Platform: XBox 360  |  Category: Action and Shooter
Maker: Microsoft  |  Released: 16/11/2006

In a nutshell:One of the most highly rated games of E3, Gears of War is looking likely to be the Xbox 360?s Christmas blockbuster with the best graphics yet seen on the system and a tactical twist on the usual shoot ?em-up gameplay.The lowdown:With Halo still at least a year out this is currently the Xbox 360?s premier exclusive shoot ?em-up. Using a third person, over the shoulder, view rather than the usual first person viewpoint the game emphasis the importance of cover and tactics rather than just running and gunning. The question of cover becomes particularly important given the impressively destructible environments you fight in, which create a constantly shifting battlefield for you to navigate. As you?d expect the game also contains an extensive suite of multiplayer and co-op modes for play over Xbox Live.Most exciting moment:The graphics are stunning, nearly photorealistic, but the greatest guilty pleasure in the game so far is the "chainsaw bayonet" and the OTT spurt of gore... Read More

PS3 Gears of War takes the Xbox 360 into a league of its own. Gears of a war is a must have game that depends on you to save the world from the locust horde. Either single player or co op, the game transports you to the world of Markus Fenix and partner Dominc Greene. The games cover system will mean you will use every wall, every object to take cover and if you don't enjoy the tactical side then your gun does always have a chain saw which you can use on your enemy and you could do that all day long.

Playing this game for the first time, was stunning. The game had a clever system which was the cover system. It is probably the best game out there with a cover system for a shooting game. The story mode is good and is short but will last longer if you put it in the hardest difficulty (insane). This game has a 2 co-op so you can play with a friend and supports online play. The graphics are extremely good and its a near perfect game but had some flaws. The online gameplay can lag due to the host which is hosting the game instead of using Pc dedicated servers. Weapons are limited and this game should be in your xbox 360 collection. The sequel will come out in november and hopefully will improve the game to be a perfect game and will be the game of the year.
