Not everything it is cracked up to be.
User Rating: 7.7 | Gears of War X360
This game is too short. The campaign only lasts a mere five acts, and each act isn’t the longest thing you will ever play. Don’t get me wrong, the graphics are amazing, and the gameplay moves smooth. The whole idea of basing the game entirely on the usage of cover was a stroke of genius, because most shooter games don’t make any sense, where you can run around in the middle of the map without any cover and remain uninjured. The graphics are almost unbelievable, showing the amount of detail that can go into a game. The multiplayer leaves a lot to be desired though. The sheer amounts of glitches that can go on in a game are ludicrous. You can run at someone with a chainsaw, and suddenly the game glitches, so that you are suddenly shot down by someone wielding a pistol. The whole aiming idea with the Boomshot is just stupid beyond belief. You have that perfect shot lined up, winning kill of the game, and it bloody arcs up or down, and screws up your chances.
