Prologue
I had first heard of this game at X05, a xbox 360 only convention, this game looked promising but the only footage really shown was a trailer. Fast forward 1 year to E3 06 where this game was shown off at the Microsoft press conference. This built up the hype so much that when I finally got the game I was ecstatic.Review
This game was truly the first next-gen game, from the free-flowing cover system to the amazing Unreal 3 engine, this game is truly spectacular, and is played by many people to this day nearly 2 years after release.
The story could be better, it is a typical "aliens come to earth and take over" type situation, saying that it is still a immensely enjoyable game and one I urge you to play if you haven't done already.
Gears comes into its own with its great multiplayer, 4v4 player might seem small but it is pulled off perfectly.
It is a well balanced, extremely fun and gruesome multiplayer.
One of the best games of 06
