Epics GOW is an excellent addition to the 360!

User Rating: 9 | Gears of War X360
Gears of war the first in a new series we all hope.

A game full of fun intuitive campaign gameplay and amazing online multiplayer. The campaign starts off almost straight into the action having just been released from prison and put straight back into the COG forces.

The campaign gameplay and storyline is fairly solid especially with online co-op which is very useful especially at the harder modes. Each mode isnt too difficult even insane mode (which can be very challenging) isnt too difficult on co-op. Only when it comes to splitting up can the game feel impossible to complete at times. The old school boss battles exist having to fight berserkers and the general of the locust hordes!

Online keeps the game solid after you complete it although let down by the lack of servers and sometimes laggy gameplay its still a solid online experience. There are 4 online modes, warzone and execution are very similar but executions requires you to be near the enemy when you slaughter them. Assasination is the most unique mode but lacks too much depth although it is a good change to the other modes having to protect the leader. And annex which is a dulled down king of the hill but it can be great fun since the game never has too end.

All in all GOW is an amazing experience with only a few technical issues mainly online but they are minor for players who are willing to overlook small issues. The online gameplay is great fun with an amazing mix of weapons and characters to play as in the multiplayer experience.
