Is anyone as excited as me about this one? I know the xbox 360 may not appeal to everyone but damn this game looks awesome! The graphics are on par with the PS3 and the play mechanics although not fully developed are very cool. You can see the dust and individual bullet holes when you shoot a pillar how cool is that? If you want to play me you can find me on live gamertag feo muchahco, when it is released of course. Its something to do until halo 3 comes out. |

This game looks absolutely amazing! I may get a 360 just for this! It looks gorgeous in a gritty way and quite frankly, it's probably going to be the new Halo for the 360. Also the chainsaw is soooo cool! I'm still set for the Wii though. |

I like how GoW will incorporate the real FPS strategy, one that relies on well thought out gameplay and not circle strafing. Is this th efirst time? |

Its not really an FPS, its falls into ther category of third person shooteres. It does however require that the player use a little strategy. If you just run out in the middle of the battlefield the locust wiil cut you down in secounds. It actually requires that you either find cover or make it form objects lying around the world, like a coffe table or a broken down BWM. The game also force you into slightly horrific stiuations where you have to fight against a huge ass monster ina very tight space. As for multiplayer I heard it was a plast from the coverage at E3, who said "chainsawing a guy in the face is one of the most rewarding experiences ever." |

Well now Gears of War is out and I have to say it is the single greatest game I've played this year. My buddy and I sat and beat the game in 1 session, then pumped it up to insane and beat it again. Then we ate some food, invited our friends over and played multiplayer. It is a 3rd person shooter but if you hope to hit anything with accuracy they have a FP aiming system. SNIPER RIFLE BRAINSHOT FTW! It is just a refreshingly good game amongst the crappy wannabes out there. It dares to push the genre further and looks damn good while doing it. My only wish is that it was a little bit longer but multiplayer options means it defintely has replay value. GoW2 FTW! 9.5 out of 10. Halo who? |

The only downside to this game is the single-player campaign whcih almost completely lacks a story. You run around for all of a day in game time and hear the voice of the presumed hive mind of the enemy which alludes to a sequal and the game ends with no real sense of satisfaction. That said, this game is phenominal. The multiplayer is by far one of the best I have seen in a long time. The forced use of strategy and tema tactics is a great addition. This is probably the only game I have played where people communicate over the headset for the sake of relaying information instead of just insultign people or singing "ultimate showdown" There is such please in having your team mate lay down suppresive fire when you tell them (even though you don't know them) so you can flant the enemy and cut them in half with a chain saw. The weapons are another major plus. Every one is very well balanced. The sniper can kill in one hit, but has slow reload and a one shot clip, the grenades are powerful but require you to leave cover to aim and can be stuck to an enemy at close range, but said enemy has the chance to run after you so you are both killed in the blast. In short, buy this game. You shant regret it. |
