Finally, a game in which the true potential of the 360 comes to life with vivid detail and gore
The single player campaign is not as long as an RPG, but for a shooter of this caliber, the average time to complete it is about 7-10 hours of gameplay. There are 3 modes (normal, hard, and insane) in which you can complete the single player campaign and each one is more difficult to complete than the other.
The Multiplayer is what attracts people to the game. WIth 3 modes of Live play (warzone, assassination, and execution), the gameplay just gets better every time you play it. Unfortunately, there are no games like capture the flag and king of the hill in Gears of War. The multiplayer features up to 8 players, 2 teams of 4, in which you try and kill off the opposition. The 3 games are pretty much one of the same, just different style of play, for instance group play or individual point scores. The Graphics are absolutely stunning. I only have an EDTV (480p) as of right now, but I am getting a 40" Sony right after the holidays to bring out every detail of the game. From the water ways on the ground to the rust on the buildings, you can clearly see the little things that bring out the environment in Gears of War.
Gears of War is the first game of the 360 lineup which features many different aspects of the console. It can show what the 360 can generate graphically and gameplay as well. I highly recomend this game for 360 owners.
