Huge Environments, Bigger Gameplay

3. 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
