Great graphics, great story, great characters, great environment, great level design, great voice acting, interesting enemy concept, nice controls (I only wish the "cover" button could be switched off of toggle, to a hold configuration. Sometimes you can get "stuck" on things), great online gaming, overall a great experience.

Plain all around fun, innovative, engaging, and robust.

At this point, 466 reviews later, I can't really add too much that hasn't been already covered.

I'll just keep it simple: If you are into shooters, this may be a good game for you. It's got a unique take on a cover system -- arcadey but still useful. You certainly traverse a battlefield in a completely different manner than most games. You go from cover to cover, you try to get to the flanks whenever possible -- it really makes the battlefield environment feel three dimensional and real.

The graphics are pretty good, but there isn't alot of variety within a level. Honestly, that isn't too big of a deal as you'll be trying to spot cover and taking down enemies. There is a fair mix of cinematics and action, and while the story writing (dialog, voice acting, etc) isn't of the highest quality I didn't find that it detracted from the game.

I didn't really like the multi-player stuff, but many people did. I found the maps too small, for starters, and I found that the cover system hindered my ability to succeed. The roadie-run-shotgun-melee-smash was pretty much the prevailing tactic. I didn't really factor this into my rating because I didn't buy it for the multi-player action _at all_. For me, single player and co-op (and co-op is where it really shines) is what I was after. The co-op stuff, both split screen and online, are absolutely the way to play the game. If you are buying the game solely for multi-player then my review may not be helpful.

The only major detractor I can come up with is the checkpoint system is a bit brutal, and having to sit through the "lead-in cinematics" without being able to skip through them, reload after reload, is a bit obnoxious.

Overall I thought the game was well worth the money spent. It has a bit of everything, and does a bit of everything. It's a very pulpy actiony arcade third person shooter -- and while not perfect, it certainly delivers on the entertainment front. If you buy video games to have a good time, and to be entertained then I don't see how you could miss with this title.

A great time

We have played several of this type of game and really enjoyed playing this one. Matter of fact, we played it more than once which is pretty unusual for us. The cut scenes were very good, the play action, easy to learn operation. Not too long, we thought it was a good length and lots of action. Language is not overly 'rugged'. I think people who enjoy this type of game will really enjoy this one. Two people can play as easily as one...not a problem.
Very enjoyable and we are excited for 'Gears of War 2' to be released.Gears of War 2. Check it out!

Exciting

Love this game. I actually dont play it, my husband does. But i find that this is a game that is not only fun to play(my husband is addicted) it is also fun to watch. Its like an interactive movie. You never get bored. So wives looking for a gift for your husbands, this is a good one.

Great action filled TPS!

I had lots of fun playing this game. If you think about it, the game is repetitive: Enemies spawn, you kill them and move on to the next location, rinse and repeat. But the action is so great, and the control is so tight that you dont want to stop doing the same thing over and over again. Best TPS I've played, better than Uncharted.
