Is Gears Of War Really THAT GOOD COME ON!!

The only reason why I bought the damn game was because everyone was raving about how good it was. And til this dam I can't really play it more than 5 minutes on single player and 30- seconds online. This gameis OK but is not nothing to rave about when it comes to gameplay, graphics are amazing but nothing else. I hape playing games where it takes 50 million bullets to take down one opponent its retarded. The only reason why people say it's so good is because we hear everyone else say it.

come on this game is good but no 9.2 or anything in that range it's like a 8 8.5 at max.

what u guys think ( and please keep it civilized)

Everybody liked it because it was overhyped and everyone wanted to be cool and say it was good. Also it had good graphics...Carbon_

lol, your quote is funny. I don't know what the rental period where he lives is, but beating mass effect and bioshock in a rental period is a bit of a stretch.

The game is good, but it is no 9,6. I think a lot of people got carried away by its amazing atmosphere and insane graphics. It got some flaws. The driving seen with those black clouds that attack you (can`t remember their name) was horrible and the core gameplay gets a bit repetetive.

GoW is a game you should try/have if you have a 360, but in my opinion Rainbow Six: Vegas is the better game of the two, it does the cover/shoot better than GoW.

It's one of the greatest games I've played, seriously, but that's just me. The multiplayer really fun, but if you are new you probably won't have fun untill you get better. If you complain about bullet lag, just host. If you don't like host advantage, you host and you will have it. It's kind of easy, even on Insane ( my friend and I went through Insane in 2 days) so it could have been a little longer and more difficult, but I really like the game.

Everyone has their own opinion, whoever reviewed it at gamespot really liked it, doesn't mean you have to.

Vegas is way better than Gears in alost everyway possible except for graphics...
Graphics don't make a game, they make Transformers...

No late fees when you Gamefly. :| Also, I never said I wasn't buying BioShock....

Also, Gears of War is amazing, just not my type of game.

you, my friend, are a drunk

EDIT: You're entitled to your own opinion.

Did anyone else think that the Locust were a hell of a lot of fun to take down? One of the biggest things that I loved about Gears was that they weren't easy to kill... so when you entered a room or a courtyard where there was a mixture of several Locust taking cover and trying to flank you, you had to be on your toes. It wasn't a simple run-and-gun shooter... the enemies were tough, used tactics, and made the game a lot more enjoyable.

Personally, I think that Gears of War is one of the best games ever made... definitly not the most memorable, but one of the most solid games from a development stand-point. It was terrific.

yah but ur squad mates A.I. is probably the worst i have ever seen in a game...besides tenchu z of course..

Im gonna write a review up for gears of wars and maybe you people will enjoy it.

I personally believe that Gears of War is one of the best games ever made but only for the single player or coop campaign. Every game has its flaws and in GoW it seemed to be more in the multiplayer side of it. Of course that in the campaign your team's AI was ridiculously terrible but that doesn't stop you from having a good time. The only problems that really occur because of that is instances where they need you to do something while they're supposed to cover you... but because their AI is so bad they don't do a very good job of it. At least those moments are few and far apart.

As for the multiplayer; I'm glad they fixed a lot of the bugs with the patch they released not too long ago. Of course it's still got bugs. The multiplayer is fun, but nothing I could spend hours on and the main fault is the bugs.

Overall the cover system could have been a lot better as well. Using the same button to roll as covering was a horrible idea on their part. I can't tell you how many times I've died in multiplayer because I've tried to roll out of the way but since there is a wall right next to me it decides to take cover... when the person is on that side of the wall shooting me. It's not so bad in single player because there are fewer moments where that type of stuff happens. If I remember right, the bumpers don't serve any purpose in the multiplayer do they? Or even in the normal game since commanding your team mates seems to be fairly useless with their poor AI. I mean, they could have used one of those bumpers for rolling like PDZ did.

Oh well, enough bashing the game for me, most of these complaints are about relatively small aspects but they're present just enough sometimes to make you want to kill whoever was responsible for shipping the game in this state.

The game is a bit odd. Like, when I first bought it, I loved playing it everyday for about 3-4 months. Then, the game started to get a bit bland....so I stopped. Then I tried R6:V. It was OK, but it was NO Gears killer. So then I came back to Gears :D

The game is a blast if you're actually GOOD in the Multi department, and if you have a lot of friends to play it with.

some games just have different styles if you want a really realistic shooter where it takes only 1-2 bullets to kill someone then go play graw of graw2

Finally some one who i agree with gears of war sucked and a big disappointment and all the fanboys have to say its good so i say fanboys stop being fanboy like a game if its good not if its a game on xbox or ps3 or wii

GoW is a game you should try/have if you have a 360, but in my opinion Rainbow Six: Vegas is the better game of the two, it does the cover/shoot better than GoW.

Vegas does cover/shoot better than any other game ever. Games with a cover system need to just blatantly copy Vegas' cover system, because it's pretty much flawless. And everyone steals from everyone else in the gaming business, right? I was actually annoyed when GRAW 2 came out and it didn't have a flexible Vegas-like cover system.

By the way, Vegas is like the one game I have never heard ANYBODY call overrated or even less than good. It seems like everybody likes that game. And there's a reason for that.

I think Gears is a pretty good game, but the hype is what kept me away from it for so long. Its a solid AAA, but 9.6 is generous. Of course, I feel the same way about Oblivion.

Its a fun game and I'm glad I got it. I'd give it a 9 if I reviewed it.

dude. i 100% agree with you! the game is very pretty but has no real depth

It's a good game but it's overrated in my eyes. Single player is fun, but gets repetitive and it's too short. Multiplayer was fun for a bit but once again I quit, cus I can't stand most of Gears' online community.

I prefer vegas, personally:)
