After reading all the bad reviews, I feel I can respond to them. Yes, the running efect is pretty bad and i dislike it... So I stopped using it and it was amazing. It makes the game more difficult. While running, how well can a human turn, afterall? The difficulty is higher in consideration with other games. After beating CoD2, i decided to pick up GoW again and finish it off... It is so good. The graphics are great. The gameplay opions and diversities are amazing and if you are having problems with the controller, you have problems. After switching from Playstation 2 for 6 years, from launch date, the Xbox is so much better... The controller is amazing the way it is laid out and the controls works great. Very fun, very playable game... I gave it four stars because i just beat CoD2 and 4 and they are better than good... Not all games can be 5 stars... Gameplay lays Halo to shame.... I hate that game

gears is awsome

people, this is the most visually pleasing game out there. It has great weapons, control scheme, and sound. I know how people hate short 1 player games, but this one is not short. it takes skill. you have to hide in cover place snipes well, and carry out deadly mission of complete suicide.
Oh and goodbye bayonet, say hello to mr. chainsaw!!.

Overall:great game great graphics. Though online if you die in a match you dont respawn like on halo. you have to watch your teamates kill via camera. anyway this is a must buy. also its third person

not that anyone will read this

Not that anyone will read this. But for every one that gave this game 1 or 2 stars. Don't hate. This game has (at this time) 310 5 star ratings. This game was amazing. Now for you to say repetitve, maybe because you can't beat it you played the same level over and over again, but the time and effort placed into this game was hard work, and it paid off. Can't wait till 2 comes out. If you're a real gamer. And you play for the balance of fun, sound, style, graphics and (in my case) blood and mayhem. This is always on top.

Amazing

I wasn't really a big fan of FPS's but after playing gears of war, that changed. This game is amazing. The graphics are great and the online multiplayer is lots of fun. You may find yourself playing for hours. Great Game.

Never boring

This Game is the best game i have ever played. Online is awsome and Graphics do make a game cause look at Halo 3. The graphics on that game suck so bad and First person shooters are so old its anoyying .Third person shooters are perfect. You can hide behind stuff and blind fire. The only thing Masterchief can do is get on his knee. Ha!!! Halo is for 10 year olds get Gears of war a mans game.Its is a little to mature for kids 10 and younger.And the blood and head popping is awsome.But they do need a bit more variety in guns though

Very nice try

First I will agree that if you own a 360 you should at the very least play Gears Of War! With that said the game is far from perfect! Yes graphically the environments are gorgeous, but that's about it! All of the characters are less than awe inspiring and the Delta Squad characters appear especially cartoon like.

I' am a stickler for graphics and thus found dead Locust carcasses becoming suspended in mid-air annoying, albeit I only recall this happening twice. Another graphical hiccup for me was having the seemingly colossal Locust carcasses treaded through and subsequently strewed aside as if nothing more than rag dolls by Squad members while advancing through the environments.

As for the story, it's really lacking and frankly not very original. Overall Gears of War does offer worthwhile gamplay, being best enjoyed in co-op or multiplayer via Xbox Live. The aforementioned is a must if your going to permanently add GOW to your library!

Nice!

I am a student majoring in video game design and have taken so many classes about games and the game industry that its not even funny. Seeing as how i know way more about games then any one person should i will get down to business. This game is a very high quality game that has great graphics and a wonderful design to it. The levels truly convey the idea of a once beautiful world now destroyed by years of war. Yet the characters convey the gritty feel of true elite soldiers fighting in a last chance for survival style of warfare. The cover system is fun and easily mastered but it can be a little annoying in some areas where you have to constantly run around switching cover because your teamates seem to like wandering into your field of fire. But all that aside, the game is great. Uping the difficulty level gives it a new twist where you really have to fight for your life. Your squadmates actually fight right alongside you and tend to be pretty good when it comes to supporting your character. I personally loved the game and have found great replay value in it. Not to mention the fact that theres a gun with a chainsaw blade on it to cut enemys in half...the first time you pull that off is just...awesome. This game is not for kids though. With the copious amounts of blood and gore and the spattering of foul language its not a game for your little kid. But for any other gamer, you have to play it at least once. Its a game that deserves a spot on every gamers shelf and i beleive that you can enjoy this game no matter who you are.

Fun fun fun

If violent shooters are your game then Gears o' War is your game. I love the various methods you have to kill your enemies. The enemy AI is not stupid but allows the baddies to duck and cover and flank you. Very nifty game.

frustratingly good most of the time

firstly, this game is definately the best game so far in it's genre. do not hesitate to buy it. single player 'easy' mode is fine and over quite quickly, but the remaining difficulty levels prove far more challenging. this sets you up nicely for the online play, which is where i think this game really excels. you have to bring your A-game to the table online to really get into it though. however this is also where the frustration (and annoyance sets in). if only the following could be banned online: 1. immature trash talking kids 2. clicky groups constantly congratulating themselves or crying when they lose 3. unsociable retards. your gaming experience online is ruined by these 3. when you can find people other than these it is truly an exciting, fun and otherworldly experience. lastly, when developing the sequal please make the character move more quickly, crouch anywhere and not stick to everything...thx
