Today I went to the local shop and bought an Xbox 360 Premium with 60 Gigs and along with it Gears of War an my first dissapointments were mainly the Gears of War game. I dont know why but for some reason everyone here seems to like it and I dont. I start the game up and I see just plain darkness and then a door opens up to show you getting rescued by a guy who wears a big ugly suit and looks like joke. I walk abit and fight a locust soldier just after I see a helicopter crash and its just boring.I look around and I dont get why its graphics are hyped so much as well. Its made in 2006, ofcourse its going to look worse then the newly released games like Battlefield Bad Company.I also really dont like how the game shows you being low on health by putting up a red circle in the middle of the screen. Whats with the huge power adaptor?.I also dislike the analog sticks on the controller since there way to small. My last dissapointment was I couldnt find Halo 3 since Halo 2 was just so much fun.

On a more happy note I now own both a PS3 and a Xbox 360. I really like the left and right triggers on the controller and I look forward to getting Halo 3, Fable 2 and left 4 dead since there all appealing games.

MOD Edit - This should have been put in a blog. Threads are meant to lead to some kind of discussion.

I personally think that Gears Of War is an amazing game with amazing graphics, and I can't wait for Gears 2.

Everyone has their own opinions though.

Yeah and I personally think that the 360 controller is perfect (including the sticks) and I hate the PS3 controller.

well, this thread is meaningless i guess. But all i have to say is that the Xbox 360 controller is way far superior to the ps3, the only flaw that the xbox controler has over the ps3 controller is the D-pad. Also, Gears of wars is a GREAT game with GREAT graphics. You are right it was realeased in 2006, but the Games that game out after, until today have any graphics better than gears? i dont' think so, the graphics still looks amazing. can't wait until Gears 2.

I love the 360 controller. I was never comfortable with the playstation controllers even back with the original PS1. The sensitive shoulder buttons didn't help neither. Congrats on getting ur own 360. BTW, I don't like Gears of War neither. I know how u feel. Alot of people like it but I don't. I've played it and beaten it but after that, I never went back to it. I still can't see why it was so hyped.

Im not a fan of Gears of war and i too feel its overrated but i agree with people who say the controllers better, its set out perfectly, and xbox live is much better than ps3 online.

Personally I never understood how the graphics in Gears was so hyped either, seemd very bland and too gritty. But yeah, check out Halo 3, I enjoyed that MUCH more!

mmm, dont be put off by what uve experienced so far. The xbox 360 is a good console. I personally love the 360 controllers, i find them more comfortable than the PS3 ones. In my personal opinion though, I cant work out why people would want both the PS3 and the 360. But thats just me.

the original gears was good for its time, but now there is better stuff, like Gears 2
