GEARS OF WAR: 9.7 Superb
What should I say, this is one of the best games I have played on the XBox360 to date. The graphics are nothing short of amazing, the detail they have put into the characters and the environment really gets you into the intense action either while playing campaign mode or online.
Gameplay: You couldn’t ask more for the Gameplay, the sound is excellent of the weapons. The chainsaw on the machine-gun is gruesome, blood splatters all over the screen and the camera angles in on the dead soldier. It takes a bit to kill the enemy because on the sheer amount of armor they are wearing but when you become better at the game you can take them down a lot quicker by shooting them in the face. When the locust are wounded they lay on the ground for a bit, this is where you can shoot them dead or walk up next to their body and press X, which will stomp on the locust’s head. While playing online it is best to go around in groups of two. This means that if your teammate gets wounded you can revive him and continue to play. There is too much to mention this is definitely my favorite game. Go out and buy it, you won’t be sorry, I wasn’t.
