Xbox 360 - Gears of War Reviews

Many people who look at me would never guess that I do get an ounce or two of pleasure playing third-person shooter games. I would not label myself as a gamer. I would imagine such an individual to feel withdrawals if they can't be by a video game console within any 24-hour period. But if I start a game, I intend to finish. Which is why I can easily get sucked into such a label if you catch me at a time when I am trying my darndest to beat the Big Boss or finish the last chapter. However, I can go for months and years without every touching a controller.

Gears of War was the very first XBox game...

this game is just as good as the second one.  the weapons are all unique and the gameplay is incredible.  the xbox live gametypes for this game are amazing and puts the game over the top .

Gears of War is the best looking game I've ever seen (for it's time). No contest. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, we can talk about the game. Gears of War may have been built around the campaign mode, but the adversarial multiplayer game is nothing to scoff at. The maximum of eight players split into two teams may be a small number for a modern online shooter, but it works well to keep the action going, especially when your first death means you're out of the game. The rounds move quickly and you never feel like you're just waiting around for the game to end, which takes a big chunk...

 GEARS OF WAR

When my boyfriend first bought this game I was very skeptical because the only games I played was Gun or the Sims but when I started playing this I was so surprised because you really get into the story fast, the graphics are awesome and me and him actually bonded over something that had to do with a video game.

I love they have different stages that you see yourself beating and the normal version is great for people that have never played a shooting game before.

 I love the weapons but my fav is the sharp shooter. The lens is awesome and you can kill them with one shot with it and...

Gears of War

Some words to describe this game are

unique, innovative, and sadly... repetitive.

The gameplay is intense, a real nail-biter at the beginning. It has stunning graphics, it's creative, and quite creepy. But as you progress further into the game the gameplay doesn't change very much.

Sure, it's wicked awesome to fight huge beasts with unrealistic weapons. But when does the shooting stop? When do the explosions stop? It's quite chaotic, which is cool, but chaos that lacks variety gets boring. And that's exactly what happened with this game.

Overview:

Great game, I would recommend it. Just...

I absolutely love this game.  Great FPS I've seen in a while.  Just got the email from Microsoft last week about GOW2 set to release in November.  Can't freakin wait for that.

 The only thing I probably didn't really like about this was the Live part of the game.  It was good, but not as good as say, any of the Tom Clancy's or COD's Live part of the game.

Also, loved that I didn't have to sit through the painful cut scenes all the time.  Sometimes you just want to get back to the action!

Gears of War is a game full of rampage, and there is tremendous amounts of gore all the way through. So for the weak stomachs out there, this may not be the game for you. Gears of war uses many features such as wall coverage and a third person view for shooting that is amazing. There are horde's of enemies and at the highest difficulty it seems impossible to get through them at times. Overall the graphics are great and the story line keeps you intrigued.
