Although I was expecting this, I am now way overhyped for this game. Gears 3 is without doubt my most anticipated game ever, and after being awarded a 9.5, I really wanted to ask you guys what you think. Can you guys wait for this to hit on Tuesday? What are you doing until then?

IGN gave it a 9.0. which is interesting since IGN always reviews their games higher than GS.

I'm not shocked, the Gears series has always been solid IMO. It's the main reason I bought a 360 back in 2006.

I knew from the start it was going to get a high review, but I'm excited nonetheless. Too bad I don't have any money :(

That's not gonna happen for a looooong time. Probably not for a year or more. Go ahead and spend the money, it's worth it.

Not surprised......this game was never going to get anything lower than an 8.0 really........the production values in the first 2 were so high and they obviously know never to change a winning formula.....

I mean imagine if it got like a 4.0 or something...ha ha

9.5 is pretty high - especially as it is the third in the series - and we all knew pretty much what to expect - although of course it is only someones opinion

I will probably wait a bit before getting it - too many games to finish first

I got the game a little early, and I'm really liking it so far. It's pretty much all new enemy types so far in multiplayer, and so it feels brand new. Story is interesting too. I can't really judge multiplayer yet, because there's not that many people playing. But if you liked the beta stuff, you'll like this. If you want to know more, I made a quick unboxing video of the epic edition, which I got today. Watch it if you feel like it, but I'm not trying to be spammy, so don't feel pressure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reYMp4oobwk I'm hoping I can finish the game this weekend, then be ready to jump into my friends' co-op games next week, SHOW THEM HOW IT'S DONE.

I knew it would score high but the reviews haven't really hyped me up anymore than I already am. I just don't think that's possible. Have the Limited Edition Console waiting for me at midnight and then possibly taking the next 2 days off work.

After playing Gears of War 2 this is not hard to believe. I wont be able to play the game on Tuesday because I just ordered a new Panasonic Plasma S30 46" and it will arrive on Thursday. I refuse to start the game on my CRT when I have epic awesomeness coming soon. I pre ordered my copy from Amazon and get the $20 game credit for doing so, basically got my copy of Gears of War 3 for $40.

Cant wait till tuesday aswell, gears is the saga that kept me holding off to selling my xbox, and im thankful for it, IDK about you guys, but I like gears way more than halo!! (tough I play halo a lot aswell). My friend over at gamerush tells me they already have the games in stock and since he is the manager I might be able to pick up my copy as early as the 19th at 3 pm, so I cant seriousy wait!

I always knew this game would get a scored like a 9.5. The game is just pure awesomeness. I have loved the games since they first came out in 2006. I still can't believe it's been 5 years since Kim got killed by RAAM:cry:. I am really going to miss the games. I should get mine on Monday, so until then i'm probably going to just play Dead island or something.

It's just the end of this story, and group of characters. As long as people want 'em, Epic will keep making 'em. I'm looking forward to the next story. There's a rumor Gears 4 will be a launch game for the new console.

IGN gave it a 9.0. which is interesting since IGN always reviews their games higher than GS.

IGN doesn't know how to review nor rate games, correctly.

Oh right, misread that one, makes more sense, although pretty random to talk about gta4 and mgs in a gears thread :P so that's what confuzzled me.

So pumped! There's so many great titles coming out this is just the beginning. From the looks of it Gears 3 deserves the 9.5, i will have to wait and play it and see if it's deserving. I have always loved the Gears series and this is just the icing on the cake!

Considering game scores nowadays a 9.5 is damn impressive. I've had faith in this game since the time it was released, I mean, why else would I have spent and already paid off 164$ for the Epic Edition and actually gotten level 100 in Gears 2 without XP events?
