Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection (Xbox 360)

Gears of War 2 All Fronts Collection Downloadable content on Xbox Live can be a troublesome thing. On the one hand, there's the infinate supply of songs on Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero, as well as terrific DLC maps and add-ons like the World at War Map Packs and GTAIV: Lost and Damned. Yet there's also ludricrous downloadables like two hour long add-ons which cost a whooping 800 microsoft points, stupid and merely cosmetic costumes which should be in the game and freaking horses armour which disappears if your horse dies and cannot be re-used again!

The all fronts collection is DLC for the game Gears of War 2 avaiable on the Xbox live marketplace for 1600 points.

All these maps can be played on online multiplayer and local. The maps themselves are great and include lots of variety. Not only are all these maps ...  Read the complete review

this is amazing value for money. yes 1600 microsoft points may sound like a lot, but for what you get if anything its under priced. lets look at what you get: you get a new chapter of story mode which can be done in co-op and also has 2 different ways of playing (stealth option were you dress up as locust and sneak past them and the guns blazing option were you go in and just kill everyone or everything) then on top of that you also get all the map packs (flashback, combustable, snowblind and the all new dark corners) all of which make for a much more interesting online experiance. every single on of these beautiful looking maps have thier own unique weapon set which ...  Read the complete review
