i think this is a pretty good game. its fun to play and so far it seems like the campaign can last u a cople of hours (i haven't finished the campaign yet). the only thing i think could be better is the multiplayer. only 8 people isn't as much fun as facing off 8 vs 8. i personally think the multiplayer is pretty good, BUT it has nothing compaired to games like halo 3 and call of duty 4. if you're just looking for something to keep youoccupied for a good while then this game is for you but if youre looking for a good mix of campaign and multiplayer then defenitly get halo or call of duty 4 but i still think this a good game to pick up.

Very fun to play, but lacking

I'll start by saying that I am a big Halo fan. Although a little short, this game was still pretty good. The online experience isn't that great either. I tried playing online for about a week before I got tired of being matched up with experts and routinely getting my butt whipped. I prefer to play against people of similar skill. This is a game that you should buy used.

Lots of Fun!

My Sister & I get together once every other month for a day/night of video game fun. We don't like the on line stuff or the "must have two TVs & system" stuff. We love the off-line shooter co-op games. We are over 30 and have such a great time shooting & figuring out puzzles within a game. Its more fun than just going around shooting stuff or at each other. Gears of War was a lot of fun to play and sometime challenging. If you are looking for a fun Off-line, co-op game, I suggest this game. We will definitely play this again. I hope this helps for someone who is looking for off-line games. I also suggest for X-Box 360; Rainbow Six Las Vegas 1 & 2! Have Fun!

Good not Great

really fun game but it has some hit detection issues, such as, the only way to get a head shot is with sniper rifle. It usually takes a clip and a half to kill someone from the assault rifle.

Very Good, not Great - I think I'm spoiled

Maybe I've been spoiled by the in-game story telling of Half-life, or Bioshock's writing, but Gears of War left me wanting more than I had hoped for. Maybe, for me, it was the victim of its own hype, but I had wanted more.

What I loved:
+The graphics are amazing
+Level Design is great (if linear, but I like that for games like this)
+Learning curve is great
+Multiplayer is awesome

Shortfalls
-Controls aren't perfect. More than once I've thought, "I wouldn't have died here with a mouse and keyboard." or even a second button instead of a universal, do all button.
-They steal the good bits from you. Why are all the cutscenes amazing? Why can't I play those parts instead of watching Dominic and the gang do them while I watch the screen? These parts REALLY made me miss Half-Life's storytelling style.
-Quibbly problems with autosave locations (really? I have to unblock that door up the stairs and down the long hallway AGAIN before running to the APC?)

Otherwise, great game that everyone should try. Borrow it from a friend and buy a copy if you like the first couple levels. The action is fast and intense and NOTHING beats that first chainsaw kill. One of the biggest thrills I've had in a game in a longtime after the first little sister in Bioshock.

great

This game alone is why Xbox 360 blows PS3 out of the water with performance and games. Gears of War is possibly the best game ever! Scary and addictive as hell!

Good game, just not as good as its cracked up to be.

Lets get the obvious out of the way, yes the game is overrated. With all of the hype and hope that went into this game, and with the responsibility of the beginning life of the 360 resting on its shoulders its going to be overrated. Ok, now for some actual reviewing. The graphics are gorgeous, although they did use some cheap tricks like pre-rendered backgrounds and only using three colors to make it look better than it really should, but it still gives the effect of looking good, which is all that really matters. The sound for the guns and explosions was good. For the life of me I can't even remember the music, which can't really be saying a good thing about it now can it? The storyline is kind of a ripoff of the two biggest shooters of our time. It is essentially Killzone meets Halo, but in all honesty its a shooter, story is nice to have, but is not a necessity. Plus these days, it is nearly impossible to come up with an idea that hasn't already been used. The action is pretty fun and the cover system works very well. There are some good deteriorating effects on the cover as well. The multi player is interesting at first, but gets boring fast. All in all I liked this game. If you want a solid, well put together shooter with nice graphics and a fun campaign, then I recommend you at least try it if you have a Xbox 360 or a good PC.

Just out there

Although it took some getting used to the playing format I reallly got into it. It took awhile to play on the easy level so I am excited about the harder levels on the game. You just have to play it to see for your self. I will definitly buy the next generation of this game.
