After spending over 100 hours with this game (sp and mp), I can honestly say that this is the greatest game ever made.

What more is there to say that hasn't already been said about the 2006 Game of the Year? Great graphics? Yep. Great gameplay? Yep. Great levels/environments? Yep. Great multiplayer? Yep. And being a big fan of blockbuster Hollywood action flicks, I love the dialogue and bantering between the members of the COG team. Some of the best one-liners ever in a game.

What is the one thing that makes Gears stand out above the rest (Rainbow Six Vegas, COD3, GRAW, etc.)? To me, I'd say that its the feeling that you really have to work to get your kills. No easy 1-shot kills here (I'm talking to you RSV and GRAW). Yes, there's a sniper, but it takes a lot of skill to use and n00bs should steer-clear. Yes, there are grenade taggers, but try to come at me with one and I'll drop you before you get close. Everything in Gears just feels like there is a risk-versus-reward decision to make.

Is the game perfect? No, but it still leads to the best gaming experience, to date, on any platform.
