Ok ok,i have come crawling back to the 360 after forsakeing it for another that Tottaly Let me down (i wont say wicth).

And all i heard about is this Gears of War, what is it all about

What im looking for:
-is it any good?
-What is the Single player like?
-I what is the Live play like?
and anything else you can tell me.

Its it like GRAW, Becuase i hate GRAW, but my major beefs with it are:
Its hard to tell at a glance who is friend or foe online (But GoW i hear the differance is Noticable between teams)
Stupid Hosting System 9Is GoW and Differnat?

Any help?, Thank you

Gears has a short but satisfying single player with great co-op capabilities. The online is almost lag free as far as my experience goes. Gears is a game you should definitely look into. An intense experience online.

This thread is totally suspect, especially considering that the TC made another thread talking about how Gears sucks, then he admits here to not having even played it.  I think we have a troll in our midst...

Since some people don't understand POV, I'll tell you myself.  Gears is a great game.  I hear all the time that it's too short and indeed it is a short if you play it on the easiest mode.  Start off in Hardcore (second hardest setting) You'll get more value in it.  The style is awesome, you look for ways to hide behind things, gameplay is fantastic and the graphics are unequivical. 

In terms of online, it's also great.  Characters are easily distinguishable, short, quick, and right to the point.  It's also very fast to get connected to a rank match, unlike another game that I won't bother to mention. 

In short, you have to like these types of games.  It scored very well with any gaming site you'll find, won plenty of awards, including best game.  If you have any doubts, rent it.  At blockbuster in Canada you can rent a game for 30 days without them charging you.  (except the re-stocking fee lol).  I hope this helps.

I have always loved sci-fi and shooters. I am average, at best, on them. I love GOW because I can play it! The single campaign is good (a lot more interesting if you co-op on-line, and simpler on hardcore or insane difficulties). If you play the campaign by yourself for an act or two, and get the hang of it, you may want to try a harder difficulty on-line co-op. If you like completing achievements it will help you complete a lot of them without having to go back and replay the story, over and over as I had. On-line MP is addicting! I can play until my contact lenses get stuck under my eyelids! I play a lot of ranked to get achievements, but when you want to have a blast, player matches with a group of friends is the way to go!

Single player is fun. Some think it is short. I think it is a good length with the difficulty settings on Hardcore or Insane. Campaign co-op if fun, especially on insane. A lot of really great moments and cut scenes throughout. Lots of action The multiplayer is awesome if you like fast paced, round based action. It is easy to tell the difference between teams. Every player starts out with the same weapons. Starting ammo is more than enough to last a round. Special weapons are placed in the map that you can choose to swap with (usually in high risk or central areas). Recycle time is significant so you don't have to worry about everyone on the other team grabbing sniper rifles. usually one player on a team will take control the more powerful weapons, if they can win the battle for it. You can revive downed players on your team as long as they have not been executed via the various ways to murder somebody while they grovel after you have taken them down. In both single and multiplayer you need to balance cover and open exposure fire. Standing out in the open all round will most certainly get you wasted quick, most likely by a sniping head shot. Teamwork is key as most lone players who go it alone and don't talk die first. Obviously the graphics are amazing. The speed is perfect and like previously stated in another post, mostly lag free. The gore is great and highly entertaining. The blood looks wet as do the insides of the deceased. Bodies dismantle correctly based on where you hit them with shotgun blasts and slide apart nicely from a swipe of the chainsaw. Also the environments are very detailed and have nice effects in them. Know though, that for the most part they are not destructible. There are various pieces of furniture and certain bombed out cars that can be dismantled with fire. There is no in game music unless something important happens. It is not a problem because you can use your media player to play music that you want to listen to during the game. The sound effects are great and with a surround sound system you will be able to hear people sneaking up behind you, chasing you, or locate distant fire easily. Very handy if you are trying to outrun someone and you need to know if they are still there or not. Similarites to GRAW are minor and there are so many unique aspects to this game that you wont even think about GRAW. I am not sure what your exact taste in games is, but if you like action games I think you will have a blast with this one for a long long time.
