Possibly the greatest game yet!
The gameplay of GoW is as addicting like no other. You constantly find yourself smashing into walls and pieces of cover before you are killed. You cannot run and gun because you will be killed. No joke. You need to find the right weapons to defeat certain enemies. Some are bigger and harder to kill, while others can be killed by a single melee attack. When you get hit, a red, bloody GoW logo starts to form in the middle of the screen. If it is completed, you die. This happens often if you don't know what to do.
Now for the best part, the chainsaw and curb stomps! Often, you will find a weapon which is a machine gun/chainsaw bayonet. When an enemy is close by, simply hold the B button to rev it up and then move to the enemy to slice him up. The sound of flesh ripping apart is kinda satisfying, you know? GoW being a very bloody, if not bloodiest, game yet, the enemy will constantly spew out massive amounts of blood until he is dead. The curb stomps are just as fun, but hard to do. Usually, you'll just start shooting every enemy in site, but if you happen to hit an enemy just enough that he drops to his knees, but doesn't die, the fun begins. Just run up to a downed enemy and press the X button to kick his head right off. It looks like it's freakin' exploding, it's so awesome! Blood squirts everywhere and the enemy, well... dies, obviously.
The difficulty depends on what mode you play on. Casual is the Normal level, Hardcore is the Hard level (don't start on this mode if you aren't serious about it), and if you beat the game on Hardcore, you unlock Insane mode, which is definitely insane!
Buy this game if you like blood and gore. If you enjoy Third-Person shooters, this is the best yet. If you are worried about the blood and profanity, there's an option to filter it all out. (this means no chainsaw or curb stomp). Have fun and don't forget to buy it!
