    Gears 3, just like 1 and 2 are must plays. I've been playing 1-3 again, but on my Series X. It's a steal price, highly recommend.

    É um excelente jogo, com história e gameplay fantásticas, eu não acho que supere seu antecessor mas de fato é uma ótima experiência esse jogo

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Cet opus constitue l'apologie de la trilogie, avec un dénouement à l'affrontement avec les locustes. des affrontement toujours pus variés qui offre de nombreuses possibilités.

    Less darker than the previous instalments in the series, but still violent and badass enough to be a true Gears of War game.

    While the gameplay is redefined for the better, with a larger arsenal of weapons and tools to experiment with, the campaign seems like a step-back. The multiplayer is the star of the show for sure, and the addition of Beast Mode is what the series really needed.

    Overall it's a great game and an improvement over Gears of War 2 in some ways, but personally I didn't like it as much.

    The best of the original trilogy. What more can be said about Gears 3? The characters are great, the story amazing, and the combat/action is top notch. This game ups it all with amazing set pieces and some really tear jerking moments. What Ana amazing game and end to the first trilogy. Get this game and play it!

    A great game, with a good story and enjoyable combat, but not really a fan of the less dark & atmospheric approach, there are times where it feels like a stereotypical American action movie.

    Tek kelimeyle efsaneydi .En sevdiğim gears oyunu oldu .Anyanın kısa saçlı bomba hali ile marcus fenixi oynamak süperdi.Final boss olarak biraz 1.oyunun gerisinde kaldı benim için ama yinede efsaneydi.

    Gears 3 gets an amazing ending to a great video game trilogy. The combat is as intense as you can expect, the graphics are beautiful and the story is deep enough. The only flaw is that enemies are not as tough as in gears 1 or 2 but they are a great challenge. A must-play, specially in new hardware.

    Gears of War 3 was a great way to end a trilogy. I can still feel his death, and I refuse to say his name because he will live FOREVER! lol

    Extraordinary game, no less good than the previous parts. Excellent co-op and MP mode. Fun is guaranteed.

    Izuzetna igra, ništa manje dobra od prethodnih delova. Odličan co-op i MP mod. Zabava je zagarantovana.

    Excellent! The best in the series so far.

    We've still got Marcus Fenix n' Gang fightin' them Loctusts and Lambents to save the human (?) race. They finally start to see the light at the end of the tunnel and uncover some of the mysteries of the war and how it started. There are some surprisingly emotional moments in the story that hit me harder than I expected.

    The shooting is still Gears brand of cover shooting that so many games have tried to copy, but the further in that I get in the series the more comfortable it gets. New weapons and the ever present active reload makes you feel pretty skilled in each encounter. Also, Silverbacks are a really cool addition to the universe!

    The thing that keeps me coming back to these games isn't really the shooting so much as the clever and unique ideas that they come up with to build the world. From Brumacs to Locust Boats and Airships, it's really neat to see what the developers are going to think of next.    … Expand

    O segundo melhor Gears. Difícil escolher entre ele e o 5. Manteve tudo de bom do 1 e do 2 e ainda melhorou tudo. Tem a melhor história disparado.

    Rather than the perfect end to a thrilling series, it seemed like the developers were afraid to take real risks with either the story or the gameplay of Gears 3.

    Gears of War 3 is a solid game and likely worthy of the praise it's received. I just happen to think it falls a bit flat.
