Pros + Intense & Highly Addictive!!! + More than just a shooter (taking cover, survival horror elements, & squad combat all rolled into one). + Really feels like you are doomed to extinction in a war-torn world. + Gorgeous graphics + Great Controls + Online Multiplayer = Months & Months of Happy Gaming + Awesome co-op play. + Great effects & satisfying melee attacks. + Awesome enemies & you can play as most of them in multiplayer. Cons - Not a lot of vehicles & no vehicles at all in multiplayer. - Online needs work (getting into matches, hosting matches, other people can ruin the experience before you even get to playing). Maps have few weapons and racing to the weapons is a chore. - Host advantage, the same fault that 'Halo 2' suffered from. - Sniper rifle is only single shot. Do semi-automatics not exist in the future? Comments Gears of War is a great game. It still needs some work as far as the online goes. Host advantage is getting old & just plain unfair. This game is one of the most intense games I've ever played. I can't begin to tell you how much fun it is. Just be quiet or the Beserker might here you!!! Verdict A real must have for your collection. This may even make you stop playing Halo until part 3 comes out!!! | |

I started playing campaign mode right away, and was amazed by the incredibly fast load times, even the online play loads incredibly quick. Now there are a lot of games on the next-gen consoles that look like they should be on the older consoles, some even look like they belong on N64 or Sega Saturn. Gears of War takes the potential of the Xbox 360 and runs with it. Simply put, this game is amazing. Gears of War offers more than your typical run and gun, if you want to survive you must use objects to take cover. If you try to run and gun you won't succeed. There's no cross hairs unless you are holding the aim button, that kinda sucks, but you get used to it. Pros: - This game rocks - Not just a run and gun, you need to think fast and act faster - Fast load screens, even in multiplayer - Graphics are superb - Very easy controls, the "A" button does most of the work - Weapon Selection - Overall Gameplay - Graphics, I know, I know, but the graphics are that good - Playing in the harder difficulties is actually harder, the AI is smart and challenging, instead of the increase of enemies that is usually the solution in FPS games - Chainsaw and curb stomp kills - The end of the game pretty much tells you there will be a sequel Cons: - Unless you have an internet connection, you might be a little dissapointed with the length of single player mode - Other than that... NONE!!! Final Verdict: Graphics 5/5 Audio 5/5 Controls 5/5 Gameplay/Story 5/5 Replay Value 5/5 Overall 5/5 Buy or Rent?: Buy, unless you dont play multiplayer, then you can rent and beat, but you still might want to own it. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you. | |

I was never a fan of duck and cover shooters, but the gameplay in Gears of War makes up for it. This game is very violent but i loved it. You can cut aliens in half with a chainsaw or curb stop them when there wounded. The weapons kick a lot of ass. Overall you have to buy Gears of War. Nomatter what. Buy it. | |

| 8 out of 11 people found the following review helpful. I have played many FPS games in my life. From Doom to Half Life, Turok to Perfect dark, Halo to Halo 2, and GRAW to this current game and I goto say, the game is totally unbelievable. Just the sheer amount of realistic action gameplay makes you want to go out pump some iron and become the next markcus ( although cole has bigger guns!). Woaw, words itself cannot describe this game because after beating the game, i want to keep playing non stop. Warning, do not try insane mode unless you have mad lust for blood! :) To break it down into categories for people: 1. Graphics - 5 of 5 - Absolutely breathtaking. This game utilizes the full potential of a Xbox 360. Microsoft lost over a billion dollars to support this game. Everything you see is crisp and real. Set it to 1080 p and you wont recognize what reality is and what a video game is. Best of all, there is no lag or frame per second issue! 2. Sound -5 of 5 - Are you kidding me? You will never get tired of Cole or Marcus grunting like real men. The machine guns are as real as you can get. Get a 2k sound system setup and your house will rumble like the bronx. Voice acting is superb as you really get into the story mode of the game. You will grow to love delta squad and the constant non stop action of things blowing up left and right. Best of all, they sound so real! 3. Replay value 5 of 5 - It is a no brainer. There is a casual mode, hardcore mode, and my favorite the "insane" mode. If you do play the "insane" mode, I suggest taking some caffeine or some adrenaline rush pills. you will need it :). 4. 1 player Campaign - 5 of 5 - you control a squad of certified machine killers. You cannot distinguish them from real humans or A.I. Yes, they are just that smart. The story mode is completely engaging and will keep you going. I mean, the graphics and gameplay is already enough, but some people like a good fps with a good story. This game is definetely for you. 5. Multiplayer - 5 of 5 - Unreal gameplay. You can challenge someone online or offline. Played with a buddy as I showed him who the real man is. If you really want to own in multiplayer, I suggest beating the insane mode once. I guarantee you will be a different man. It is like going to the boot camp to become a marine. HEHE. Also, I didn't experience any lag at all during online play which is a plus. 6. Difficulty - 5 of 5 - This is relative. If you played casual mode, it isn't really that dificult. I would say it's about 1.5x harder than Call of Duty 3. Hardcore mode is about 2.5x harder than Call of Duty 3. And my favorite, the insane mode is at least 5x harder than Call of Duty 3. If you want relative comparison, try playing Ninja Gaiden on hard mode. 2-3 shots from a machine gun fire and you are dead. The bad guys just dont die with one full round of clips( try 2-3). Yea, its insane mode, what do you expect ? 7 Overall 5 of 5 - This game sets the standard for all FPS out there for the xbox360, any other console, and even the PC. The game is perfect and I cannot stress that there are no other games out there that are even close to this. Yes, Call of Duty 3 came out , but the game is no where near as good as this. I didnt really enjoy playing call of duty 3 because i found it to be a drag and i just wanted to beat the game and get it over with. WIth gears of War, you will want to keep on playing the game even after you have beaten it because it is that good. This is definetely a game that can rival the all time favorite G.R.A.W | |

