As you all may know Gears of War is being released from the 7th to the 12th. For me, this is a huge topic because I've waiting for this game forever.
In my area the game was released today to people who pre-ordered and I must say...
THIS GAME IS SICK!!!
The game is totally badass and has serious potential to become a series.
The graphics.... Dude, I thought I knew good graphics, but this game blows them away. The detail is tremendous and everything is completely integrated and fluid. The graphics are so good, its even better than looking as shit in real life. The Unreal Engine 3.0 really has set the bar to a infinite height.
The game is easy to get the hang of and play, but it will take a really long time and alot of hours to completely master it.
Not only does the game boast a single-player with 3 difficulties, casual(obvious reasons), hardcore and insane(it has been recommended by the game developers to play hardcore and insane on co-op). It also has split screen co-op, hosted co-op and find a co-op, a versus mode and other shit that I haven't even explored yet.
On top of that the game has an achievements section where it gives you things to aim for with-in the game.
There are also several references to black hawk down and other military escapades.
The only thing that irks me is there is practically no information on the story other than a little bit of marcus' past, but I have a feeling more will be released in downloadable stuff and more games from the franchise.
If you have any questions about the game, please shoot em over and I'll try my best to reply as accurately as possible.
9.9/10
