Why It Rocks

 * 1) Amazing graphics thanks to the Unreal Engine 3.
 * 2) It continues the fight against the savage race known simply as the Locust.
 * 3) Smooth controls and framerate.
 * 4) Many fun multiplayer modes such as Horde, which can be played either offline or on co-op.
 * 5) You can be revived by your allies once your health is depleted.
 * 6) You can use downed enemies as meatshields.
 * 7) More features than the first game were added and the gameplay was overall improved.
 * 8) Many new Locust varieties.
 * 9) The main campaign alone can take up to 20 hours to be completed.
 * 10) Much bigger and longer than the first game's campaign, which was considered short.
 * 11) Many new weapons.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes when you are downed your allies will not revive you, even if they are a few steps from you.
 * 2) Occasional glitches and bugs, but most of them are minor.
 * 3) Even on easy mode enemies can deal a lot of damage, so get ready to be revived a lot.
 * 4) The final boss battle is extremely disappointing.
 * 5) Multiplayer is not as fun as the one from the first game. It also feels a bit slower.
 * 6) Never released on any console except the Xbox 360. Though it was made backwards compatible for Xbox One, it was still never make available for Windows yet, even to this day.
