    personally i thought gears 2 was better, but it wasn't as revolutionary or as much of a surprise as this game was. in 2006 a 9.6 is probably worth a 9.0 in 2008

    the graphics havent aged a bit and still look incredible

    iz there ranks online ?? like gears 2 ?

  • xtremeflem2day

    Posted Jul 25, 2009 4:57 pm PT

    Man this game is a classic, gears of war is proof of how good a game can be if its graphics, story, environment and weapons all fit together perfectly. Gow2 wasnt nearly as good.

  • xtremeflem2day

    Posted Jul 25, 2009 4:46 pm PT

    @lonewolf1196 lol the graphics arent improved at all dont make up lies cause u know ur wrong, plus 9.0....vs 9.6 go ahead try to act like PC is better.

    i prefer gears 2 tbh probably because its more action packed

    sk8erwarlock, LOL, we dont really want it.

  • lonewolf1196

    Posted Jul 2, 2009 1:34 pm PT

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

  • lonewolf1196

    @ 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

  • turokdude

    @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

  • CoD_dude133

    @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.

    best game with best graphics and best controls and best everything!!!!! I can´t wait for the GEARS OF WAR 3!!!! and I known it´s coming

    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

  • saturninesmile

    Posted Mar 16, 2009 1:25 pm PT

    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.

    This game is amazing using the chainsaw for the first time was awsome.

    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
