Gears of War

defankt's Gears of War (Limited Collector's Edition) (Xbox 360) review

stunning. simply stunning.

if you own an xbox 360 and you haven't got Gears of War, what are you playing at!? get yourself down to the local video game retailer right now! and pick one up. okay it might be a little old now but it still looks and sounds first class. the visuals are some of the best seen on the xbox 360. the framerate nearly 90% of the time is running around 30fps or higher, which is very good for such an early release.  the audio is just right, setting the scene for some intense duck and cover shoot outs very well. gameplay, although quite limited readily offers battles that could easily take on CoD2. lastability i've played through the game at least 8 times. with the co-op experience adding a lot to the lastability factor.

highly recommended.

It's my personal opinion that games just don't have the same magic as they used to.  It could be that we're breaching too close to reality with the looks, and realism effects and character models based on people we recognise might be taking things a little too far.  Many games, particularly shooters have become a little tired and predictable.  I'm very glad to say that I don't find this to be the case with Gears of War.  Made by the Unreal Tournament team, there was never a chance I wouldn't pla...
