Epic has been good to us this month, providing us not only with this batch of screenshots but also a few hours trying out almost every mode Gears of War 2 has to offer. And would you believe it, it's genuinely everything we were hoping. Surprisingly so, in fact.
It's rare for a developer not to break at least something while creating a sequel, but Gears 2 is a flawless improvement in almost every respect. Storytelling, combat mechanics, weaponry, visuals- it's all a step up taken with the utmost care and respect by a team who know exactly what got Gears 1 all those rave reviews and rabid fans in the first place.
We should be getting review code in the office later today, in fact. Exciting times! You can look forward to our exclusive review next issue, and the game itself on November 7th.
