What's great about it: The price is right What's not so great: An older game.
"I finally know what all the hype was about with this game series. When Gear 2 drops a little more in price, I'll pick it up also."

What's great about it: Awesome narrative, engaging gameplay, wicked graphics, entertaining mulitiplayer What's not so great: numerous glitches that rear their ugly heads mostly in mulitiplayer, but most were fixed with updates
"A truly epic game (no pun intended, as the developer is Epic) that scored game of the year when it was released to critical acclaim.
You'll have to play it yourself to understand why it is so awesome.
On another note, BestBuy.com's description of the title is partially inaccurate - the setting for the game IS NOT Earth, it is a planet called Sera, which according to the storyline was colonized by humans before the events that take place in the game itself.
Best Buy, please update the description so you don't look foolish.
- Mike"

What's great about it: The Graphics and the gameplay take the Spotlight here What's not so great: The Dialogue can get very Cheesy
"When i first played this game i was amazed by the incredible graphics, i could not believe the level of realism that i was seeing , but i tought to myself that graphics are only a part of what makes a great game , when i started playing trough the first level i felt in love with the gameplay , at that moment it was so different from everything else, in this game you had to take cover and roll over to avoid getting yourself killed , you cannot win in this game simply by going on rampage and trying to take everything head on .... you need to be calm and and fast at the same time , it may seem boring but believe me when i say that it is not , the awsome gameplay and the breathtaking graphics really pull into the action in a way that only the very best can, and just when it was getting a little tiresome the game ends with an awsome final battle so it is the perfect lenght . overall one of the best games of this generation and a worthy 9.8 in my book"

What's great about it: The weapons are amazing, the story is intense and over all it is my most favorite game in the world What's not so great: A little short but it is worth every penny
"If you like awesomeness this game is for you times one million! It has amazing weapons such as the "lancer" that you can cut the locust in half with or shoot them (it doesnt matter really its all awesome), the "hammer of dawn" wich alows you to target people and smite them down instantly, and my personal favorite the "tourqe bow" (and if you ever meet me during online play i will dominate you with it), its a bow that shoots bomb arrows and if you pull the bow to its fullest and hit somone then they will be in a world of hurt and instantly die. The story mode on this game is amazing and the co-op is also very amazing. THIS GAME IS THE BEST AND WORTH EVERY PENNY ^_____^ I have beaten this game 3 times (two times on insane) and I am looking foward to buying "GEARS OF WAR 2" from "BEST BUY" this weekend! Thank you Best Buy!"

What's great about it: The Lancer has a Chainsaw on it, you couldn't aks for more! What's not so great: Not a thing.
"Ok Gears of War is by far the most wonderful experiance I've ever played. The Lancer has a Chainsaw on it so you can slice up the Locus hord into shushi and the way the camera is angled really makes you feel like you're next to Marcus Fenix battling the enemy. The only thing I can say is if you own a PS3, 360 or PC...What are you wating for? Buy this game no gamer should be without it. The graphics are great, the story is wounderful and the music is perfict for this game. If I could I'd give it a 10/5!"

What's great about it: Graphics, Price, Quality, Story What's not so great: nothing
"Well the game is great full of non stop action, fast thrilling speed firing, smooth graphics, best textures i have ever seen, a couple of graphic problems like it takes a little time to load some textures and when things go really high like alot of blasts and action it becomes a little slow, you can over come this problem when you install the game to the Hard Drive. Over All the game is full of Action and Thrill you should also get Gears of War 2."

"What makes it so great? You can use a weapon that has a chainsaw as a bayonet on it. This is fun so you can kill your enemies and shred them into thousands of little pieces. It is a really good game. I still haven't played the second one yet. I hope it is as good or even better than the first one."

What's great about it: Fun for both Single and Multiplayer Modes
"This game is definitely one of the best titles out there for this platform. Whether it's Single Player or Online Play, its great. It may take some practice to get used to shooting without aiming though (shooting around your cover, or the close range firefights with shotguns). Great graphics, great controls and techniques (the ability to move from cover to cover, playing grenade tag, etc.), good story. All in all, it's a must-buy for people that love the shooter genre."

By JtotheOtotheE
What's great about it: Graphics, Sound, Online, Campaign, Controls What's not so great: None
"I purchased Gears of War when it first came out, but it is still one of the best games around. It has better graphics then any game available for Xbox 360. This game never gets old as I could play through it 3 times and still have some things left to unlock. This version of the game is cheaper and includes and extra DVD. If you haven't purchased Gears of War yet, I suggest you go to the store and buy this game."
