Video Game Reviews of Gears Of War
Customer Review: Groundbreaking..
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best games on the the 360 for sure. Just needed to throw that out there to begin with. This is an amazing game on so many levels. Who wouldn't enjoy cutting people on half with a chainsaw, I mean honestly, how often do you do that in the real world. I mean this game is so different from other games. It has no derivitave moment at all. The game isn't subtle with its gore either. The multiplayer is strong which only helps this game. The achievements are fun to earn, and around 600 are easy to acquire. The campaign isn't really long, but you'll play this one again and again.
Overall 9.5-10.0
Customer Review: short but very fun
Summary: 5 Stars
it was a lil short but once you start playing its very addicting, beat it on every setting within the first week. the online play is very nice as well. hopefully the second one will be a lil longerCustomer Review: This is a great game!
Summary: 5 Stars
In short: The graphics are Excellent. The story is pretty cool. And, it is a fun game to play too.Customer Review: Very Good, not Great - I think I'm spoiled
Summary: 4 Stars
Maybe I've been spoiled by the in-game story telling of Half-life, or Bioshock's writing, but Gears of War left me wanting more than I had hoped for. Maybe, for me, it was the victim of its own hype, but I had wanted more.
What I loved:
+The graphics are amazing
+Level Design is great (if linear, but I like that for games like this)
+Learning curve is great
+Multiplayer is awesome
Shortfalls
-Controls aren't perfect. More than once I've thought, "I wouldn't have died here with a mouse and keyboard." or even a second button instead of a universal, do all button.
-They steal the good bits from you. Why are all the cutscenes amazing? Why can't I play those parts instead of watching Dominic and the gang do them while I watch the screen? These parts REALLY made me miss Half-Life's storytelling style.
-Quibbly problems with autosave locations (really? I have to unblock that door up the stairs and down the long hallway AGAIN before running to the APC?)
Otherwise, great game that everyone should try. Borrow it from a friend and buy a copy if you like the first couple levels. The action is fast and intense and NOTHING beats that first chainsaw kill. One of the biggest thrills I've had in a game in a longtime after the first little sister in Bioshock.
Customer Review: Fanboys shut up already!
Summary: 1 Stars
Allow me to tell the TRUTH about this game and why Gears of War sucks. This game has horrible level design, every level looks exactly the same it just feels like your playing the same level over and over and what makes that worse is that all the enemies are lame and look exactly the same. Also Lame graphics that old in 3o seconds. Worst of all is the gameplay, grenades suck running sux walking sux cover sux and even getting out of cover sux. Also the stupid big dude you play takes up half the screen which is plainly dumb design. EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP BEING SUCH FAN BOYS AND FOLLOWING EVERYONE ELSE. THIS GAME IN ALL HONESTLY IS JUST NOT FUN AT ALL, DO NOT BUY!!! there are plenty of other awesome 360 games and this is not one. If you want a similar duck and cover game get GHOST RECON ADVANCED WARFIGHTER. GRAW is much better game and one that actually has smooth cover gameplay. Ive beaten both gears and Graw. Graw is better. Soo get that, not gears of war. GEARS SUCKS!!!
