    Nearly perfect. The game came out with a bang back in 2005 and exploded past all the competition. This game had something special about it and wasn't afraid to show it. The graphic's were great and the game play was even better. I truly love getting head shots my self something special about it. All and all a great game and one of my favorites to play, of all time!

The lighting and textures have insane detail, and no other game- not even Gears of War 3- can match its graphics. As the first ever game to use the most common game engine of this generation, its technological achievement is astounding. The gameplay is so original, and the controls are the best for a third person shooter because they are fast and fluent. I've come from Gears 2 and 3 to play this and you really CANNOT tell that this game is old. It was one of the first games to have co-op splitscreen in campaign, and the gameplay, controls, graphics and campaign are still amazing today. Another thing that is astonishing is the A.I. I have completed the other two games on Insane and playing through this on Hardcore puts them to shame. Unlike the other two the AI on here seem to analyse your position relative to other enemies and can judge when to advance. In most other shooters the AI just sit there behind cover, wheras on here they seem dynamic. As a result, the game is made more challenging, which is always welcome. Not only was Gears of War way ahead of its time, but the gameplay and controls were so original and unique that now you have games that try to copy its style, like Warhammer Space Marine. For its time, this was definitely the best shooter on X360 without a doubt. The graphics on this game just go to show how little advancements have been made for console shooters due to the hardware's limited performance. I'd highly recommend this game if you like a good shooter and especially if you've played other Gears games.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gears of War was one of the first games I played on the 7th gen consoles. I was fairly young at the time I played this (around 13 years old, I think?), and to this day consider Gears of War one of the best third person shooters ever developed.

    Story-wise, this game would be passed of as decent. But the story isn't the bread and butter of this game. No, the bread and butter is everything else. Atmosphere, voice acting, characters, enemies, chaos, blood and gore, guns, and controls/combat mechanics.

    Every stage in the campaign is memorable. I first played this game back in 2008 when I was thirteen. I'm nineteen now, and I can recite to you every single moment, every word that's said, and the layout of each stage. Why? Because this game is unforgettable. As mentioned before, the story is a bit flat, but the combat, dialogue, and atmosphere makes up for lack of story. Hell, it pretty much IS the story.

    The enemies are unique and terrifying. Take the Corpser for example. The Corpser is a giant spider-crab hybrid that digs huge tunnels for the rest of the Locust (the enemy) to travel through. Not to mention, it's strong enough to level entire buildings.

    The guns are another unique attraction this game offers. Take the Lancer for example. It's an assault rifle with a mounted chainsaw on it. Tell me, what other game has that?

    The developers hit it out of the park with the characters. Every one of them had there own personality. The developers also nailed the voice actors for them.

    The atmosphere of this game is dark and gritty, and leaves you wondering. There's destruction everywhere, monsters around every corner, and enough blood and gore to fill the ocean with.

    The game would be perfect, if it weren't for a few flaws. I'll list them now:
    -Sometimes, the fighting can be a little repetitive. However, there is always a way that makes the fight feel fresh. This is most likely because of the fantastic game design.
    -The game can feel a little too dark. Lighting isn't this game's strong suit, but many things make up for that.
    -The story isn't very well explained, and the ending doesn't bring everything together or reveal anything. But, many things make up for that.
    -The boss battles are kinda lame. For example: The battle with the Corpser was very disappointing. In order to kill it, you must push/fight it back into lava. The way to do this, is to stand still and wait for the Corpser to attack, and then shoot it in the mouth. Yeah, it was that easy.
    -I can't say much for the multiplayer of this game. I barely played it, mainly because I didn't have Xbox LIVE until Gears of War 3. However, I can say that in ALL of the Gears of War games, the multiplayer is ruined by just one gun: The Gnasher shotgun.

