Well, after playing GoW for about an hour, I have to say this game SUCKS! Where can I start? First of all, I failed to mention above the reason why I only played an hour: I nodded off and awoke with slobber running down my chin...

Here's an unbiased overview of the game and its inner workings:

Stunning Graphics? Well if you like monotones, I guess, The characters were not what I would call vivid or realistic; environments definitely did not look like real environments. In addition on my set I had a squashed aspect ratio that made the game just look crappy.

No health meter; This is simple, I've been playing FPS's for years, it appears this games developer is on an island, and totally forgot to include one. Somebody send a rescue helicopter to get these guys and bring them back to reality!

A.I. problems: Well to make a long story short, these guys are stupid, they die constantly (Dom comes to mind), or should I call him Dumb? Seems to fit better!

Controls -- you knew I was getting to that didn't you? Well wait no more, the controls in this game suck, I had to keep zooming in to really do any damage to enemies, which left me vulnerable to attacks. Of course with no health meter, you know where I'm going right? One word sum up: SUCKS.

The overall game seems to be tailored to the kiddies, it seems like a very kid oriented game. I would recommend this to parents looking for a game to keep the kiddies giggling for hours, but not for the serious mature gamer.

Well, going back to me nodding off, it was some good sleep, if you're looking for an alternative to sleeping pills, look no further and purchase this game.

If your looking for a compelling, FPS, check out some really good games like Resident Evil 4 or Resistance: Fall of Man.

OK WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PEOPLE WHO GAVE THIS 5 STARS?

THIS IS POSSILBY THE MOST BORING GAME IVE PLAYED IN A WHILE. It sucks people, all you do basically is run and hide for cover while you use all of your ammo to kill one enemy (the locust horde) you shoot these things at least 50 times before they actually die. The night I bought this I played for and hour trying to get into it, but it was just boring, i was so excited to play it because everyone had been pumping it up and giving it great reviews, but to my dissapointment, it was really bad. What is wrong with these games now a days? They're all the same, nothing is stand out or extremely original. GRAW exceeds way above this game and Gear of War won game of the year? I have no idea how, the graphics are nice but overall the gameplay is dull and its just a boring game, after one night, i took it to the neighborhood eb games and traded it for store credit, that was the fastest ive ever gotten rid of a game, if your gonna buy it, wait until its 20 dollars then it might be worth it.

Just Me or Does This Game Suck??

I don't get all the outstanding reviews here. The game is repetitive as hell and also annoying. I got so sick of constantly filling holes and annoying, annoying monster enemies that are always the same. Every room, every level on this game is the same. I did enjoy the Hammer of Dawn thing.. that was a cool concept, but overall I wouldn't buy this one.

Now, before all you fanboys add your comments to my review, ask yourself why a game like Halo 1 or 2 was/were so popular? A: Because they had many different environments, enemies, etc. This game is the same dreary, boring stuff, colors, scenes, environments beginning to end. Plus.. if you knew these damn kryll (or whatever they're called) would kill you when you drive out...why drive a vehicle with no roof? Why not slap armour plates on the thing and let them bang into the roof all they want. What? Am I supposed to believe they can pierce armour? Dumb game.

Resistance for the PS3 blows away Gears of War. Here is why:

When you play the two games you come to realize how low Gears of War is compared to the pontential of Resistance. I play Gears of War the day it was release day. Sure, the game was okay. I did enjoy the Co-op. But the gameplay and multiplayer doesn't even match the capacity of Resistance fall of man. 40 players vs 8 players online? Come on that's weak. I personally just finish the game and was in line friday getting my PS3.

Gears of War is too short. If you don't duck and cover you die pretty quick. That's just weak for a FPS. The games glitches are bad.

This is really bad for M$. Don't be fooled by the hype behind Gears of War.

Borrriiiiiiinnnnggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!

This could have been a great game but it just places too much emphasis on gore. I don't really need a chainsaw weapon to have fun and the gore really ruins the fun of this game. This could have been the next Halo but the designers lost their way when they pandered to the small percentage of gamers who feel they need graphic violence to have fun.

Gears of War -----GAY

I don't like the graphics, so much publicity but the game doesn't have any great, the movements are very slowly and complicate, I prefer Ghost Recon.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME!!!!!

I am NOT crazy! This game is faulty! After playing it for only TWO days, my 360 refused to read the disc. My xbox 360 had nothing to do with it, it is brand new and in perfect condition, I purchased the console three days ago.

The game disc is faulty, It had absolutely NO SCRATCHES OR MARKS! Many people have reported this problem. The gameplay is great but the disc is somehow faulty. Either rent this game or buy it from a brick and mortar store so you can return it easily should this problem happen to you.

Do Not Buy this game online, you will be very annoyed when you have to go through the hassle of returning it.

I assure you, I am not a crazy person. If you don't believe me, google the terms "Gears of war Disc read error" and you will find that many other gamers have had this happen to them.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

way over-rated

gears of wars has way too much hype, being microsoft's only major shooter for xbox 360 so they marketed it ad infinitum. Graphics are awesome... gameplay is tedious and mediore
