I am not a major gamer, but when I heard about Gears of War and that it is better than the Halo series, I bought it. The graphics were superb, the music was outstanding and matched the game-play. WOWOWOWOW the game-play! Freakin' amazing weapons.... the chainsaw gun..... the Hammer of Dawn! Gears of War is a game that will be a classic. The actual storyline is a bit too short, but the nice thing is that once you beat the game, you can play again on harder levels. Gears is the most addictive game i have ever played other than Guitar Hero II. Even if you die in the game, you'll want to jump back into the action.
I would give this game 9 1/5 out of 10 and if you would like more information or help please look at my comment board

"Gears Of War" seriously smashes any other War-Action video game from the new millennium. This is probably the most spectacular game of it's kind when it comes to unlimited action, gore, visuals, sound, and even dialogs. The weak point is the plot because it doesn't let you explore more of it but oh! who cares when it's all about action?! This game started a revolution in video games because it creates a whole new world based on not-so real humans battling aliens in an Apocalyptic scenario.
The visuals are just impressive and you won't get better. The sound is impressive and I would compare it to any action movie from the likes of "Independence Day" or even the almighty "Terminator 2: Judgment Day".
This is the prime example of the XBOX 360's power. It's a must have for any video game lover. The online mode is just as addictive and spectacular.
Please get this game and be part of the new history of video games.

For anyone who owns a Xbox360 and is not playing Gears of War right now, it is imperative that you do so. Gears of War is an epic game created by.. well.. Epic Games. It is a 3rd person shooter that utilizes a somewhat tactical feel. You fight an alien/monster horde called the Locusts, and old-school shooter style, there are large bosses you must kill every so often. The online is more team based than the campaign mode, because you can revive your teammates (if you can reach them in time), and four guns always wins against one.
If you are questioning purchasing this game, you will regret it if you don't. Go out and buy Gears NOW!

I knew from the start Gears would be a great game. I didn't doubt it for one second.
Graphics- On non HD T.V.s it looks amazing. So much detail went into almost everything. But on HD you will be blown away. Either way, it looks great.
Sound- Probably the only bad thing. The sounds and everything are great its just the voice work is a bit caveman.
Violence- Had to bring it up because when I first chainsawed an enemy I was like "Whoah!". Definitely a gory game.
Gameplay- Sort of like Resident Evil 4. The controls may take a bit time getting used to but once you figure them out aiming and shooting will be simple.
Overall- Great game. A must buy for 360 owners.
10/10

WOW. Just WOW.
This game caused so much hype for avid 360 gamers like myself...and boy did it live up to it's expectations! I bought the limited edition version and got an extra DVD with it and a small hard back book with pretty pictures and nice words. I haven't watched the DVD yet as I wanted to finish the game first.
I am so impressed with this game. The story is admittedley short, but if you play the story in INSANE mode, it's going to last A lot longer than if you play it in CASUAL mode. However, the story itself is really good...you're working towards getting something (A Resonator) to destroy like a second world. It keeps you involved, and I do think that if they made the sotry any longer than it is, it might start to get abit repetitive...so well done to Eipc Games. Even the online version is very good, very fun. Abit like Halo 2 online, in the sense that, EVERYONE wants either the sniper rifle or the grenade launcher. lol. There isn't any lag either! Well, I didn't experience any.
The co-op is awesome! I played the co-op with my boyfriend, and working together as a proper team is exciting! And I must say...The graphics are unbelievable!!! My dad has a Samsung HDTV and oh my god...talk about take your breath away! Every 360 owner should have this game...if not...WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! :)

- TriviaThis game is, according to Epic VP Mark Rein, the sole reason the Xbox 360 has 512mb of RAM instead of 256mb. Supposedly this cost Microsoft around $1 billion.
- GoofsIn the flash back to when the resonator was deployed, Baird hangs back and watches the resonator briefly before Marcus tells him to hurry up. When the player actually witnesses this scene, Baird immediately joins the others after setting up the resonator.
