Gives HALO a Run for it's money
What GoW lacks in story line, it more then makes up for it with white hot graphics, lots of action, and an original enemy that gives HALO's Covenant a very big run for it's money. The story line is a typical Alien invasion type story, similar to HALO's Human-Convenant War, the main characer, Marcus Fenix is more deep then HALO's Master Chief , and allows players to experience the war from the point of view of a normal grunt instead of a supersoldier.
While Gears has the standard variety of sci-fi/military shooter weapons, inclduing assault and sniper rifles. The addition of a chain saw bayonet adds the feel of a post-apocolypitic film.
One can only hope the sequel is just as good as the original.
