Gears of War 2 Trailer Prepares for Battle

October 23, 2008 2:05 PM

The release of Epic's Gears of War 2 (360) is nigh, and the game's marketing muscle is in full force to mark the occasion.

This 60-second, Yahoo!-exclusive commercial--a follow-up to the "Mad World" spots that promoted the original--was described by our own Steve Gibson as "haunting and artistic." The new commerical, dubbed "Last Day," hints at the human drama expected in the sequel.

Come November 7, gamers can try to remember all that drama in the midst of making their opponents cry and dashing from cover to cover.

If only as much thought was put into the trailer was put into the gameplay to mix things up a bit and not be so repetitive besides "the stealth level."

  I guess you don't keep up with news much. Besides, GoW = Multiplayer game

    Really? Seems like people buy it for the singleplayer to me...but what do I know? I don't own a 360.

      Yeah who wouldn't want to buy a multiplayer game for it's pathetic paper cup singleplayer "plot"?

      They buy it for the coop and the multiplayer. Single player only gaming is what the PS2 era was about.

        I thought single player and co-op were stellar and multi was boring as hell.

  I'm getting it biased on the single player and the co-op.
