The first game was to serve as an introduction to the game, and introduces us to some of the characters, weapons, gameplay and storyline which is explained more in depth in Gears Of War 2. One of the complaints about Gears Of War 1 was that the game was very short, which is something that has been worked on in this game. In addition the game promises bigger badder action, weapons, characters and missions.

Stunning visuals courtesy of the Unreal Engine 3 will leave you wanting more. If this where made for a PC it would probably be so graphic intense there wouldn't be a graphics card that would be able to handle this baby!!
