Gears of War 2 for Xbox 360




MARCUS FENIX IS BACK, BETTER AND BADDER THEN EVA

The sequel to the hottest selling game on Xbox 360 is here. When it comes to first-person-shooter games, games prefer the keyboard and mouse. but Gears of War has made lot of FPS fans pick up the joypad to shoot at the alien scums.

Marcus Fenix and the COG Delta Gorce have the job of stopping the locusts in their path and putting up an end to them once and for all. Gameplay is faairly easy to adapt to. A new player playing FPS on a console for the first time can start at the novice level and easily scalp some aliens. there is a storyline that can make the whole game experience quite hooking. Sounds takes the the game to the new levels-if you don't think so, try playing with sounds off. In GOW 2, the gun shots, explosions and foot squashes make for great aural stimuli.

the game is quite gory, so keep the game kids away from it. Just in case the youngsters manage to get their hands on a copy, parents can turn on the mature content filter which will disable unkind words and on-screen blood.

The graphics are excellent with good detailing of charecters and scenery. Firing in the aim mode and blasts are also better than in the first version of the game. The melee attack lets the player kill the enemy close by with the chain saw attached to the gun and it looks very cool on screen but gory too. The blood gushes all over even on the TV screen.

Price: Rs 2,199
