Gears of War 2 - The Last Day

8 (8 ratings)

Just when you think you know what a series is about it can go and surprise you. This latest trailer for the Gears sequel is a bit of a turn around for the gritty shooter, and a welcome sign that its story telling element is maturing. Before you ask, we think the music is by Devotchka.

Not bad.. not as good as previous Gears 1 trailer but this certainly will be the game to beat this XMas if this is the TV trailer.

Not bad, as dizzy said though, not as good as the first one.
But they really aren't helping the homoerotic image. Cole & flowers? 4 butch guys watching a sunset?

I don't see how this is not as good as the first one. As far as I'm concerned, it's better.

You know, you only see what you want. If some of you are so focusing on "homo erotic" stuff, maybe there is a closet you need to come out of? Real men like me see only guns in that movie and some monsters to shoot ;)

plenty of homo erotic stbolism going on in that vid, those phalic drills slamming into the ground, the way they looked ever so passionatly into each others eyes in that clos confined space etc, you can deconstruct this a plethora of ways if you want.

Sorry but if they are trying to re-create the impact the first one had, then IMO this has failed. The first one was good because it had the tears for fears track and everyone and anyone knew that track instantly even though it was a cover. But what really got me was the 'ONLY 199" where the hell did that come from?!

I've seen this about 20 times.
It elevates the game above what it is because of the great music.
Pre ordered it is.

Great trailer.
