Loud, brash, pretty, and crass that perfectly sums up the Gears of War 3 experience. The scene is set as humanity's last glimmer of hope of surviving an all out Lambent takeover lies within the trigger fingers of a ragtag disbanded group of Gears (Soldiers) of the COG (Coalition of Ordered...

Great campaign; Fast paced action; Tons of features

Extremely violent; Excessive gore; Horrible language

Controller feels great and works great. The joystick are a little loose so if you leave them alone they may stick in the direction and cause your character to still move despite not wanting to. Other than that, the controller works great! I'd definitely recommend this to all Gears of War fans!

My grandson liked to play this game for hours.

Gears of War 3 is a tough game to rate. For starters, the game mechanics are virtually unchanged since the original, with some minor control tweaks. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the game feels dated as a result.

Chainsaw bayonets have been a secure staple in the Gears of War series ever since the first game and they still haven't changed. And why should they? Viciously ripping your opponent in half, reducing them to a puddle of chunky horror is the ultimate way to ensure an enemy isn't playing dead.

Gears of War: Background The Gears of War trilogy is set on the planet Sera, and is centred on an ongoing battle between humanity and a race of creatures known as Locust. Locust began an attack on humanity after a time known as Emergence Day, when hordes of these creatures broke through the ground...

Good graphics - good re - playability - strong multiplayer

Some problems with online community

Fenix Rising is the third major game add-on for the highly popular Gears of War 3 machine. The new maps feature five new multiplayer maps inspired, in part, by the life and experiences of grizzled veteran COG Soldier Marcus Fenix.

All round a good game, it's a great change of game-type from your usual games on the market (eg. FPS, driving sims, sports, and RPGs) Those that have played either Gears of War 1 or 2, and enjoyed them. Should definitely buy Gears of War 3.

Challenging; Co-op; Engaging Story Line; Gameplay; Graphics; Great Sound; Multiplayer

In the beginning, I didn't like this game. I had not played the previous Gears titles and as soon as I started I found the controls hard to get used to and clumsy. Fortunately I persevered, and as time went on Act I found I didn't want to put it down.

Immersive plot and design; excellent weapons and satisfying action

Occasional grinding battles; stereotypical characters; control system takes some getting used to

Gears of War 3 (GOW3) does what's unthinkable for most Jap franchises - it concludes. Since a happy ending is in order, that means the humans eventually have to find a way to rid the planet Sera of its hostile indigenous lifeforms. Just think James Cameron's Avatar with an alternate ending.

Excellent graphics; Wholesome gore; Addictive multiplayer; Wicked weapons

Weak plot; One-dimensional characters; Repetitve boss battles; Contrived melodrama; Cringe-inducing one-liners
