    I loved all the previous Gears games, but this last installment is a serious letdown. It kinda feels like you're playing Gears of war Arcade game; the levels are short, everything is about how good score you're gonna get etc. And no boss fights, except for the ultra lame final boss. I was really disappointed with this game.

    This game is seriously BAD. I have been playing gears of war since 2006 and could only stand this game for less than a week before selling it on ebay. I cannot even begin to explain what it wrong with this game because there It just too much! 1 out of 10 score for me. TRASSSSSSH.

    As a long time fan of the series I must say that this is like Halo/Cod. They took away DBNO (Down but not out) they took away the option to have 2 primary weapons at the same time.

Plays almost like the other games in the gears series but feels more "arcadey" The story was lacking even more so than the other games. The multiplayer is just god awful, they took everything good from the other games and scrapped it. There isn't anything I like about the multiplayer at all. The game got boring quick and even though the campaign was OK it doesn't save the game in itself. As painful for it is for me to say I just think this game sucks and should of finished with Gears 3. So if you are in to the overratednes of Call of Duty games, then by all means go and buy this, but if you hate Call of Duty then I wouldn't recommend this to you as this is just a third person version of that. If you do not know this already, you might want to know that the multiplayer is no longer Cog vs Locust, it is now just like halo in that aspect with it's Cog vs Cog (red vs blue) kind of feels like a step down in my opinion.

    Judgment is most definitely the weakest game of the series, but it is in no way, a bad game.

EXCEPT FOR THE GOD DANG LOCKED ON THE DISK DLC, you payed for the game and you expect everything to be on the disk, sure you obviously gonna have to unlock things, but the fact that you have the game but then have to buy the locked skins and armor crap AGAIN just makes me mad beyond repair. It's almost just like what Capcom screwed up on with their games, (horrible dlc) but enough about that, cuz the VIP pass is sort of worth it, anyway gameplay is the same as it will ever be, they changed around some the controls, and teh story is a little bland, but it was fine, i liked the declasiy missions, and there was alot of things to find, it feels alot like an arcade multiplayer style game, it doesn't focus on anything too seriously. Multiplayer isn't as great as it was, almost no great maps, almost no great characters, and almost no great gamemodes that stand out from your normal gears games, there is a great additon to Overun mode, but i like horde better personally, all in all, it was more disapointing that i though it would be, still though if your a fan go right ahead and buy it, for sale, not worth 60 bucks, and im still ticked off about that stupid dlc, i mean who doesn't want fluffy rainbow on a bloody chainsaw lancer.… Expand

However the gaming style was quite drastically different. Unlike the last Gears of war games, the storytelling isn't as linear and the sections are broken up by arcade style levels. You don't get to keep your weapons that you had in the last section which can be especially annoying if you've just grabbed your favourite weapon.
    But the interesting thing are the challenges they issue you to keep you on your toes, and the enemies in each level have about three different wave styles if you die/restart a level.
    What was nice to see was that if you played enough/got enough stars awarded you unlocked a section from the Gears 3 arc.

    Over all it was definitely a fun game in terms of the main campaign but the play style was a little jarring by comparison, as much as they made it fit to the plot.. I'd rather they just stuck to a flowing gameplay rather than breaking it up into chunks.    … Expand

Although the game does some things right, gameplay is solid like in every Gears of War. Last thing that Gear of War does right is the multiplayer, probably the most enjoyable multiplayer i have ever played. If you want to buy Gears of War: Judgement, you should definitely give it a try because it's really deep and fun if you are playing with you buddies.

    Poor Storyline, way less emotional than GOW2 and GOW3. I miss Marcus and Dom for sure.
    Very good campaign in terms of gameplay, far more intense than any previous Gears game. AI is better and more aggressive in campaign. Also, it throws tougher enemies at you... overall more immersive. Multiplayer has nothing specially better, but nothing bad also.    COMPARING WITH PREVIOUS GEARS

    ADDITION Overrun brings in a newer MP mode, a good.
    _________Declassified mode makes it even more challenging.
    DELETION Our beloved HORDE mode is deleted, replacing it with some survival mode, which is not as interesting as classic Horde. After addition of fortification options in horde of GOW3, I thought the series will make Horde experience better. A strong dismal.

