It's Gears of War, no introduction is needed. One of the most compelling/interesting video game stories I've had the privilege to experience. Great gameplay, acting, storytelling and atmosphere (with a lot of improvements). Gears has been doing what it's been doing since 2006 and hasn't failed once to disappoint. For those who haven't played a Gears of War game: Do not play this if you haven't played the first two yet as this is a story-driven game. They have a neat "Previously on Gears" feature as a way to catch up on what's going on. But that's more of a memory refresher than a complete rundown of the last two games. Trust me, you're going to want to play them before jumping into the 3rd game. It's the only way to feel apart of the story and therefore the best way to play it... the only way.Read full review

Game disk came with a lot of scratches compared to what was on the listing. Difficult thing to capture via camera but feel slightly deceived.

I'm a big fan of the series,so I'll do my best to provide an unbiased review.The plot was good ,but I felt that there was a little bit of disconnect with the plot during gameplay. It was easy to forget what your objective would accomplish. I like the gameplay more so I wasn't to bothered by this. I like that they brought back some of the weapons from previous titles. I mostly stick with the rifle attached with a chainsaw. It's much more fun using a chainsaw over a gun. They also did a good job of mixing in some new weapons with a good amount of variety. That have also incorporated a command system for NPCs,but I just stuck to letting them do their thing. You'll really enjoy this game if you are a fan of the series.
I bought this game because I am a huge fan of the previous installments in the series and I loved playing the second Gears of War of online. The game immediately exceeded my expectiations when I played my first online match. I love how fast and smooth it is. The cover system is just as great as it was in GoW2 and it feels more integrated. My favorite parts are the new weapons, particularly the new starting weapons, the retro lancer and the sawed-off shotgun. They add a lot of new play-styles, as does the Digger, a new power weapon that burrows underground to bypass cover and forces enemies to leave their entrenched spot or accept defeat. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is that the campaign is not on the same level that the last two were on. The first and second GoW constantly forced you to think and fight creatively, and presented many unique situations that the player had to fight their way out of. This campaign is not as well thought-out and is mostly a string of monotonous fire fights until the last two chapters. The story is also much less emotional than the second game. They didn't characterize very well and the new characters often felt pointless and stale. I still have no understanding of who Jace or Sam really are, and Dom's character does not act like her experienced the horrors that he did in the second game.Read full review
