Pros
+ Intense & Highly Addictive!!!
+ More than just a shooter (taking cover, survival horror elements, & squad combat all rolled into one).
+ Really feels like you are doomed to extinction in a war-torn world.
+ Gorgeous graphics + Great Controls + Online Multiplayer = Months & Months of Happy Gaming
+ Awesome co-op play.
+ Great effects & satisfying melee attacks.
+ Awesome enemies & you can play as most of them in multiplayer.
Cons
- Not a lot of vehicles & no vehicles at all in multiplayer.
- Online needs work (getting into matches, hosting matches, other people can ruin the experience before you even get to playing). Maps have few weapons and racing to the weapons is a chore.
- Host advantage, the same fault that 'Halo 2' suffered from.
- Sniper rifle is only single shot. Do semi-automatics not exist in the future?
Comments
Gears of War is a great game. It still needs some work as far as the online goes. Host advantage is getting old & just plain unfair. This game is one of the most intense games I've ever played. I can't begin to tell you how much fun it is. Just be quiet or the Beserker might here you!!!
Verdict
A real must have for your collection. This may even make you stop playing Halo until part 3 comes out!!!