    Definitely the worst entry in the series, but it's still a fun experience when played with others. The story and dialogue are laughably bad and the set pieces aren't very interesting.

Would put you in many different scenarios such as having a 3-4 minute time limit to clear a level or using only certain weapons, reducing your ammo or even fighting more/more powerful enemies. The controls didn't take long to get used to, and i definetely noticed the graphical improvements since Gears 3 seeing as you can unlock a mission from gears 3 called aftermath.

    Aftermath was fun, brought back a feeling of Gears 1 imo since certain parts were a little creepy. But you definetly can tell the difference in the graphics while playing it, Gears 3 still looks good but Judgment look much better IMO.

    Enter Gears of War: Judgment, the fourth title in the Gears series and a prequel to the original Gears. This time Epic Studios have put developer People Can Fly at the reigns of their beloved franchise. In an effort to appeal to the modern shooter fan they’ve made some minor control changes and some major design changes to the multi-player. The question is, does it make for a better Gears game or will long-time fans not be happy with some of the choices that have been made?

Now, the campaign for judgment was boring, and had some of the worst and ridiculous storytelling i have ever seen. The horde mode was gone, survival was absolute crap and a waste of time. The multiplayer looked as if it was made by cod players. The gnasher sucked, the weapons in play were lancers, which wouldnt have been as bad if there was a down but not out in the game. taking down but not out out of the series was a ginormous mistake. Spawning with grenades and using primaries with boomshields ruined it even more. The last thing that pushed me over the edge was the fact that the "red team" was not locoust, but cog instead. not only this, but there were only 8 characters to choose from at the least.… Expand

    Чуть менее стильная чем предыдущие части, что обусловлено сменой разработчиков. С сюжетом который ты не запомнишь, но с все еще классным оружием, отличной стрельбой и системой укрытий.

They've taken everything that belonged to gears and replaced it with COD features. Everyone gets a grenade to start with- its a bloody grenade frenzy. Teamwork is not needed anymore and that to me was what made the game gears of war.    … Expand

It has it's highs and lows, and when it does something well, it's sure to amaze. On the other side of the spectrum, there are sadly a lot of bad things to this game as well, and these will surely be a major deterrent.

    Let's start with the bad. The game does not have a traditional campaign mode like we Gears fans have come to expect/treasure, and it's also pitifully/mercifully short. The new characters are terrible and poorly fleshed out, and Baird and Cole share absolutely no banter. During firefights, you're squad does not shout anything or joke around like they used to. Also, the multiplayer is downright pitiful, a disgrace to the Gears of War franchise, with only 4 maps, and it's all human v. human. That being said, the new survival mode is a welcome addition, but this mode also replaces the much beloved Horde Mode, which was a major selling point in the series.

    Now for the good. This game has stellar graphics, some of the best we've seen on the Xbox 360. Also, the A.I. is amazing and this game provides some of the best gameplay in the series. Also, the second campaign, Aftermath, is a fresh, fantastic, and welcome addition.

    But that being said, this game is overall a mediocre experience, lacking the heart that drove the rest of the series forward into glory.    … Expand

    Tengo que decir que es el peor GoW, cambian muchas cosas, por ejemplo los comandos, la mecanica del juego y de llevar un arma principal, eso si el juego tal parece que ha sido desarrollado para ser mas arcade, viendo los movimientos de los personajes, lo compre por su modo multijugador y ni de eso se salva.

The changes to the control scheme are well done and fit right in with the Gears series. The entire time i played this game i never felt for a second like i wasnt playing a Gears of War game so i'll say People Can Fly did a fantastic job with keeping the feel and action on par with the rest of the series. However id say this is the weakest game in the series. Its story just feels half baked and tacked on some how even though its supposed to be a big part of the game. I did like the challenges with each mission but i didnt like the constant stopping and grading the game did. I like being able to see what kinds of kills i got such as a head shot or a grenade kill but i dont like the constant stop and play cycle that goes along with the campaign's structure. All in the all i enjoyed the story it was pretty good but seemed very short and disjointed. The iconic characters return to much success and are just as strong and awesome as always with some good new additions. The multiplayer is very much Gears and is as solid as ever with every offering you could imagine. The MP has evolved a little bit but not much has changed but just enough to keep it fresh. The graphics are as always high standard and the controls are as tight as can be. The gameplay and action never cease to amaze but with the constant slow downs from transitions in the singleplayer i found it to be a little less exciting as the original trilogy. The co-op options and multiplayer options are filled to the brim and with new unlockables and customization options i have a hard time finding a lot of complain about. But all in all this is just another gears game. Its well done but its definatly the weakest Gears. That being said its still worth a buy, maybe at a discounted price but certainly worth the time and money. 8/10… Expand

    Sound: Voice acting is good, traditional gears themes, traditional gun sounds. No issues with sound. 10.

