    @smackerlacker yes some dialouge does seem unneccassary and does remind me of some ganster wannabes from school but still its a fun interesting game

    @ every one who doesnt like the pc version once again i may be biased but how can the pc version be worse when its the same just with pc controls and improved graphics plus some extra missions

    @Huzzaahh
    If those games are so good why are you here? and besides at least xbox magazine doesnt overrate their exclusives to hype

    @ Huzzaahh.
    dude, this this from 2006 when the ps3 wasn't even out yet. Why don't you ps3 fan-boys go complain about your own games and the terrible ps3 magazine

    @gamefreak9007

    Are you kidding me? The Ps3 has way more technically stunning games. Gears of War looks and plays great, but it isn't close to beating games like MGS4 and Killzone 2.

    First of all GoW is a fun shooter on xox and not on pc. The pc version sucks I have to say. Second of all GoW 2 multiplayer isn't broken it's just that some people have bad internet connection that's all! Never played GoW or GoW 2, but I'll buy them, I can't wait.

    I played the pc version. I was not impressed. The lighting makes everything look like plastic. And the characters are all Arnold Schwarzenegger lookin dudes with ridiculously big muscles that probably couldn't clap if they wanted too. This game seems to be aimed at gangsta wanna-bee's. There's only one useful weapon, the grenades are a waste of time, and the core game-play consists of popping out, trying to shoot something, then hiding to recover. It's pretty pathetic. Don't ever play this game.

    khaos i agree but you relize you just said that to many people who are console fanaics or gears of war fans who love consoles so other than me your not gonna get much support. still i may be biasd by my love of the pc but i agree with you

    boring game, so macho, boring stale storyline about a hero saving the worls from an alien invasion, oh please no imagination. practically futile one button cover button.

    great game but not as good as gears 2

  • MetalMan300

    Posted Jan 30, 2009 10:00 am PT

    @Profzhu- I thought that the weapon balance was a huge improvement over gears 1. The matchmaking system needs patching, but, although i still use the shotgun, the lancer can actually do something now. . i just never liked that someone could get kills by rolling around with the shotgun all game. that wasnt the type of gameplay the developers were going for. personal preference i guess

    2nd best game of 2006.... twilight princess is #1 hands down!

    gears of war 1 beats gears of war 2 hand down. unless epic start doing some serious patching and balancing for the broken gears 2 multiplayer

    i got this about 1 1/2 weeks ago along with a 360 elite, and i barely played like 1 hour into it because i was busy with my ps3. playing mgs4 and cod waw. I restarted playing it yesterday and i got into it, its a fun experience and although it doesnt compare to say mgs4 or cod 4 or waw. its a great game. i have all 3 systems and this is a good game for the 360. i am just trying out 360 exclusive games and this is the first one i like. im most likely getting the 2nd soon to continue it. since im already on act four outta five. that sucks, wish it was longer. I like ps3 better though, but 360 takes second place next to it.

    Just bought it a few hours ago. Can't wait to play it. I wanna play this before I play GOW2

    Heh some of those posts were funny. Yes this game deserves its high rating. No this game doesn't make the 360 a better gaming console, because it was that already. For 40$ the game is still a bargain. I'd recommend both if you have or want either, if just to keep the first campaign handy for friends.

    The tragedy is that many games are over rated by gamespot just because the advertisers buy them out. This was not one of them, its one of the few games that deserves it. As for Jeff(This reviewer), he was canned for not buying into that. That's what it looks like anyway.(Why else would they fire one of the best reviewers that's been here for 10 or so years? They didn't even release a reason.) There are plenty of bad games with "sugercoated" reviews, so don't act surprised. There are even more bad video reviews that sometimes make me wonder why I'm still here. Watch Condemned 2 or Fable 2...

    I think jeff is the best reviewer in GS.... really miss him and want to see his review once again.... I really hope the big game came out recently are reviewed by him, I think the reviews will be more entertaining and get fair scores too.

    I've think it should have gotten AT MOST a 9.3....it a **** load of FUN....kept me entertained for days on end

    I think it's funny how everyone seems to pretend to hate this game just because number 2 is on it's way... Gears of War is nothing but pure awesomeness... if there is such a word.

    Great game. Ive just bought an x360 and GoW a couple of days ago. As a warmup for GoW2. I also own a PS3 but this is a game u just have tot have!! For me, it was worth buying an xbox for.

    This game is the most overrated thing on the current generation consoles.

    what sk8erwarlock means that its another game like halo loved by x360 fans mostly but most people say its lame i wont be amazed if in a few years people call this game lame like they call halo now, what so amazing about this game? the bad combat that even mass effect ad brother in arms got better the stupid guns like sniper with one shot in 20++ era or the non existed story, also that stuff like barrel shooting an bosses kill the action, maybe because it was superior game when it came out in x360 with good control, can anyone tell me what am missing? i cant see why it deserves more than a 9?