    Over-all, Gears of War is fantastic. While the lighting wasn't great, the boss battle laughable, and the story flat... the characters, voice acting, atmosphere, fun-factor, combat(while sometimes repetitive), and gameplay mechanics made up for them. I give Gears of War a sold 9/10.    … Expand

A successor to the XBOX's "Halo" franchise, "Gears of War" pushed the 360's graphical capabilities to the extreme. Developed on the Unreal Engine (which also powered "Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory"), its animated characters and locations seemed to be the most visually detailed creations in a video game at the time. With its highly-kinetic action gameplay and cinematic visual grandeur, "Gears of War" existed on entirely different plane than other similar titles in '06. Its beefy protagonists Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago lead a band of brothers into battle to stop a massive alien army from invading the Earth. If there was ever a Hollywood action blockbuster made exclusively for video game consoles, this is it. This is an extremely satisfying shooter than almost feels like an interactive action movie at times. The "pop 'n stop" cover system works like a charm and the visceral gunfights deliver in a big way. "Gears of War" is a great and gritty game that all fans of action should try at least once. It's that good. 9.5 out of 10.… Expand

    Very good game, recommend it to everyone. I'm not a fan of third person shooters but this game is still worth 9/10. The story is strong and dark. Gameplay is almost flawless. Some few annoying moments is when the chainsaw on the Lancer gets stuck if your too near enemies, but it's probably to prevent it to be overpowered. The hammer of dawn is pretty fun. I tested co-op. Multiplayer not tested.

    I remember how gritty and gory I thought Gears of War was when it first came out. That's a thing of the past, but I definitely look back fondly at this first entry in the series. My friends and I had a blast and probably spent the most time in competitive multiplayer amongst the entries in the series. The story was dark and it was overall an entertaining experience.

The chainsaws, bombs, brain-plattering headshots, and gore are just the beginning of what is truly a tactical TPS game that defines what Next-Gen means. Props to MS and Epic for giving us such an awesome game and I can't stopping thinking about it as I'm typing this...must go play now.

Gears was the watershed in third-person shooters, that's the point. And also importantly, unlike Kill Switch, Gears of War turned out to be a great, critically acclaimed and best seller video game and one of the most important ever released.

    It's clear Gears wanted to establish a new video game universe. However the game itself does not exude a deep lore and an important introduction is made in the game's manual, which would have been better if made as an in-game opening video instead. The plot flows well and is engaging from start to finish, the characters work, Marcus is iconic and the writing of the game is solid enough to keep the whole thing up, while being nothing special and at times even a bit mediocre. The plot effectively gives a sad, dark and "last hope" mood.

    Gears made the TPSs gameplay as we know it today, which is not how we knew it before Gears. The gameplay structure is solid and did not aged much, it's still contemporary. The cover system, not new but innovative in how it's implemented, works great. The system leads to stay behind a cover position and to choose with the analog stick where to move to the next cover, like the player is being guided, performing various tactical moves. Gears also notably introduced mechanics like blind fire while behind cover and shooting by the hip, which would become widespread in the genre. The game has slower pacing than other TPSs, character movement is clunky and heavy. The enemy AI is very good and aggressive, it's not rare that, despite the slow pacing, locusts launch fierce assaults, pushing forward combat and even flanking, effectively nullifying cover and forcing movement. This way, the gameplay ensures very engaging shootouts, also thanks to a great level design, for the most part. "Active reload" mechanic is interesting: push RB to reload, let the reload finish or risk and push RB again; if done well-timed the reload will be faster, if not, the weapon will jam and slow the reload. It's nice that sometimes the player can choose different paths for reaching the level objectives, even if this only has a limited impact. I did not find the squad orders particularly useful, whether they are used or not seems to make little difference; allied AI doesn't seem as smart as enemies'. The game is violent, with a high gore rate.