    Gameplay: The single player is broken down into sections with some mechanics feeling similar to a horde mode. The gameplay mechanics are similar to previous gears games although the controls have been revamped. The new controls feel great, and the multiplayer feels faster paced. The VS mode is familiar with previous gears but with some tweaks. New game modes such as Overrun and Free for all are new to the gears series, and are actually a lot of fun. The game also adds an aftermath mode to the game’s campaign which feels more like traditional gears rather than the judgment campaign. Even with the judgment campaign feeling like sections after section the game is actually challenging. Probably the most challenging single player in any gears game. There are new declassified modes in the judgment campaign that make it the most challenging. Fans are disappointed this time around because there’s no horde mode although there’s a survival mode, but while it is a fresh take, it’s not as revolutionary as horde mode was. 9.0

    Story: The judgment campaign is a prequel in the gears series, and is told through testimonies from each character. The aftermath campaign takes place during gears 3 and is actually a good bonus. The story telling isn’t any amazing, but it’s just plain simple. No good plot twist, just a story progressing forward, with a seeable ending. 7.5.

    Replay Value: Tons of modes, definitely another gears game with replay value. The single player is short, but there’s a bonus aftermath mode, the multiplayer is never ending. Still, there’s not enough maps for modes like Overrun, or Versus, Epic made a bad decision, but future DLC packs will add more. 9.0.

    Gears of War: Judgement is not a game to be dismissed as bad. In fact, it has the same level of polish and good gameplay of previous games. I also like some of the changes, such as the addition of the Declassified segments. The game, however, feels way to similar to prior games, which may upset many.

A mixed stance on the balancing act is the Gnasher. It was nerfed to punish the community for relying too much on it. Instead of playing the game in the way it was originally intended to be, the community ruined the games itself. They kicked back the active reload since most people would drain their first clip in the beginning of the match so they could active reload for the buffs and weapon load-out is limited to two weapons along with grenades.
    There are only 4 agreeable changes among the countless others. They shelved executions and the D.B.N.O system (which speed up matches and respawning but the game loses it's violent grandeur because of the exclusions.) Teamwork and tactics are virtually nonexistent.
    Another tough subject is sensitivity. In most games, sensitivity increases the speed of button input recognition. That's not the case in GoW. Sensitivity directly impacts the speed your character moves at and performs actions with. The defaults make you an unwieldy tank but ratchet it up, and you're a blur of hulking muscle. With high sensitivity, you can quickscope like it's frickin' CoD. It 's an overpowered hidden mechanic that matches generally hinge on.
    I could care less about the story since you have General Not-RAAM running around on a flying Corpser. The new (or should I say old? This is a prequel after all.) don't change the pace that much. Muliplayer is like watered-downed vodka. Sure, it's easier to swallow but you feel like you're missing something. Just rent it.    … Expand

