbox World -91%

OXM -9/10

Stubacca5647d ago

I really liked the first. And I can't wait to play this.

But MGS4 this aint. Other than this, the 360 is outdated. I don't rate DLC for any console either, SHOULD BE ON THE DISC!

It's great that EMPIRE gave the game a 5 STAR....

But I am a bit concerned about the review because anybody who gives STAR WARS: FORCE UNLEASHED 5 STARS is a wacky sackboy!

Lightning PS35648d ago

Sasuke looks hot. M/37/NY ...Call me.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B1h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21831h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh1h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia1h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins1h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal1h ago

The first game was the best imo.