    But Gears is not perfect. The game's communication of the player's health is impractical, the whole screen color should communicate health status, instead of a symbol around the reticle. Grenade launch system uses a weird trajectory, it does not allow a complete movement of the view downside. The design here was simply immature for such a watershed game. Now the serious flaws. The game is playable in single-player but it's clear how many parts were made above all, I repeat above all, with the coop in mind, which can lead to irritating situations with allied AI; this could have influenced design of some parts within the "Insane" skill level, since "oh, well, it's doable in coop so who cares". Which is not good nor honest, Epic, cause the game has been sold also as a single-player game. Similarly, except for the lower "Casual" skill level, enemies take too much damage to die, as the skill level increases both their damage and health, making them annoying bullet sponges: a helmetless drone locust should die with a single head shot by any kind of firearm; it doesn't. Generally, there is a too large gap between the lowest and the two highest skill levels. Lancer chainsaw bayonet executions leave the player vulnerable to damage: that's lack in game design basics. Checkpoints are misplaced, sometimes not only for the purpose of artificially increasing difficulty, but simply out of bad design, making the player repeat boring parts after reload.

    Graphically, I mean, it's Gears of War. It was Unreal Engine 3's technology showcase game and aged very well. Those graphics were incredible in 2006, showing Xbox 360 power and it's a nice game to look at even today, especially in environments and models visuals, with solid frame rate performance. We all wanted to play Gears after watching the historical graphically accurate Kosinki preview trailer with Mad World. Everyone wanted to "jump in", even those who waited more than a decade to, like I did.

    With Gears of War video game history was made, to the point of it symbolising a whole era. A game with great gameplay and an out-of-scale technical side, which gathered the past, gave a new face to an entire genre and contributed the most to a new wave of games. It has some serious flaws but they are overwhelmed by what good the game offers nonetheless. It's a recommended video game for all lovers of the genre, even worth getting an Xbox 360 for it today.    … Expand

By all rights, it ought to be too boringly familiar. And yet it *is* better than most of the others.

    Maybe its the fact that -- even for a game of its vintage -- the animations and textures are superbly done. Or maybe its the fact that the gameplay, especially in co-op mode, is fast, fluid and fun. Or maybe it is that writing and voice acting are top-notch, making the player really engrossed in the characters' stories. They even got Futurama's Bender to voice the main character, Marcus Fenix (Not that you'd notice, the actor sounds completely different in this).

    Or maybe it is that the characters' main weapon is a rifle that doubles as a chainsaw and that you can use it to tear the bad guys right in half.

    Oque era pra ser um jogo esquecível,se tornou um dos maiores títulos do Xbox 360 e de toda a indústria,Porque?
    Por "Inventar" uma mecânica que se tornaria padrão em toda a industria,O Sistema de Cover.
    Antes disso,ao se falar em jogos de tiro,pensávamos nos grandes FPS da industria,Halo,DOOM,Half Life,Gears Of War chegou para mudar isso,trazendo um jogo ÚNICO,um TPS que daria exemplo a grandes títulos que viriam no futuro,além de um Gameplay revolucionário,trouxe a primeira amostra da Next Gen,com gráficos absurdos,mostrando o poder da Unreal Engine 3,que se tornou a Engine mais utilizada nesse console e a mais popular entre os desenvolvedores,a historia tem um ótimo "Feeling" porém não muito expressiva,era um universo grande a ser explorado,mas não usado da maneira certa,o foco fica inteiramente no "Oque esta acontecendo" do que de "Como aconteceu".
    A base dos inimigos são uma aula de como se fazer uma campanha,nada de inimigos repetidos,existem diversas formas de locusts(Inimigos do jogo) que definem o level design das fases,enquanto uns inimigos atacam de longe,outros flanqueiam,assim o jogo de instiga a nunca ficar parado no mesmo lugar matando um a um,é uma sacada inteligente para trazer desafio ao jogo,existem no total "14" inimigos,no qual são as espécies e funções dentro da Horda.
    Drones:São os inimigos comuns da Horda,usam metralhadoras e shotguns,são a maioria.
    Snipers:Usam Rifles de precisão "Longshot".
    Granadeiros:Costumam ser suicidas em situações criticas.
    Theron Guards:Usam arcos explosivos,extremamente precisos e usam "Sobre-tudo" vermelhos(Muito estiloso,por sinal)
    Krills:Não são da Horda locust,são uma espécie de morcegos e atacam apenas no escuro,devoram a vitima em segundos,sendo ela humana,ou locust(São usadas no Level Design em fases no escuro)
    Boomers:São os peso-pesados da Horda,muito resistentes e lerdos,usam lança foguetes.
    Seeders:Animais subterrâneos do Planeta,escravizados e cobertos por armaduras pelos Locusts,lançam Nemacyst* como forma de defesa.
    Nemacyst*:Os Nemacyst são basicamente lulas voadores que tentam voar e colidir com você, para que possam esguichar seu ácido semelhante a tinta em cima de você. Enquanto voam, eles deixam um rastro distinto de ácido escuro
    Berserkers:São as fêmeas dos locusts,extremamente raivosas e de ataque corpo a corpo,não fazem parte da Horda,são escravizadas pelos locusts para reprodução,sua pele é extremamente resistente logo armas convencionais não lhe causam danos,apenas fogo pode derrota-la.
    Wretches/Wretches Brilhantes:São uma espécie de animal domesticado da Horda,usado como cachorro de guerra,são extremamente ágeis e conseguem saltar a distancias sobrehumanas/Wretches Brilhantes são os mesmos que os Wretches normais,só que estão infectados por uma espécie de doença que será apresentado no LORE;Ao morrerem explodem.
    Reavers:São a montaria aérea da Horda,atiram com armas acopladas e carregam Guardas Theron em suas costas(Mostrados anteriormente)
    Corpser:Mini-chefes aracnídeos Gigantes,Outro animal subterrâneo dominados pela Horda.
    General-Raam:Chefe final do jogo;
    Depois de toda essa explicação de como são os inimigos de Gears of war,fica fácil de entender como o Gameplay FUNCIONA,e por que o game é tão aclamado por fãn e pela critica.