    Okay, where to begin. Let's start with the severely flawed gameplay features. First of all, no down-but-not-out. Now, when you're riddled with bullets, you're just dead 9 times out of 10, depending on the circumstances. In Overrun, for instance, you're dead, but can be revived by a medic with "stim grenades", (which to me is kind of ridiculous, just because it feels ridiculous, but that'sOkay, where to begin. Let's start with the severely flawed gameplay features. First of all, no down-but-not-out. Now, when you're riddled with bullets, you're just dead 9 times out of 10, depending on the circumstances. In Overrun, for instance, you're dead, but can be revived by a medic with "stim grenades", (which to me is kind of ridiculous, just because it feels ridiculous, but that's beside the point) which doesn't make me feel any better about not having DBNO. Next, unless things have changed a good bit since the last time I played multiplayer, you can't grenade tag walls to set traps. I personally enjoyed this feature, as it was a fun way to add some strategy to the game. I also hate that you can't have two primary weapons and a pistol, just two weapons. These weapons can be any weapons mind you, so the developers have apparently decided that your snub pistol is as equally valuable as your gnasher is, which essentially renders the pistols in the game obsolete. I mean who in their right mind is dropping their lancer or hammerburst for a snub or boltok, unless they're showing off of course. I also disliked the reworking of the controls. Now this part may be a bit nit-picky, but the control scheme feels too generic now, like Call of Duty or Battlefield instead of Gears. It just feels wrong to play for veterans of the series. Which brings us to another disappointment to veterans. Remember how much you loved horde and beast mode? Well they're gone. But you've heard about overrun, right? Their shiny, new successor? Yeah. It falls way short of expectations. It's all kinds of fun, don't get me wrong, but it's no horde. And survival was just a disappointing, stripped down mode in general. And as if the lack of modes wasn't bad enough, the multiplayer is made laughable by humans fighting humans. So now if you want to play versus, it's red Marcus versus blue Marcus. If you want to play as a Locust, move along to overrun. On top of that, the sheer shortage of even human characters to play as was severely disappointing after the previous game's copious offerings. And then there's the addition of "character skins". Look, if people want to play CoD and shell out their hard earned cash for useless DLC, be my guest, but I've thought the idea of weapon skins in Gears was ridiculous since 3, and the addition of skins for your character such as "bee", "bacon", "candy cane", and "clown" is in direct contrast to how gritty and brutal Gears feels and is supposed to feel. The lack of active reloading could be overlooked, but I feel like the game is missing a staple action each time I reload now. Oh. And one more fun fact. Vets. Remember how in Gears 1 you could melee somebody, then blow them apart with a shotgun because it took you absolutely no time to recover? Well that's back! Thank goodness that never got old and abused! Now on to the positive aspects. I liked how fluid the movement felt, and how you could jump from high ledges now. It just felt really cool. What little multiplayer there is feels fun to play if you can ignore the fact that you just blew your own character's head off while he was dressed up in what looked like a Halloween outfit. The story itself, while unnecessary since we kind of knew the general details, was really fun, and I liked the addition of "bonus missions", so to speak, to reveal more details about what happened. The extra challenge was always welcome. I also liked how the focus was set on Baird and Cole, even though I sorta missed seeing Marcus and Dom, the series's staple protagonists. In short, this game isn't all bad. It's a big let-down to me as a veteran of the series, but as a starting point, I could see how it might not be awful. That said, it's worth playing if you're a hardcore fan of the series for the story alone if you can get it without paying too much. Just try to ignore how awkward and limited things feel at first and you might get used to it. Here's hoping that the next title in the series feels less like a stripped down Gears game trying to imitate Call of Duty and more like the bonafide, gritty, entrancing series we all know and love.… Expand

I want to preface this by saying I love Gears of War, it's my favorite game series of all time which is why it hurts to see this garbage being passed off with the Gears of War name tied to it. I assure you this is nothing more than a poorly made Gears clone. The story is contradictory (for example. Colonel Loomis tells you to never use enemy weapons, while his primary weapon is the only pistol developed by the Locust.) The gameplay is less satisfying than the other 3 games, the level design is cheap and uninspired, with a bland color filter over it to try and hide the low graphics quality(It looks worse than Gears 3)

    The squad is shoehorned into the story with near no character progression or interesting traits, they exist as nothing more than padding so you can hit the 4 person squad mark set by the previous games. The new "Declassified" missions are repetitive and while an interesting thing to add, don't make much sense in the main story. Gears of War 3 had a separate story arcade mode and something similar could have been put into Judgement to avoid these giant glaring crimson omens breaking your immersion and reminding you that you're in a game.

    The multiplayer completely ruined the feel of the past three games, deciding to pit red humans vs blue humans despite having fitting enemies for both teams. This may seem like a small thing but it is in fact a large part of the multiplayer, now it just feels like a third person generic Unreal Tournament clone, and not in a good way.

