Not needed for this game but thought would post it
. Now what epic has done is created quite simply a masterpiece and I game that will go down as a instant classic and it’s the killer app that the 360 has been waiting for 1 year. The key to gears of war is all about the new cover system. Basically you’re gonna be able to attach yourself to any wall any tree. You will be able to stop take cover and pop and kill the locust horde. The great thing about this stop and pop gameplay as epic calls it is that you really have to use what we like to refer to as fast tactics you’re gonna use flinking maneuvers with your 4 man squad you’re gonna try and get behind the sides of the locust and from behind cover you’re gonna stop and look up for just a split second get of a few rounds and then get back in cover because on harder difficulty levels few seconds out of cover and those locust are gonna hit you with a headshot then you’re gonna go down. Personally I recommend ditching the casual difficulty level altogether . it’s a bit too easy not even gonna take you a day to complete it. Even though there is a bit of challenge down the line at the final stages. The hardcore is a great place to start out because from the very first map you’re gonna feel a challenge as you work your way through the planet sera. Now the great thing about gears of war is that they really created a fantastic atmosphere on the planet sera and in all the different environments you’re gonna see. You’re gonna start out on the bombed out ruins of the city and the architecture is just awesome. Its all greek and roman inspired temples and its really a great game even just to look at. At first youre just gonna be looking at the buildings the graphics are just fantastic. Then you’re gonna move through village at nightfall and its spooky its kind of a survival horror map. Then youre gonna go through glowing mines, you are even gonna get in a mine cart and a speeding train. This game has tons of great looking environments and all feel distinctly different from each other. My personal favourte aspect of gears of war is co-operative play be it split screen locally or on xbox live you can play 2 player co-op missions all the way through the single player campaign and its really as if epic designed the game to be a co-op game and on the single player mission its just that the computer controls your co-op department . the thing about co-op is you’re gonna work your way through the map, you’re gonna be able to revive each other when some ones down. You’re gonna be able to go through these basic tactical maneuvers together and its tremendous fun. I even like it better than the co-op play on halo and halo2. Now the versus multiplayer on xbox live and system connect is pretty great. Its basically a team death match , last man standing. Its only a 4 on 4 and the maps are pretty small but the action is tight and you really have to work as a team in order to win and I have had some great moments when I jumped up from my screen screaming because I chainsawed somebody and then they chainsaw me right back and another enemy sneaks up behind me so you’re gonna have plenty of fun playing multiplayer. The only problem with it is there is only that basic mode. There is also a kill the leader mode. There is another mode called execution in which they have to come up and chainsaw you in order to finish the job.
Basically it’s a team death match and its 4 on 4 . would have liked to see some capture the flag and original 8 death match .
In the end though gears of war is obviously a instant classic and it has already got the game of the year award although the campaign is relatively short the 3 difficuly levels make for an awesome challenge . I think beating this game on insane difficulty is gonna be right up there like beating halo on legendary. Its gonna be a beat your gonna tell you friends about and will be really excited about. Gears of war doesn’t go too deep into the story or on fenix or on planet sera but you can tell that epic has created this great atmosphere and there is gonna be sequel after sequel and there will probably be a movie . its gonna be a huge franchise and is definitely a killer app and a must buy for the 360
