This game is a one of a kind.  Marcus Fenix is truely one big badass! It is a def. must have for any xbox 360 owner! 

The multiplayer is very good yet still isnt on par with games such as Halo 2 in its online community. however that shouldn't discourage anyone from picking up the game. 

 The storyline is great and the graphics and gameplay are incredible. What makes Gears of War unique from other shooter games is its cover system and its 3rd person view. The game, unlike other shooters, makes the player utilize the environment around them for cover. If you don't use cover, the game punishes you for it...which is really cool. The voice acting in addition is great.  It truly is the stepping stone into the next generation of the gaming world. Looks great on any TV but looks spectacular in HD.
