Gears 3 is Epics swan song to a series which came from nowhere in 2006 and shocked the gaming world with it's high fidelity graphics, it's cover mechanism and it's unashamed approach to violence.

Excellent detail; Emotionally charged story.

Friendly AI can be a little too good

Gears of War 3 is undoubtedly the ultimate in the series, made especially for the fans with the formula, story and characters they've become to love grown and polished to brilliance.

Undoubtedly the best Gears to date; Four player co-op; Expansive multiplayer modes

Graphically limited by the hardware; Difficulty of four player co-op can be unnerving; Beast mode could have been much more

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.

There are still a few glitches with Multiplayer that should hopefully be ironed out as the servers become more established. But as games go Gears of War 3 is still brilliant and its Horde/Beast modes provide even more entertainment once the single player campaign has come to an end.

Being a big fan of Gears of War franchise, it was with great anticipation and trepidation that I began to play through the campaign mode. I was fearful that EPIC may have taken the franchise a step too far and perhaps diluted the raw gameplay of the previous two award winning titles.

+ Great Storyline; + Polished graphical content; + Copious amounts of violence; + 4 Player co-op; + Refined Multiplayer; + Ties up all of the loose ends of previous games

Finally the last chapter to the epic trilogy of Gears of War is coming to an end. Since the launch of the series way back in 2006, gamers have fell in love in the story of lead character "Marcus Fenix" and his friend "DOM" as they save the universe from Locust.

Over 1,000 gamers showed up in Times Square to score a copy of Gears of War 3 last month, the third and final instalment in the arc that was introduced in 2006 with Gears of War; after tearing through the first mission with innovative weapons and impressive graphics, it was obvious that the hype was...

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

Dont get me wrong with this. The game is great I could not fault it and for the price what a bargain!! Only problem being the condition it showed up at my door in. Holes in the actual box that contained the game and other items. But no damage to the items inside. Ive been fair but overall buy this!!

This does nothing new, but everything is does is competent; just like the previous 2 Gears games. Worth playing just to see the end of the storyline.
