Amazon.co.uk Review

In a nutshell:
One of the most highly rated games of E3, Gears of War is looking likely to be the Xbox 360’s Christmas blockbuster with the best graphics yet seen on the system and a tactical twist on the usual shoot ‘em-up gameplay.

The lowdown:
With Halo still at least a year out this is currently the Xbox 360’s premier exclusive shoot ‘em-up. Using a third person, over the shoulder, view rather than the usual first person viewpoint the game emphasis the importance of cover and tactics rather than just running and gunning. The question of cover becomes particularly important given the impressively destructible environments you fight in, which create a constantly shifting battlefield for you to navigate. As you’d expect the game also contains an extensive suite of multiplayer and co-op modes for play over Xbox Live.

Most exciting moment:
The graphics are stunning, nearly photorealistic, but the greatest guilty pleasure in the game so far is the "chainsaw bayonet" and the OTT spurt of gore it extracts from bad guys.

Since you ask:
Gears of War developers Epic Games are also responsible for the Unreal Engine 3 graphics engine which is used in many other games from Assassin’s Creed to Lost Odyssey.

The bottom line:
Who needs Halo when the Gears of War are turning as smartly as this?

5.0 out of 5 starsBest Game Ever
By A. Dilgul on 20 Nov. 2006
Platform for Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard Edition
I've completed this twice now with both a friend in split screen and online using a headset and the fun just doesn't stop, jumping into cover and giving covering fire as your ally moves forward, or holding out in a room using blind fire to keep the enemy from rushing you, the action is just of the highest quality you could ever expect from a computer game, it feels as if your in some kind of epic movie. the main story is pretty long, clocking in at around 12ish hours and it flys by. Even when you have completed it a few times it still brings you back for more, even as I type this at work, all I can think about is getting home and spending another 4 odd hours helping somone with thier storymode over xboxlive. If you have not already got this, you seriously owe it to yourself to buy it NOW, if you don't have an xbox360 then you need to break the biggy bank as this will not be released on any other format.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest game ever....
By Woody1312 on 24 Nov. 2006
Platform for Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard Edition
I've got to admit, I never really looked forward to this game. I was more intrested in buying COD3 when it was released but due to all the hype, decided to bankrupt myself by getting this as well. All the reveiws had been amazing and the Americans on my friends list were going mad about it.

Its not often I fall in love with a videogame. It certainly hasn't happened on the 360 up till now. But this just beats everything I've ever played. Its gone straight to the top of my favourite games of all time overtaking classics such as Goldeneye, Legend of Zelda and FFX.

From the moment I turned it on I knew it was going to be good. The first level on games is usually a bit of a chore, trying to teach you everything. Gears of War doesn't. You learn how to play the game without even realising and within minutes, the controls are second nature. The cover system is absolutely fantastic, allowing you to weigh up your options without getting shot. Do you lean out and fire. Do you roll out of cover to gain a better angle? Do you switch cover? Do you just charge out of cover towards the enemy's and try and take them all with the shotgun. Or do you blindfire. Talking of blindfire, I feel it is the first time a game has finally nailed blindfire on the head. For once, its effective without making it too easy to kill everything. I can't think of another game where blindfire works quite so well.

Moving on through the game, you realise just how amazing the graphics are. In game, everything looks so damn realistic, like a war has been going on for more than a decade. The cutscenes are also fantastic, with the lip sync done perfectly so it actually looks like their talking. None of this miming done by several other games where the character speaks but doesn't actually move his mouth.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe first genuine next-gen game
By Amazon Customer on 18 Nov. 2006
Platform for Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard Edition
This is the first item I've ever bought from amazon that inspired me to write a review, that in itself should speak volumes considering the thousands of pounds I've spent on amazon over the past 5 years.

Gears of War is the 6th Xbox 360 game I've purchased, bought Just Cause, Ghost Recon AW, Burnout Revenge, Oblivion, Chromehounds previously. Those 5 games were ok, but left me with this vaguely dissatisfying feeling at having shelled out so much money on the console and the games, and there was always this nagging voice at the back of my head berating me for wasting my money on this console.

Well that voice just got stabbed in the face and torn apart by a Locust grunt.

Gears of War is simply amazing. Every second I play it I am in awe, in terror, on the edge of my seat. Most games I play I take the gung ho approach and just charge in all guns blazing. Not Gears of War. I find myself terrified of open spaces, of dark areas, of anything that looks peaceful and safe. I know that as soon as I'm feeling secure, the Locust will attack and I'll find myself in the middle of a terrifying hail of gunfire, inhuman screams, yells of victory, warnings of enemies flanking me, and that's just from my teammates! Never in my life have I played a game that made me feel so completely immersed in its world. From the jaw dropping visuals to the excellant sound and the fantastic battle music that builds slowly as more and more enemies come charging at you, covering each other, throwing grenades, keeping your heads down while their comrades try and flank you.

Some of the game innovations are wonderful. Dancing from cover to cover is effortless and highly intuitive.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBest game available!
By Aaron Mcgrath on 20 Nov. 2006
Platform for Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard Edition
I'll try not to repeat everything people have already said, but anyway, here are my thoughts.

Often we all hear the hype of a new game and rarely does such a game stand-up to the hype.

This one does.

Firstly the graphics are best seen yet on any game. One particular level sees you and your mates out in the rain, its sooo real! The audio isn't bad either!

There are lots of cut scenes where you are either finishing a level or are about to enter a big battle. These cut scenes are excellent graphically and help to tell the story along the way.

The enemies are very cool too, there seems to be many different types, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The beserkers are interesting when your battling one!

Some games you will find that your character doesn't move as fluidily or quickily enough, but Gears of War isn't like this at all. The better you become at the game the easier it is to move your character around, ducking and diving for cover or sprinting for the only piece of cover a good 20 yards away.

The only downside I found with this game is that when playing split screen co-op mode, I found the game can stall every now and then for a fraction of a second. But don't let that put you off buying this, its awesome.

One of my favourite features is the on-line play. Not only can you join or host a 4-a-side match, but you can also hook-up with someone to play the single player campaign.

All in all, graphically superb, excellent audio, cut-scenes are awesome, gameplay will last for ages especially of you have xbox live.

Oh and if your the type of player that loves to go for the big gamerscore, you will need xbox live as many of the achievements can only be unlocked on line.

Good gaming!
