Gears of War is an absolutey fantastic 3rd person shooter set in a grim world where Locusts are driven against humanity like fish are driven to a rod. This game is the definition of between a rock and a hard place. As our heros set out to tackle the infestation and send the spawns of saiten back to hell. It's a dark, brutal, grim future. Never fight alone. 11/10.

Not my cup of tea but I definitely do like the fact that this game isnt trying to copy anyone and it just has its own unique taste to it.

When released, "Gears of War" was a innovative blast of freshness in a genre dominated by "Halo" and similar games. The "run and cover" mechanic is influential and really does simulate strategic movement through a devastating war zone. Gruff and brutal, "Gears" remains a milestone for the Xbox.

One of the best Xbox exclusives and one of the reasons I bought a Xbox 360. I admit that I never played the multiplayer but the single player run was one of a kind compared to other games even today. Gears of war is a most if you have a pc or xbox believe me its a microsoft classic now.

Gears of War - Review

Fenix the fight! 

Unlike other shooters, Gears of War is all about teamwork in a big way. All game modes, levels and scenarios are designed specifically to encourage co-operative play, whether it be with A.I. partners or human players (with A.I. teammates designed with specific strengths, weaknesses and personalities.) On top of that, voice recognition will be available for players, and obviously voice chat to discuss strategy with your friends. In addition to voice chat, gamers will be able to experience individualized matchmaking, view player statistics, earn player achievements, customize their games, and build and personalize their gamer profiles over Xbox Live.
