Don't get me wrong, I love this game. I just don't see how it got a 10/10 when Gears of War 2 didn't. This game has a great storyline but on the negative side, the graphics aren't the best. Overall I would give it a 8.5

Gears of war oh gears of war one of the best shooting bloody action game that first hit the xbox 360.
But is it realy that good well yes but also no.
The problems are that it is to goddamn short and that the the characters look to fat and run slow as hell the other problem is that once you beat the game you won't want to play it again.
The solo/co-op story missions are a little drag but the multiplayer is what gives this game the golden globe award it has lots of other random idiots you can join and saw them in halve.
what i recomend is if your going to buy this game you better have xbox live or lots of freinds your else your going to be fucking bored.

The Easter Bunny says Gears of War + Xbox Live = fun fun fun

Us versus them
We mercilessly mow down screaming Gears of War fans
Oct 06, 2006
Finally, after months of reading about what our trusted brothers across the pond had to say about Gears of War multiplayer, we got the chance to saw through some chumps of our own. At a special fan event held by Microsoft at theaters around the country, we were forced to sit through The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (which sucked in a hugely gory, but wholly-rehashed-horror-movie-we've-seen-a-million-times-before way). After the film, however, Microsoft redeemed itself spectacularly by » Read Full Gears of War preview
Gears of War - X06 hands-on
Microsoft's most anticipated fall release makes an impressive showing in Barcelona
Sep 28, 2006
We stole the chance to play Gears of War at the X06 event at Barcelona, and our playtime reinforced two things: this game is destined to be a system-seller, and it's time for Microsoft to show us something beyond the first level. The game at X06 was shown in three different set ups: single player, two-player co-op and a 4-on-4 multiplayer match. The single player demo consisted of the same starting level we had played before at E3 and in Leipzig, which introduces ex-con Marcus Fenix as he » Read Full Gears of War preview

New details and stunning stills from what Xbox World 360 reckons is the hottest game on 360...
Jan 16, 2006
Truth is, developer Epic is still keeping Gears of War wrapped up tighter than Michelle Marsh in a cling film dress. But brand new information on one of next year's hottest 360 games hasn't been impossible to find. Not by a long shot. So it's time to tear this tasty shooter apart even more. First up, missions. We've already seen three extraordinary levels: the first was set inside the ruins of what looked like a temple; the second was under cover of darkness and involved an approach to a » Read Full Gears of War preview
Gears of War
Is this the flagship title of next-gen gaming?
Dec 20, 2005
What will the future of tactical shooters bring? Gears of War knows the answer: pain. Gears of War puts you just over the right shoulder (third person style) of former soldier Marcus Fenix. Marcus has been brought out of "retirement" (a polite way of saying "sprung from prison") so that he and his crew can battle the Locust Horde, a bizarre army of monstrosities that have clawed their way out of the underground in order to eat people and destroy their stuff. Unsettling, yeah...but what's so » Read Full Gears of War preview