    O principal do jogo ao meu ver fica em relação ao multiplayer,Seria o primeiro passo para garantir uma legião de Fans com sua Gameplay unica em todo mercado,ficou em Primeiro lugar dos jogos mais jogados da Xbox Live,sendo superado apenas pelo lançamento de Halo 3,um ano depois.
    O MP consistia em batalhas 5X5 de COG Contra Locusts(Apenas os Humanoides) em batalhas
    de arenas,O jogo funcionava da seguinte forma:Todos os jogadores nasciam com as mesmas armas(Shotgun,Rifle,Smoke e Pistola) e por todo o mapa haviam armas poderosas(Snipers,Bazoocas,Arcos),uma formula simples e perfeita,isso tudo aliado a sistema de cover fazia o jogo ser único e viciante.
    O sistema de cover definiu como seria os TPS a partir de então,e grandes desenvolvedoras apostaram nessa formula,inclusive GTA IV em 2008.

    Simply a fantastic shooter with great visuals, gunplay and atmosphere even despite its weak story.

    The original "Gears of War" is one of the best shooters ever made. It was THE reason to own an Xbox 360. I first saw it being played at my community college in 2006 and I was blown away. This wasn't "Halo" or "Unreal Tournament", but a new brutal sci-fi game that managed stand apart from the rest. GOW is a real classic that stands the test of time. I would rate it with a 9.4 out of 10.

    令人大开眼界的系列第一作，每次拉电锯都让人血脉贲张，这款原创的第一方游戏让XBOX360成为一台热门的主机。
    但这篇评论主要讲缺点——网络对战只支持4V4，其中散弹枪的威力太大，而完美装弹的狙击枪也太过强。其实本质是完美装弹太容易，虽然连续完美装弹后进度条会越来越细，但在我看来还是没太大难度。把对手打倒后，将烟雾弹插在他的屁股上很有趣。
    普通难度兰姆将军4颗手雷直接带走，而最高难度却需要双人联机配合才能制胜。    令人大开眼界的系列第一作，每次拉电锯都让人血脉贲张，这款原创的第一方游戏让XBOX360成为一台热门的主机。

    The hallmark of Gears' weapon design is the balance of powerful tools with critical, exploitable weaknesses, and it's executed with real finesse.

    If you're a graphics whore, you absolutely, positively need to pick this game up. To say that Gears of War features "next-gen graphics" is a gross understatement. It's got the most impressive graphics ever seen in a video game, and the stellar art direction only makes it more beautiful.
