Listen to Cliffy B., Rod Fergusson and Mike Capps discuss the characters and plot of the new Gears of War 2 game. This puts the game in perspective for you if you were wondering what the game would be about and also connects it to the first game as well. I like the introduction of the new character that is almost samurai like in nature and fights for honor. Gear 2 story is looking a bit deeper than the first already, but I have my reservations as the game looks a lot like the first one with tweaks, only time will tell.
