The Goods:
Gear of War not much can be said but that. With this release of the most anticipated title for the xbox besides halo 3. All is good from the Campaign to the Multiplayer. The game plays alot like the old game but with subtle differences. like the cover system has been changed and can also be mobile via shield. Chainsaw duels are a great addition to the already great game play. I found myself wrapped up into the story like a housewife watching daytime soaps. It is really addictive. The Add-on of Dominic’s wife was great and created tension in between Marcus and Dom. By the end you find out that dom and Marcus are really good friends.
Multiplayer:
Is Mind numbing. With so many additions like horde and meatflag. who could go wrong? Meatflag is a treat. Imagine a flag that yells and shoots you and you have to injure him to carry him to the flag point. Genius. Horde, Grab five of your buddies and go through fifty that’s right fifty waves of ever increasing difficult rabid locusts. The leveling system in horde is great and if you stop playing you can pick up where you let off.
Graphics:
The Best looking game on the 360 to date. The use of textures and lighting make this game look great! Moments in the game though you were wondering. “Was this compressed to save space?” Because some textures look a lil out of place. But, without looking for it you wont even notice.
Sound:
Great!! The Score is wonderful and run seamlessly with game play. Expect a kick ass song while your cutting down locusts with the Mulcher.
In the end:
Must get/play game on the xbox 360! I loved the story just as much as the Multiplayer. It is really hard to go back to the campaign after you play campaign then Multiplayer because the Multiplayer is so good!
5/5 – Buy it