Gears of War is not much in the dialouge department but it overcomes that in the game play. No longer does the AI act stupid when firing at you. To win this game you have to use your surroundings to get anywhere in this game. This has a high replay value on my list of games. | |

| 6 out of 8 people found the following review helpful. Gears of War is what is called a "Killer app." It's the kind of game that sells consoles. It is so good, it makes the Xbox 360 more valuable. I cannot imagine any other game taking Game of the Year titles from Gears of War; it's just that good. The single player is fun. It's relatively short, but bump up the difficulty level and you are in for some nearly impossible gaming. The multiplayer is where GoW shines. It's simple, but it works. And when I say it works, I mean it works beautifully! There is so much fun to be had in multiplayer solely because you get to really use the great weapons in the game. The graphics are nothing short of perfect. Possibly the best looking game ever. Nothing else can be said, it's just incredible. Sound is close to being as good as the visuals. The music is suited perfectly for the game, and all sound effects are exactly what you expect to hear. This game is NOT for the weak. It's disgustingly gorey, but in a good way. It's brutal, vulgar, but just an endless supply of gritty, dirty fun. No one will be disappointed with this game, as it really is next to perfect. Just keep younger children from playing the game. It's rated M, and should be treated exactly like an R rated movie. If you can't bring yourself to allow a kid to see an R movie, then don't let them play this. If you are comfortable in their maturity, then there is no reason to keep em from it. They will love it! | |

| 3 out of 3 people found the following review helpful. From the moment Xbox 360 launched in November of 2005, everyone has been waiting for the “killer app” that would single handedly justify purchasing the console. The original Xbox of course had Halo. But since Halo 3 was a long way off, gamers turned to Gears of War. Ever since its first showing at E3, fans have been dying to get their hands on this graphically stunning game. With Microsoft hyping the game as the next Halo, expectations could not have been any higher. The good news is that all that hype was well deserved. Epic managed to deliver on all of its promises and provide a compelling third-person action game. The game opens up with Marcus Fenix being busted out of prison by his best friend Dominic. It appears Fenix was imprisoned for disobeying orders during the initial locust invasion by trying to save his father. Apparently things have gotten significantly worse since his incarceration and humanity needs every bit of help that it can get. With a full pardon, your initial objective after escaping the prison is to meet up with Delta Squad and stage a rescue mission for Alpha Squad, which is in possession of a weapon that may have the power to turn the tide of war. That’s about as deep as the storyline gets; there is not any more back-story to the conflict or anything like that. But that’s not to say that it doesn’t keep you interested. The game features quite a few excellent in engine cut-scenes that move the story along at a good pace. The combat chatter between the soldiers in your squad gives each of them a unique personality, even if they aren’t very deep characters. While the storyline is only average, the gameplay is exceptional. The combat is very intense, forcing you to take cover whenever you can. Taking cover feels very natural, making it easy to pop in and out to shoot. You also have the ability to shoot blindly around corners to stay concealed, but it is not very accurate. The enemy AI is pretty good at shooting you when you pop out, so you only have a few seconds to fire before you need to take cover again. This makes flanking an especially effective tactic allowing you to rob the enemy of their cover while keeping your own. The enemies put up a pretty good fight and will attempt to flank you as well, keeping you on your toes. You also have a squad with you that you will be able to issue limited commands to. They do a pretty good job of distracting enemies, allowing you to sneak up behind them. They also do a decent job of taking out enemies on their own, which is good because you are usually outnumbered. If playing with an entirely AI squad isn’t your thing, the game has the ability to play the entire single player campaign with a buddy. This can be done via split-screen or over Xbox Live. This can make the game considerably easier, allowing you to work with your teammate to flank enemies. You can also revive your teammate if he goes down as long as he doesn’t die during one of the sequences where you and your teammate split up and go down separate paths. Playing over Xbox Live was extremely smooth without a single hit of lag. To take on the locust horde, you have a pretty good selection of weapons. You can carry two weapons at a time as well as grenades and a pistol. All of the weapons feel extremely powerful and are fun to fire. The Lancer will be your standard purpose weapon for most of the game. It’s a fully automatic machine gun with a pretty good rate of fire, but it also features a chainsaw bayonet, allo | |

Its pretty long too, over 10 hours long if you take the time to enjoy it. But in my opinion, where the real magic lies, is in the live for this game. I haven't gotten tired of the xbox live since i've had this game and I got it months ago. They add new maps every once in a while, and they eventually become free. Also I just think it's so fun to play against other people around the world. The maps also have good things about them that help to get good spots to use it's weapons. | |
