Great, but not "Amazing"

User Rating: 8.5 | Gears of War X360
I begrudingly played this game because I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. I borrowed it off a friend for a few weeks, then thought "Damn, im buying this". Its is a very good game, definately worthy of being in everybody's collection, howvever, I dont think it is quite worthy of the 9.6 that gamespot have given it.

It has a well thought out, engaging storyline, moments that nearly made me **** my pants, an easy to use movement and weapon selection/use system, and the ability to play Co-op is very handy when you just cant be bothered trying that bit of the game again on your own.

The whole game just didnt quite do it for me. The control system can occasionally present a bit of trouble, when doing a superrun I get sent slightly off straight ahead, and end up hitting a wall, and then having a Locust that can kill me with her little finger come up and do exactly that.

As i have said before, it is well worth buying, but isnt my favourite game.
