GEARS OF WAR!!!
This game is the shit, if you have an Xbox 360 and you havent played it yet you owe it to your self to get ahold of this game. AI is smart and tactical your group helps out with little command, and its hard very hard. This game will keep you on your toes and looking for cover every minute, I telling you, you go into a situation with guns blazing your not going to last long. Weapons are awesome, graphics are awesome (probably better with a HDTV, I have a WEGA 27" so it is not showing the games full potential) there is also a lot of swearing which make it true to life... I would guess. I have only made it to the first promotion but I bet its all up hill from here on!!!! one low point is the grenades are not your ussual granades and can be hard to toss
PS I know this should have went in the mini review but this game deserves its own thread

I want this game. I saw a TV ad where it showed a huge spider-type monster of Ninja Gaiden proportions and that's it, 'coz it's all blood, blood, blood from there on in! I've seen a few vids on GameSpot of the chainsaw in action. If you thought Doom was bad, wait till you see the blood splatter all over the screen after your enemies are reduced to chunks of flesh. This will be the game of the year.
Awesome game! It looks amazing in 720p, far better than anything I have seen out of the PS3 launch. The controls and gameplay took me a while to get used to, I kept trying to play like I do in Halo and I got my ass handed to me everytime... But once I figured out how to play I had a blast. Only got to play for a couple hours and I want more. Worth buying a 360 for.

Yeah, this game kicks ass. I've played it over at a friend's house. It does look amazing. That's because it's a game made a year after 360's launch. Of course PS3 games can't really compete right now. However, I do think it will win out later on in graphics. However, right now, Gears of War is where it's at. The game is so realistic, it brings a whole new level of challenge and interaction. What, with the power of the game and the system, and the A.I. and all, it's definitely an intense game.

Oh no I have found acouple of gliches: one, I got on top of a car once after tring to roll from cover, and two, the krill keep killing my buddy and making me start a section of the game over again which really sucks, since I am barrowing a friends 360 while he is traveling, and renting the game trying to beat it... my copy should be here soon... that is how good the game is I have a copy and not an Xbox360!!??!?!? o_O
PS none of these gliches are making me wish I didnt buy the game

It all subjective but I have also played Call of Duty and I would have to say that GoW was a lot more to offer stoy wise and game play wise, plus in CoD3 you cant lock on to your cover and shoot around it without exposing your self. Also you have a better perspective in GoW... also it all matters what you like more FPS'ers or 3rd PS'ers.

GoW kinda has the best of both worlds. When you're running around it's 3rd person, so you're vision's not limited to what's just in front of you. When you take aim it zooms in to almost 1st person so you can be as accurate as you need. Also, I don't think GoW's overrated in the slightest IMO.Sandman wrote:it all matters what you like more FPS'ers or 3rd PS'ers.
Has anyone played the multiplayer on Xbox Live yet? It's supposed to be something like Counter Strike or so I've heard.
i only played 2 minutes of this game, had some giant monster dood chasing me on co-op had to dodge it, then a brithday girl came in and i stopped playing. However those 2 minutes i would have to say pretty much sold me on the game.
and to the nay-sayers about graphics doesnt make a game, the detail in GoW is just drool...

I have just played two hours straight and like I thought this game just keeps on getting better and better... I could do with out the small puzzle here or there but thats just me... also killed my first corpser, not as fun as you would think but it was a pretty sweet video... Another thing I will critique is that they (game makers) a coulpe of times have tried to go for a cheap scary here and there, but that never hurt nobody over all the game is still a 10 in my book

Heck yeah that will be a good way to burn the PS3 for good, not saying that it hasnt done that by its self already, but which a much cheaper 360 sale will go through the roof... even more so since Halo 3 will be out soon... damn they probably will not drop the price until Halo 3 has been out for a while at least that is what I would do, because you know people who dont have a 360 but want to finish Halo will go out and buy it price drop or not

holy shit....
past 2 and half hours was spent co-oping on my friends 50 inch hd tv... drool..
Fucking game is tight as hell. The reloading is a nice feature, people with quick reload skills gain the advantage, allows for a different way to play the game. dialogue is just plain hilarious, after reviving an injured friend, "get up and fight you pussy!"
controls take a while to get use too, only problem i can find so far with the game is that the AI is a bit stupid sometimes, however this is on casual, so hopefully its better on insane.
ITS COLE TRAIN TIME!

I experenced that problem but with a quick clean it played great... but anyway I beat the game, it was a good ending but for some reason It felt choppy too me but all in all good game... oh and it screams sequel very loudly... I alsothink that there will be a prequel but emergence day that will rock to see what went down back then.

this game rules, beat it on all the difficulties, can't find the cogs for shit, but the only game xbox has released that has system link co-op worth fucking with. 10/10 on my list of 360 games.
