This game is one of the best the Xbox has to offer, With such gorgeous Visuals and fun gameplay that it's nearly a masterpiece, here's why this game is the Xbox's killer-app.
The story is forgettable and simplistic but not awful, the game follows Marcus Fenix, a Heavy armored man With his crew must stop the Locust horde from taking over humanity and the planet Sera, With their guns and strongness, they must defeat Raam, the leader of the Locust, to stop the Madness.
The game is a third-person-shooter With a cover system-based gameplay, you play as Fenix who must cover his way through the Locust and kill every one in sight, the cover system is very good, it Works perfectly. The guns are very varied, even though they have similarities, they have a good selection, the Lancer is the highlight, it's chainsaw bayonet and damage makes it a useful but brutal weapon, in the game, you find COG tags scattered through each Level, while tricky is still rewarding.
The Graphics still hold up to this day, detail and textures are all wonderful, the Controls are good as well, you use RT to shoot and you know the rest from there, the sound is brilliantly designed and one of the best in a 2006 game.
The downsides is the game's length, it only has 5 Levels, despite it's long Levels, the game doesn't have a significant amount of Challenge, the multiplayer maps are small but the multiplayer is enjoyable at best. I wish the Hammer of Dawn was used more in the game. The story is tedious and the game doesn't deliver anything New to the core gameplay of this game.
Gears of War is a spectacular game and a killer-app for the Xbox 360, Graphics, gameplay, Controls, sound and multiplayer is great despite map design issues, story is forgettable and short campaign, this game should not be overlooked 10/10
