Gears of War is one of the latest shooters on the 360 and you play as
Marcus Fenix, an ex soldier who was sent to prison because he refused
orders when earth was getting attacked; to save his dad! Only to find
out his dad already died. 14 years and earth is in war with the locust,
a group of monsters previously referred to the boogey man. Dom, a delta
squad soldier who breaks into prison and frees Fenix. With the help of
Fenix they set to stop the war on earth.
The gameplay in gears of war
is basically take cover, shoot, frag them together and melee them when
they charge at you. This feels fucking sweet!! The main focus is covering,
everywhere there's somewhere you can take cover and kill people. You
just go near the object, wall, fort etc and take cover. Shoot, cover
shoot. It's the greatest experience in gaming ever. After a few hours
you'll star covering when you're playing football and then when they
get a point they'll go to you: WTF? That's how it is. You can sprint in
the game by holding down A. Also if you press L then you can aim. You
can blind shoot too. The health system in Gears of War is similar to
Halo 2, you recover after a period of time.
Basically a Massive Gear
piece will come to the screen first as a fade then when it's becoming
clearer you're in danger! Simply cover and after a few seconds will
heal. Brilliant! Beats looking for health packs for an hour! The sound
in Gears of War sounds fucking amazing! You can hear them screaming for
their lives as you kill them and the music is OMG SRYSLY?! Yeah that
good. It also alerts you if you have enemies to kill making the game
suspense and helping. You have many guns in the game from the sniper
gun to the chainsawattachedrifle.
The chainsaw gun in the game is an
A-K 47 with a chainsaw on the top of it. The chainsaw acts as a melee
weapon. And trust me it's the best thing ever; all the blood goes onto
the screen! You'll need time to be a master it. You also get this arrow
gun which when you shoot someone they explode, regardless of who they
are, unless they're a boss. It can carry a few ammo at a time, same
with the rocket launcher. The sniping in this game is so easy that
you'd thing you're a pro when you first use it. No more online snipers
you can be a newbie and be a "sniper" it's that easy. The pistol is
good for shooting mini monsters and close enemies.
The graphics in the
game a **** awesome!! They look real, they're the best ever. You'd be
amazed at the graphics and gore levels. You do get to drive a vehicle
and it's crap! One of the worst missions ever. It's slow and you can
only have one person doing everything. When you shoot something they
all die. There are two bosses in this game and yes you guessed it one
of them is the giant spider, I'm not telling which one though. This
said Gears of War is a short game, maybe a little longer than Halo 2
but still. It only has 5 acts. But you'll play this more and more and
more!!!