    I didn't enjoy a single moment or aspect of this game, there were NO redeemable qualities whatsoever. It's a generic, soulless cash-in that spits on the feel and general positive aspects of the Gears of War series, and is easily one of the worst games I have ever played.    … Expand

    The first Gears of War game I COULD put down. Although the gameplay feel is as solid as the rest, the story and pacing are extremely monotonous and fail to bring the magic of the rest of the series. As a Gears fan I cannot recommend this game at all and I am disappointed that this is the first in the series I simply could not be bothered to complete.

    O ultimo suspiro.

    Gears of war é sem dúvidas uma das franquias mais bem sucedidas e aclamadas do mercado,uma franquia que já vendeu 20 Milhões de cópias em três jogos,uma legião de fans por todo mundo e aficionados por Multiplayer que estão dispostos a gastar com microtransações,é claro que a microsoft iria querer mais...
    O grande problema é o quanto esse game iria custar para ser desenvolvido,nada mais nada menos que 60 MILHÕES de Dólares,Sendo que o primeiro Gears of war custou 12M e arrecadou mais de 100 Milhões,se esse game fosse um fracasso,Adeus Gears of War,adeus Epic Games,Adeus uma das franquias mais memoráveis do mercado.
    Como isso poderia dar certo?
    Um spin off,produzido por um pequeno time da Epic Games,onde não tinha experiência total com a saga,protagonizado polo Baird,antes do Gears of war 1,tinha tudo pra dar errado.
    Campanha:Duas palavras para descrever: Rasa e desinteressante,os novos personagens adicionados não tem carisma e os personagens que conhecemos não parecem o mesmo,uma campanha totalmente Arcade,onde o realismo passa longe,momentos de Hordas tediosos,e conclusão abrupta e vergonha alheia,Serio,oque foi aquele final?
    Os Gráficos são incríveis realmente uma prévia da nova geração,com exceção da Sofia Hendrik,seus olhos parecem uma adesivo colado sobre o rosto,não existe profundidade,além de ser um borrão sem resolução,estranhamente ela é a unica personagem que tem os olhos mal feitos dessa forma.
    Sem nenhum motivo mudaram todas as posições de botões do jogo,Y troca de arma,em vez dos D-pads,existe um botão específico para a granada,é interessante,deixa o jogo mais dinâmico,Agora a cada inimigo morto é dropado munição,que é adicionado a todas as armas,fazendo o jogo ser muito fácil.
    Modo Horda...Ou oque sobrou dele...:
    Não existe mais o modo horda como conhecemos,agora se chama Sobrevivência,sim esse nome genérico,tão genérico como o próprio modo,são 10 ondas apenas,com adição de classes que tem "poderes" específicos,Dar munição,Curar,Plantar sentinelas,Spotar inimigos,transforma o jogo em algo mais casual,já que para ganhar basta todos usarem engenheiros e colocar um monte de sentinelas o tempo todo,com esse modo vem o modo Invasão,que é o verdadeiro destaque,é basicamente o modo besta,mais o modo horda,com cada time sendo composta por COG ou Horda locust,só que esse modo é falho pelo simples fato de ser quase impossível vencer de COG,já que tem que defender um gerador enquanto joga,os Locusts tem muitas vantagens e existe uma evolução locusts mais fortes conforme o tempo, e os COG são sempre os mesmo durante toda a partida,é tudo questão de tempo para os Locusts vencerem,Não é impossível,mas você tem que ter um time muito bom para ganhar,por sorte não vence quem defender o gerador ou quem destruir,e sim quem defende por mais tempo(As equipes se revezam)mas mesmo assim,o progresso de jogar como COG é frustante,já que quase certo que a partida vai acabar em minutos.
    MP:
    Tudo é medíocre,okay...Mas não tem como estragar o multiplayer,é uma formula simples e que da certo...
    Errado,Eles não tiraram o Wallbounce,a gnasher ou as Power Weapows,eles apenas fizeram mudanças que estragaram tudo.
    Agora não podemos carregar 3 armas(Gnasher,lancer e pistola):Agora são apenas duas por vez,sem pistolas.
    Frag no começo da partida:todo mundo começa com frag,assim tornando o jogo uma chuva de explosivos.
    Coronha:A coronha(Meele) é muito rápida,fazendo os duelos de gnasher serem interrompidos a todo momento por aquele noob que coronha logo em seguida em que atira.(Toda arma tem coronha)
    Noobs correm do Gun fight:Já que agora você pode descer de qualquer altura,todos os jogadores fogem ao ver que estão perdendo o gun fight.
    Sawed Off:era chata no Gears 3,oque poderia ficar pior?Ela ter dois tiros,em vez de um...
    Gnasher fraca:mais fraca que o comum.
    Troca de arma muito rápida:é comum alguém metrancar e troca pra gnasher rápido e te matar,além de coronhar...
    Wallbounce interrompido:Quando você leva coronhada você para o wallbounce
    Retro-lancer arma principal:Se você souber usar,retrolancer se torna arma principal...
    Eu poderia ficar falando todos os detalhes que fazer GOW J. não ser um GOW,ele é um bom jogo ,mais não um BOM Gears,esse é o erro dele...Ter esse nome...

