Gameplay- Gears of war gameplay is pretty simple , you just cover , shoot take cover again heal and shoot again, something like that. Though this game does have some strategy into it such as flanking your opponent. Though there aren't enough weapons in this game, Epic could've made so much more weapons than the few they have now. The lancer is obviously a first since I've never seen a chainsaw gun in my life yet. Though there are some faults to the gameplay , i find myself sometimes getting into cover when i dont want to and sometimes they just won't cover at all. For example if I try to run by holding A sometimes i might just go cover on a side of a wall and die because thats the enemies side. Though the blood that splurts out when you use the chainsaw is very realistic. Though the difficulties aren't that hard and insane just isn't as hard as you may expect it to be.

Graphics-The graphics are just spectacular in this game. There is absolutely no difference from Cinematics and gameplay graphics. The armor on the Cogs and Locusts are also very detailed as well. The surroundings are just amazing like the ground, trees, buildings and each person is detailed very carefully.

Sound- The lancer attacking sounds very realistic , it has that pop to it when you shoot. The lightning that happens during one of the acts as well as the rain feels like it's actually happening. The classical music they put into this game seems to be a great fit for it when you're playing the single player campaign. Voices are also done pretty well as they're not at all cheesy.

Value- If you're a perfectionist then this game has plenty of replay value in collecting cog tags and beating the campaign different times in insane and as Dom. The multiplayer is always fun as well though there are only three different gametypes and execution and warzone are pretty much the same thing other than you dont die instantaneously in execution.

Tilt- The story is very well brought out into this game but some more into the campaign wouldn't hurt you know.

Other: Well the multiplayer system isn't the best. You can't get stats for when someone leaves the game and it has to be a 4v4 match up which really stinks.
