I was not expecting to like this game as much as I do.....
Controls - this is where I give the 10. The controls for this game are so natural. I love how they made the LT pull yourself to cover and then you just release to move. It took me less then 15 minutes to get the controls down and after that it was smooth sailing.
Gameplay - There is so much to talk about. There are so many maps and so many different options that you could play this for days and never do the samething. The online and SP are heart pounding and the AI are extremely smart.
Sound - When we were playing the terrorists mission you can actually hear them talking crap about you. There was one time that I stuck my head out and door and then went back and I heard the AI say "what ? Are you too scared to get killed?". That is just plain funny and my friends and me spent more time laughing about what the AI was saying to use or when they were swearing then we did talking to each other.
Overall - this game will not get the high score that GEOW received but that is purely because of the graphics and the fact the Gears was so different then any other game. Las Vegas is my true favorite and I feel sorry for my Gears copy because it will not get played for a long time to come.