It is a pity that the game was ignored to optimize the Xbox One X, it is clearly more beautiful than the 3 parts.

It's truly difficult to say whether not Gears of War Judgment was really worth even making. Sure the prequel idea is cool, but the execution is extremely sloppy. The story is a recount of testimonies that each squad member gives in the form of missions that make the overall story. In the end, it ultimately doesn't lead to anything and disintegrates after the fight with the final boss. The missions themselves are so widely varied on quality that it pains me to think that this was okay after coming off with a great sequence of events in Gears 3. The Declassified modifiers can be challenging to outright suicidal, creating mild to absurd levels of frustrations at every point. The new enemies and weapons are interesting, but create a time paradox of how the previous guns and enemies even showed up in this (for instance the Kantus were never shown until 2, they stayed underground as priests to keep the shrines in check, so seeing them in J was very confusing). Make it even more a pain with the Aftermath chapter, and just so happening to have those same enemies (claimed to be have killed and NEVER shown in 3) really hurts the overall universe of Gears.

    The scrapping and downgrade of Horde shocked me. Survival is a barebones 10 wave mode that feels incredibly lazy and does even worse than Gears 2 Horde (of all things) with no real sense of accomplishment. Overrun is the mix of Horde and Beast, but the experience isn't as satisfying then those modes individually. They complement themselves awkwardly, with cooldowns on COG forces instead of ammo packs and traditional Hordeitemsthat make the game play as this weird MOBA-like that feels so conflicting in a Gears game. The main competitive multiplayer even shoots itself in the foot with COG vs COG matches (what?)....how was this even consider a good idea considering Gears multiplayer was always COG vs Locust for the last 3 games?! It makes no sense and adding that with microtransactions with overpriced stuff, it just saps the goodness out of this game so much that it turns grey and lifeless.

    Gears of War Judgement was a massive disappointment and upset for me on every level. It is still hard to debate whether a mediocre score is even being too charitable, but ultimately the combat still felt good and intense to kill stuff onscreen. It was so forgettable and such a letdown for me that I felt bad that the Gears franchise essentially shotgunned its own face off and possibly laid dead instead of sticking to 3 and having a good final hurrah.    … Expand

    Precuela quizás innecesaria. Explica un poco más en detalle a personajes como Damon Baird y Agustus Cole Train, miembros del equipo Delta en un futuro junto a los legendarios Marcus Fénix y Dominic Santiago.

    He de decir que es el único juego de la saga en el que no consigo todas las chapas de la CGO (COG) y que no finalizo en dificultad Locura. Lo he jugado en normal con un compañero y aun así me parece que la dificultad del título es de risa.

    Lo poco de la historia de lo que me he enterado me ha parecido bastante mediocre y no creo que mezclar un modo horda en ciertas misiones de la campaña sea lo mejor. Por cierto, hay 6 actos y cada uno cuenta con unas 5-7 secciones. Estas secciones tienen una duración ridícula: hemos llegado a finalizar una en apenas 2 minutos, y el resto en no mucho más.

    Supongo que con el modo online mejorará bastante (como el resto de entregas).

    Sin duda, Gears of War: Judgment es la peor entrega de la saga con diferencia, en todos los aspectos (salvo el técnico por razones obvias).

