Gears of War 2 Trailer Prepares for Battle

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.

The almost light-hearted looping sound makes it seem like it will be... comical. Plus Cole looking at a flower like that is pretty stupid...

Another bad idea was the song, Mad World was a great song for something emotional because it was really soft and "lonely," this seems more happy and undramatic.

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."

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

      They buy it for the coop and the multiplayer. Single player only gaming is what the PS2 era was about. : Dr_Cube
      
      I thought single player and co-op were stellar and multi was boring as hell. : Sturm08

I hate to dredge up this argument but what if someone were to throw this kind of marketing behind a quality PC title. Would it matter?

Thought that was pretty cool actually. I like GoW's full tailors, they do show a lot of style.
