Gears of War 2 - Overview

Gears of War 2 is a third-person shooter developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Studios, exclusively for the Xbox 360.

Like its predecessor, Gears of War 2 focuses heavily on action and visceral graphics as it tells the story of Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago, two COG soldiers who fight against an alien race known as the Locust. It also features co-operative and competitive multiplayer, including a mode called Horde, which has players work together to take down waves of Locust.
