Incredibly awaited follow-up of Gears of War, lucky and ultra-popular Epic's masterpiece, new benchmark for the third person shooting industry and Xbox 360 exclusive (and one of the best games for the Microsoft console aswell), it's a TPS that mixes Sci-fi and horror with gothic backgrounds. Phisics and graphic are just crazy, they transform every firearm based fight in a breathtaking sequence, full of strategy, skill and teamplay. Developed by Epic, using the “Unreal Engine 3”, this new sequel promises good improvements: Ambient Occlusion, Advanced Character Lighting, High Density Crowds, Dynamic Fluid Surfaces, Matinee Improvements, Soft Body Physics and Destructible Environments are a just a few. In the gameplay we will find s better and more fluid coverage sistem, new moves, new executions, new weapons (like the flamethrower), important modifies to the realod and chainsaw sequences.... these are only some of the new features.

So, 6 months after the General Raam died on that dark train in Act 5, be ready to re-impersonate Marcus Phoenix, Dominic Santiago, Hoffman and all the other Gears, the battle will be bigger, better, and more exciting: 5 vs 5 battlegrounds and bigger maps (only Subway and Gridlock are kept from the first title) for a teamwork that counts more and more.
