I was a bit disappointed in the ol' Gears to be honest, perhaps my expectations were too high. The environment was very linear, the gameplay felt a bit shallow with rinse & repeat tactics that became noticeably repetitive.
I only played the campaign, though admittedly, COOP through the campaign is a great feature! In addition, perhaps there's more to love if multiplayer is taken under consideration (I play precious few games in MP, primarily an SP gamer).
TBH, I played Gears around the same time as TimeShift (both on PC) and what I find boggling is how Gears is considered so much of a better game. To me anyway, they had a very similar level of quality and feel. One uses cover and the other a time manipulation mechanic obviously, but I'd still consider them nearly par with one another.
To point out faults and/or personal preferences does not necessarily mean a game has no merit though. See the 7/10 kozzy rated the game? I could likely go along with that 8)
