Gears of War
This game rocks!!! It's fun and exciting!
This game lives up to all the hype surrounding it. 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.
