the game is out of sight and the new maps and the deleted scene is worth the weight in gold.

While the campaign is a fun first-run-though, the linearity of the campaign combined with the repetitiveness of the AI battles makes this a dust collector.
Oh, online multiplayer you say?
Forget about playing this game online. Even with five "Title Updates" (read: patches), they have still not managed to fix all the horrendous problems plaguing this game.
I'll list them off.
1. Bullet lag. Your shots actually take 0.8 seconds to be registered. That's right. 0.8 seconds. No, it's not a function of Xbox Live. It's just bad programming. For a game this big, you would think such a glaring issue would not have made it into final release.
2. Horrendous hitboxes. You will more likely score a headshot by not aiming for the head. Enough said.
3. Broken online "host" system. I will start off by saying Gears of War 2 is not the only 360 game using the host system for online multiplayer. In fact, I cannot think of a 360 game that uses dedicated servers off the top of my head. Well, in any online game, the host will have a slight advantage. That's a commonly accepted fact. HOWEVER. In NO OTHER GAME will a bad host cause only YOUR shots to register, along with some other incredibly crazy phenomena. That is ridiculous. There are very few legitimate matches of Gears.
4. Unbalanced weapons. Whichever team rushes the Boomshot will win. Unless the other team is pulling host like crazy.
I could go on, but there really isn't a reason to.
Gears is a rental at best.

This edition is exactly the original game, shrink-wrapped on it's own, same UPC code/SKU/part number. The card with the download key for the extra content is separate from that shrink-wrapped package, outside the original game, and the two pieces -original game and download card- are packaged again, with the GOTY packaging.
So you could buy this for the extra maps and mission alone, and resell (or even return) the game CD itself, as the standard GOW 2 product.
Oh, yeah, great game.
Great GAME, Extras are downloadable and not on disk September 24, 2009

I love this game (glad I waited to buy with all the extras thrown in).
Seriously, the game is better than the first one and the free maps put the icing on the cake.
The maps are not on the disk (you get a code to download the maps) but this is not a problem for me.
