I am a Halo fan and when I heard about GOW, and how it was supposed to be as good as or better than the upcoming Halo 3, I didn't believe it. Some of my mates had bought it and had told me it was fantastic so I bought it later on that year for $40.
The first thing I notest when I had started up the game was its amazing graphics, best I had ever seen. As soon as I started playing I was hooked, I was not out of my room for 2 days. It was a rather short game but it was jam packed full of fun and awesomeness. Excellent graphics was complementeed by good voice acting and sound, a powerful array of weapons and tough, smart A.I.
When I bought Halo 3 a few months afterwards I was still replaying the campaign and using the multiplayer. Although overall I thought Halo 3 was a better game, Gears of War is still awesome.
