Gears of pwnage!

Hey readers!


For my first review i decided to do a 360 game almost all gamers have seen or heard of... Gears of war i also chose this game as it is hardcore and the sequel will be out soon (November)

This game has all the elements of a shooter, a range of weapons, a decent storyline, Beautiful envornments, good controls and online multiplayer =D





The game is set on the planet of Sera in either the present or future where humans live peacefully, until emergence day when a group of monsters, calling themselves the Locust attack from their underground tunnels, most humans are killed and very few survive, the surviving humans must fight these monsters that can attack almost anywhere at any time.


"You Play As Marcus Fenix and it's your job to kill, kill and kill some more!"


You play as one of the few COG soldier left, Marcus Fenix and you must get him through five acts alive- each with breathtaking environments, killing Locust in them all and a few bosses along the way.



The game has a "Control system" aswell that lets you command you men, however there are only 3 commands "Attack, Defend and Group up" so you don't get to retreat or anything XD

The game has a lot of violence and because of that has an 18 rating, but it's the only game you'l find where the gun has a chainsaw mounted on it, the sniper rifle can blow your head clean off or where you can rip people to shreads with one clean shotgun blast.




The online is awesome and has four modes, Warzone (two teams of 4 vs 4 duking it out), Execution (same as warzone but you can only kill by a close range execution, with a few exceptions *coughs* grenades) Assassination (each team has a leader and you must take them down and Annex (Gears' take on king of the hill) .There are also quite a lot of maps and several downloadable ones you can get for free from the marketplace.

The game features 3 difficulties, Casual, Hardcore and Insane. An Insane runthrough can be annoying and very time consuming but it's worth it when you can say "i beat gears on insane!"


The bosses are quite easy and once you've hurt them it becomes easy to take them down (exception of the final boss)


Closing Comments


Overall I'd say this is a must have for the 360 (if your over 18 that is) and is one of my favourite shooters ever. It utilises cover and has decent AI. Heres hoping Gears 2 is better in every way!

My Rating A*



Spartan 120 signing out!
