Product Description
Platform: Xbox 360 | Edition: Classic Edition
Gears of War, an Xbox 360 exclusive game that blends tactical action with survival horror, thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing tale of humankind`s epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet. The storyline plays out like a Hollywood blockbuster -- lead character Marcus Fenix pits advanced human technology against the overwhelming Locust Horde. Built around a revolutionary third-person tactical combat system and breathtaking, high-definition visuals from the Unreal Engine 3, Gears of War immerses you in a horrifying tale of war and survival.
The gameplay is focused on a fire team co-op so advanced that your A.I. teammates are indiscernible from human players. Voice recognition and real-time lip synching heighten the absorbing experience. The Unreal Engine 3 technology brings out the smallest details in the largest of battles. With GOW you`re sure to experience a rich, dynamic world where characters spring to life. Speaking of life, the battlefield is a lethal place. To survive, you must suppress your enemy with blindfire, take cover in interactive environments, and use weapons and teammates to outwit your dreaded, inhuman foes. And with a title like GOW, it would be shame if you couldn`t get online and challenge live gamers. With the next-generation of Xbox Live, you`ll be able to experience individualized matchmaking, view player statistics, earn player achievements, customize games, and build personalized gamer profiles.

Platform for Display:Xbox 360|Edition:Classic Edition
Fun:
Yes, the game is essentially cover, shoot, cover but it is not as repetitive as some people suggest. If all you do is run for cover, especially on the harder levels, an enemy will come and melee attack you and you're dead. There are also a variety of weapons that change gameplay and the final boss is definitely more challenging than ducking behind cover and shooting; there is timing and movement involved as well. I really enjoy this game, especially co-op missions and I'm sure shooter fans won't be disappointed.

Fun:
Mint game, story and characters. Harsh Learning Curve, tedious on first play through, but is then addictive. Not as short as people say, but is pretty short, but there's always gears of war 2 when you finish. Trying to complete campaign on all difficulties is also rewarding.

Platform for Display:Xbox 360|Edition:Classic Edition
Fun:
I have had this game since launch date, however, it is only recently I have really started to play it. At first when I played it it just didn't really feel right and I didn't get into the game at all. I think this was mainly because I was enjoying myself too much on call of duty 3 online which is great fun.
However, this is one of those games that you have to play a lot to really appreciate how damn good this game actually is. I've seen many people moan on about how short the campaign is, I say it is just the right lenght, it took me 6-7 hours to complete the whole game, via xbox live with a friend I might add which is a brilliant idea, however, I do think the story could have been explained a bit more as if you read into the story,, you find it is a very detailed plot.
To online play. In verses ranked matches, again, you have to play the game quite a lot to really get into the game. At first when I played online I thought it was rubbish, everything was over too quickly, it was too difficult, but after playing it for a while I just can't get off the game.
Overall, this is easily the best 360 and next gen title by a mile, nothing compares to the awesome graphics and game play. At £20 odd pounds it really is a steal, an absolute must buy, believe the hype. Astonishing game.

Yeah! A true classic, easily entertaining, not too short and not too long. GOW is a game that aims to please. Highly recommended and crucial to any fan of the series.

Great game, but technically flawed
This game is really good, when it plays well. First three acts are really playing good, although at the end if the 3rd, if you die few times, you quickly become tired. Read more

I never play shooter games because a)its not my cup of tea, the genre never appealed to me before. b) its so gory and violent that I'd much rather stick to my very innocent Sims... Read more
