Epic Games
Gears Of War 2

LA RECENSIONE

First of all, I can't believe that no one has ever reviewed this brilliant game since 2008. Nine years have passed, and the game had never been mentioned on Debaser. Now let's proceed with the review. Because I must, otherwise there's no justice in the world. A brilliant game, obviously in 3rd person. Unfortunately, there are many lost sheep who spend heaps of money on 1st-person games, because the poor souls don't know that Doom was conceived in 1st person only because the hardware power at the time was very limited, and it was impossible to make it in 3rd person.

Let's start with the review. And on the first day, God created Gears Of War, which was already a beautiful game, but after trying it, you realized it wasn't perfectly calibrated. The idea was perfect, the game mechanics were perfect, the graphics were perfect, but not the multiplayer. The multiplayer was conceived just as an option for the single-player game. So Epic Games committed even more with Gears Of War 2, which succeeded perfectly. In the second GOW2, the multiplayer was developed in a perfect way, indeed, it's even better than the single-player game.

Now, if you're not an autistic nerd, it's obvious that playing against the computer tires you, so you check out the multiplayer, where you can interact with real players. In this case, if you're not an autistic nerd, the single-player game only serves to gather the characters to use in multiplayer. Once you've collected the characters, multiplayer will be the only part of the game that interests you. Especially the now-famous "Horde" mode, where a team of 4 intrepid fighters must defeat waves of locusts. Beautiful maps perfectly designed to defend your position.

All you needed in 2008 was an Xbox 360 and a copy of Gears Of War 2. Be careful, because no one has ever managed to create a perfect shooter with a perfect 3rd-person multiplayer at the same level as GOW2 up to now. We are in 2016, but I still haven't found a shooter at the same level. So I continue to play this phenomenal 3rd-person shooter, watching how the burnt-out youth squanders money to buy the infamous crappy 1st-person shooters. I hope someone has the brains to do something on the level of GOW2.
