Nine years might as well be an eternity in video game time. Although the first Gears of War was a hugely innovative, forward-thinking take on the third-person shooter when it arrived in 2005 on the Xbox 360, two sequels and one spin-off later, today it's a respected piece of history.

Visual enhancements; Core game mostly holds up; Includes bonuses from the PC version

Only includes the first game; Some modes more improved than others; Missing innovations introduced in later games

The 20 maps featured in the game still feel as great as they did in the past and playing modes such as King of the Hill made me appreciate them more now than in the past. Despite the overall balance issues, the multiplayer still manages to keep its charm after all these years, resulting in some...

First things first. The Web site says not available in stores. This is wrong! I have seen it in many wal mart stores and it is where I bought mines. For those who enjoyed it in the 360, you will not be disappointed. This game is just as great.

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition provides XBox One owners a great third person shooter experience as you attempt to save humanity from the locust hoard

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition adds a nice visual shine and beefs up multiplayer but neglects some noticeable issues with the campaign. The updated and jam-packed multiplayer component stands in stark contrast to the campaign, which adds five previously PC-exclusive chapters and adjusts checkpoints...

This game is simply amazing! I have never played a gears of war game before so i got this game and i can tell you THIS is how you remake a game! The gameplay is amazing and so much fun! The graphics are fantastic! The multiplayer is awesome! The coop is cool. And the story is great!

What made Gears great almost 10 years ago still makes Gears great today. It's a beautiful game with smart cover mechanics, great core combat, and commitment to an over-the-top tone.

Strong style; Fun special encounters; Satisfying combat; Great graphics
