Ok I usually don't review games but I could not help myself here. You have got to be kiddin me here. The visuals are great and the cutscenes are great.

Make a Gears movie or hope they do because I feel like I'm watching one more than anything. I just dont feel that my charecter has complete control of the action and the fighting. Really surprised that so many gamers and reviewer's don't mention this. I would never buy a Gears game again. Rent it in my opnion. You won't. It's media and Gamestop hype, but realize your money is better off on other games out and i'm sure coming out.
If you are Gears fan, or not, you will love this game. It's full of content and easter eggs waiting for you to find, the campaign is expertly paced, and much less linear than Gears 2, you could easily sink 15 hours or mo... Read Full Review
