I have never played online, just single player. But gears of war(to me) is not the god like addicting game that people proclaim it to be. It is very fun. I love sawing people in half. But it gets old fairly quickly. I played twice and struggled to finish the second time.

The single player is great but short, and fairly easy, even on Insane..  I got way more enjoyment from the Co op then the online.. My opinion the online is really not good at all.. No modes or features bores the heck out of me.. All anyone does is shotgun and chainsaw.. The community is filled with morons as well.. I never use my mic when I play Gears online, but I hardly play it anyway.. All and alll the game is overrated and over hyped.. Epic did a well job in hyping the game..  Honestly Gears does nothing that hasn't been done before..  Just outstanding graphics..

what recon said some are true and some i disagree with. yeah there are morons online, lots of racial slurs and yo momma stuff thrown around. online is fun though. i admit i got frustrated with it my first try and it's nerve racking at first cuz you have no clue what to do. trust me the game online is REALLY fun if you find the right people to play with. so just keep at it cuz i was in the same situation as you. i hated the online, it bored me and i love chainsawing people but i found around 8 people i regularly play with and it's really fun.

No. It's got an attractive and somewhat enjoyable, if not entirely original, single player mode that will last a maximum of 10 hours, more likely less. The multiplayer is repetitive, a little broken and what COULD be salvaged has been completely obliterated by an online community that makes Halo 2's look like a MENSA meeting.

Ive had it a week and i still enjoy it, I see what everyone means about annoyin people online but in player matches with other people from the UK its not bad, maybe there's more annoying little kids playing over there than here, I only get annoyed with people in ranked matches.

SP isn't THAT short if you play through 2-3 times and try to collect all cog tags but you defo need live to get the most out of it.

buy the game and try it for yourself. i have had it since january and i still play it. as far as it comes to annoying ppl... if they annoy you then just turn down your mic. you dont have to listen to ppl if you dont want to.

It does get a little boring. It's not as replayable as like Halo2.

Every game will have annoying morons and racial slurs.  I have had the game since it came out and still play it with my brothers and friends. It has its problems but so does every game.  So far, its the best for the 360, I highly recommend it.

I found the single player to be very fun, but like most too short. I played through it twice solo, normal than hardcore. My favorite part of the game is online co-op. I've gone through it on co-op quite a few times with different people on XBL. I dont care much for the other multiplayer aspects of the game, I actually found them to be boring. I liked the campaign and as far as XBL goes online co-op campaign was a blast. I too dont think its the holy graile as most prclaim it to be, but to each his own. Everyone has there own opinions.

Beautiful to look at, fun in campaign mode and terrible online.  It has been way overhyped... I give it a 8.3.

Gears of war besides halo 2 is the only other xbox game I got addicted to online.

Amazing graphical presentation throughout the game, online has its problems but is still an enjoyable experience. Really enjoyed single player, and the co-op over xbox live makes it a superb game to play. A must have for xbox 360 owners

Personally, I'm not into all the hype. In my opinion I'd say take your money and buy R6. Hell of a better game with a better online community

To be honest, outside of the single player co-op it's not all that great. It dies out pretty quickly though. I wish I would have rented it instead of buying it. Still an awesome game though all around.

Kind of, It is a very good game. But not the best game of all time.