    Todas las cosas que considero que están mal:
    1: Solamente hay 4 mapas de multijugador, cuando en el 3 hay más.
    2: Los DLC son basura, completamente centrados en drenar dinero sin aportar nada importante, si acaso solo 1 mapa multijugador mientras que los otros juegos ampliaban considerablemente la cantidad de contenido (no solo contenido multijugador, sino que también aumentaban el contenido de un ugador).
    3: La historia es tonta. Enjuiciar a unos soldados por desobedecer una orden y prácticamente condenarlos a muerte por salvarle la vida a miles de personas (aunque obviamente no les pasará nada porque hay personajes principales que salen en la trilogía principal, que viene siendo el "futuro"). Además, los testimonios son excusas para jugar con todos los integrantes del equipo.
    4: El diseño de niveles es por zonas, completas una zona y avanzas a la siguiente.
    La campaña es corta, a eso se le suman las misiones "descalificatorias" que rompen el sentido y se sacan retos del orto como un añadido a la dificultad y solo sirven para alargar artificialmente la duración de la campaña.
    5: No hay contenido. Si Halo 3: ODST parecía un poco vacío en contenido, este juego es aún más vacío que ese juego ofreciendo solo 4 mapas base de multijugador y eliminando el modo horda.
    6. El juego está manchado por micro-transacciones. Esto no sería mala si después de todo pudieras desbloquear TODOS los skins haciendo cosas en el juego (como en Halo Reach), pero algunos skins TIENES que comprarlos con dinero real si los quieres.
    Sigue siendo un juego entretenido, con la misma jugabilidad divertida que los juegos anteriores, las misiones de campaña tienen una buena variedad de enemigos y el modo multijugador trae nuevos modos de juego, pero se me antoja insuficiente y no se encuentra a la altura de los otros juegos de la franquicia.

However, Gears combat has absolutely never been better. Before or since (I’m including 4&5 here). The controls have been streamlined and are much more fluid and reactive, the ai uses an adaptive spawn system similar to Left 4 Dead that makes every encounter unique and unpredictable, and the “declassify” system enables challenging rules such as limited weaponry and time countdowns that make the combat much more intense. You always feel like you’re scrambling and fighting with whatever you can get your hands on and as a result the combat becomes much more energetic and desperate feeling than other games in the series. In fact, the predictable ai patterns of the mainline games is downright boring in comparison once you get used to Judgement...

    This installment of the franchise introduces a new gameplay system that changes the way the campaign is played. The levels are short, between 5 and 10 minutes each, and I think the point system is a bit strange and unnecessary. I expected it would become annoying in the beginning, but in the end it doesn't really change much about the core Gears of War experience. Each level introduces a challenge that spices things up. I thought a lot of them were fun and creative.

    The story is boring save from a few parts towards the end. Maybe I just missed Marcus, Dom, Anya and the rest of the classic characters. The new crew doesn't leave you as attached or interested in their story. Because Baird and Cole appear in the other Gears games, this prequel doesn't have many stakes. The most interesting thing I found in the story was the overarching jury plot. The final act was amazing, with a very intense bossfight. Overall I enjoyed Gears of War: Judgement.    … Expand

    EN:
    The weakest game in the entire series. A complete arcade. Bad characters, extremely repetitive missions and terribly bad challenges and MP mode.

    SRB:
    Najslabija igra u celom serijalu. Potpuna arkada. Loši karakteri, izuzetno repetativne misije i užasno loši izazovi i MP mod.

    I enjoyed this Gear of War prequel more than most. I like Baird as a lead protagonist.

    Worst Gears of War ever made. It is not entirely unplayable. But wanting to say this for years.. Well it launched with a handful of maps lost its soul and its charm. The story wasnt bad in fact that is why I didnt give it lower than a 5. But the Multiplayer was AWFUL.

    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.

    It's Gears 3, minus pacing and ambition. It's still fantastically enjoyable, but it's easily the least interesting Gears game. [June 2013, p.64]

    Judgment shows that the People Can Fly team knows its way around triple-A titles. They managed to squeeze a lot out of Unreal Engine 3 – the game looks great even compared to Crysis 3, which set new standards in terms of visuals, also on consoles. And when the technology restrained them, they creatively found a way around limitations. [CD-Action 05/2013, p.60]

    Judgment feels a bit like an excuse to provide the Xbox 360 with one last first-party game for what is likely to be its final year as Microsoft’s flagship game platform.
