I love it. I play it almost everyday and I will be one of the people playing it even after Halo 3 comes out. Yes, the MP is broken but its still very fun IMO.

Great game. One of the best for the console. The campaign is great whilst it lasts and you've got some online multiplayer too. It works well some of the time but can be pretty glitchy and frustrating too, though.

Online is only fun/interesting if your playing with your friends. But even then it takes at least 10 minutes of sitting in a lobby to even start a game.

It is really fun. It isn't as good as Halo but very fun while it lasts. I had a great time with the MP and the co-op is great. Might want to get it soon if you want to play online while people are still on, and by that i mean before the 25th.

Quite the opposite, but looking at your sig, you are a Halo fan so it's alright;).

I am still playing the multiplayer ever since I got it back in December. The campaign I have gone through several times on each difficult, at least once by myself and once with a friend. The multiplayer is very fun when you get the hang of it.

I've only played the campaign. I was somewhat disappointed. It wasn't nearly as strategic as claimed. The squad was as smart as a bag of hammers. The story was virtually non-existent. The controls were goofy, as you stick (unintentionally) to anything you run past. Being a longtime pc gamer, the graphics were comparable to what was considered top-rate on the PC 3 or more years ago (yes I played on an HD).

Not to say I didn't enjoy it at all. But if this is the best we have to look forward to, then I'm questioning my recent decision to purchase my 360.

I loved co-op, but I didn't like the versus modes. Campaign could have been a bit longer.

The game is good, but disappointing and not worth the $60. My friend bought it, got bored and gave it to me.

First off, Single Player is too short and easy. Even on Hard mode. What I also hate about Gears of War is how few enemies there are on each encounter. You never find more than6 Locust at a time, which saddens me, because its called the Locust HORDE, and trailers show how many there are in numbers. Next, is multiplayer. Fun, but broken and imbalanced.

Its a solid game, yet once played, grows lackluster and makes you feel the game was too overrated.

DUDE RENT IT!!! RENT IT FOR CHRIST SAKES!

Honestly man you need to rent it before you make a serious mistake. The single player takes as long as a pile of dog turd to decompose (which surprisingly doesn't take that long) and the online is so repetitive that it takes the word "repetitive" to a whole.nother.level (madtv baby hehe). With all the good titles coming out, I say pre-order something.

SP is awesome especially if you have someone to play co-op with. Not of fan of MP. Too many people glitch when they play and there is a big host advantage. Although, it is worth if for the SP.

Exageration. It did not take six hours unless you did it on the easiest level. Even then...did you even bother to try out the multiplayer? I mean really try it, like gettingdecentat it trying.

Its ok single player, i thought multiplayer was terrible, but so far i only like one game on live which is vegas so i am probably not the best person to ask that but it SHINES at co-op. People may make fun of me here for this but it reminded me of the original Contra game since you and your buddy are in the same room are just blasting the hell out of everything. Its been a long time for a game to come out that was good like that.

In my opinion one of the best ways so far to play a shooter. Only problem was it wasn't long enough for my taste. But still incredible game.

It is a fantastic game that anyone with a 360 should own. The single-player had some dissapointing areas,(no brumak battles, but fighting the beserkers is crazy fun),but it was still a great time, especiallly co-op. (the ending was a little anti-climatic though)The gameplay is amazing however IMO.Taking cover and returning fire feels really intuitive, and addicting,so does the rodey run. The gameplay also has some innovative touches such as the rodey run cam, active reloades, sweet curbstops and executions. and of course the favorite chainsaw, which never gets old IMO. The controls, once you get used to them work fine, but you might have to get used to them through some practice. Sure sometimes you stick to things you dont mean to take cover against which can get a little annoying, but it doesnt distract from the experience that much. The graphics are obviously amazing, as are the sound effects. The attention to detail on some of the character model is staggering. The lighting is exellent as well. The multiplayer is so much fun, and lasted me over 6-months with friends. It is addicting and you can play splitscreen online with a guest. There are a lot of greatmaps, but only a few modes, but now worries, for me at least cause I am happy playing standard team-death matches. Plus no map plays alike,and they all look unique.So overall definite buy. Best game on the console, and one of the best shooters ever made IMO. And whoever said the thing about it looking like a 3 year old PC game is a total ignorant blind moron:lol:

I agree with Thorpe89 and his assessment of the game. It was rated as one of the best but it has some extremely offensive language. Gore is at its heigth but it is still a great shooter.
