Gears has gone way far beyond my expectations. The graphics are amazing, at lesat on a good 1080 screen, but still look fine on a normal 480p tv. The gameplay is outstanding, and the cover could not be better. The only thing is i wish you could play with 10-12 instead of only just 8 on muiltplayer. Besides that best game!

I'll start off by saying that this game is way over hyped, with the whole "redefines all shooters" thing. It's a good game, and worth $60, but isn't THAT revolutionary.
What the game does have is beautiful graphics, cutscenes are very well done and grenades are much more realistic, unlike halo, your enemies don't just get thrown up in the sky when they're hit with a grenade, they do get torn to shreds. The blood is a slight issue, I personally I have no problem with blood but it does seem a little overdramatic at some points. For instance, when you chainsaw an opponent, it's okay for them to be ripped up and pumping blood, but do we really need blood splattered all over the screen?
The cover system is done very well, but i felt that while they started out strong with it, towards the end they got a little lazy. You're still taking cover at the end, but you really don't use as many "advance transition moves" then you do at the beginning. The music score is okay, nothing you'll

After seeing the previews on the television and internet I decided to purchase the game. My girlfriend and I love to play Co-Op games but are not into sports games and that leaves our options low. Gears of War is an intense game with none stop action, a great story line, and graphics that will make your head spin! We started on the Casual level of difficulty, which is like the Easy setting on other games, and there was still plenty of action for the two of us! The only problem we have with the game is that some of the creatures can climb on the ceiling and with the split screen being horizontal, it makes it some what difficult to see them. Other than that this is a great game for adults. The game is rated M for mature and is not for children. The end of the game also provides a gateway for a sequal which we are both looking forward to seeing!

I am what I would consider to be a veteran Gamer being able to recall when the atari 2600 was first released and growing up playing PONG...Having owned nearly ever video game system ever released, I have to admit, Gears of War is arguably the most advanced and outstanding game i have played... the consistantly outstanding graphics and gameplay draw you in to this fantacy world that they have created...I have to agree with some of the other criticism's in that the story line game play is not as long as I would have liked, BUT...THE ONLINE GAMEPLAY MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR ANY OTHER PERCEIVED LACKS!!! GEARS ONLINE IS OUTSTANDING!!! For those of you waiting for Halo 3 to come out and need a GREAT game fix until March...I would highly recommend this game...There is not a huge learning curve even for you newbee's looking for a fun game to cut your teeth on...
The only downside, in my opinion, is some of the language...I found it sometimes a bit "obligatory/cheesy", in that it seemed like it

gears of war really brings out the xbox 360 graphics with a war torn battefield and for the player to roam and destroy his enemy to with his chainsaw for a malee weapon this is a must third person shooter.

Pros: Graphics, Cinematics, Play Control
Cons: Extremely difficult, Lacks color, No Jump button
There is no doubt that Gears of War has spectacular graphics! The characters are extremely detailed and life-like, but the best part is the cinematics. They do everything in real time so the cut scenes don't take you away from the action at all. Sometimes it even feels like they've got a cameraman on the scene with you. You feel like you're part of a movie.The gameplay is somewhat technical and does require learning a few tricks. For example you want to be careful where you walk. Hiding behind pillars and sandbags is an integral part of the gameplay. What I love is how you can hide behind a sandbag, poke your head out to let off a few rounds then go back into hiding in a matter of seconds. The vibration is done quite well and sometimes the controller alerts you to your impending doom.
The monsters are great! They're the best part of the game. You'll be finding yourself ducking and poking around just to avoid butting heads with something ugly and massive. The final boss
