    Gears of war,É o jogo mais revolucionário da 7ª Geração de consoles:

    Quando pensamos em mecânicas que ditaram o mundo dos games,vem na cabeça Quick time events,Z-targeting,vida regenerativa,ou o simplesmente "Pular na cabeça de um inimigo" para mata-los,são mecânicas simples,que fazem total diferença entre um bom jogo e um jogo medíocre,anos de industria até que alguém tenha essa ideia de mecânica.
    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.

    When I initially bought my Xbox one of the franchises that I really wanted to play was this one, Gears of War.

So I bought Gears 1, 2 and 3 with the sole intention of sitting down and playing all 3 and eventually playing the 4th iteration as well.

    If you’re like me and have never played a Gears of War game before its a third-person cover shooter with a strong emphasis on the cover. The reason why its a strong emphasis on the cover mechanic is because although Gears isn’t necessarily the first they popularized it. Almost every Third-Person shooter post Gears of War has a cover mechanic. This makes Gears of War one of the most influential games of all time.

    This is a game that I think has aged very well. I have really enjoyed the shooting which feels tight, the cover mechanics work very well, the active reload is great and I wish more shooters would use that. I don’t know why that didn’t become popular. The story its self is okay and I look forward to playing 2 and 3 just so I can get to know the characters a little better.    … Expand

    Déjà à l'époque, ça ne m'avait pas beaucoup plu et le temps n'a rien arrangé à l'affaire, car il ne s'agit en fin de compte que d'un nouveau principe (le TPS à couverture) surexploité et repris sur bien des jeux plus tard, notamment les Mass Effect pour ne citer qu'eux (et avec quel brio pour leur part !).

    Le gros souci ne réside pas tant dans son caractère bourrin (bien au contraire) mais dans sa maniabilité pataude, son imprécision terrible à la manette (pas le choix pourtant, il est censé avoir été conçu en ce sens !) et cette phase où on doit jouer à cache-cache avec un monstre qu'on ne peut pas tuer et qu'il faut attirer à l'extérieur : un vrai calvaire.

    En effet, la caméra qui fait de la merde lorsqu'on court, l'angle de vision limité et la lenteur du gros con sont rédhibitoires. En outre, pourquoi une telle phase au juste ? le "rayon de l'aube" est déjà une belle connerie en soi mais s'il faut se taper une séance de roulades dans des salles exigües, ça devient vraiment ridicule. Pourquoi ne pas assumer le côté bourrin jusqu'au bout ? Bref, ça en fait des soucis !

    Cela dit, Gears n'est pas entièrement mauvais (en dehors du fait qu'il n'est qu'un long couloir scripté bien entendu) et le principe de la couverture reste excellent, les graphismes superbes, les effets sonores sont au poil et la VF hilarante. Si Gears s'était cantonné au jeu de gros beaufs qui tache au lieu de s'éparpiller dans des conneries de rayons et de roulades, il aurait pu être un honnête divertissement. Quel dommage !    … Expand

    Gears of War was a good game to look back on. Many saw it as a alternative to Halo on the Xbox 360 and begun a chain of competition tournaments that made a franchise over the span of a decade.

Many saw it as a alternative to Halo on the Xbox 360 and begun a chain of competition tournaments that made a franchise over the span of a decade. For others (myself included), it was also a interesting and cool beginning for a franchise that could also deliver a fun campaign. I want to say that Gears of War had alot of problems (when looking to its sequels to see what improvements were needed and what was lost), but I enjoyed it as a potentially great game waiting to be unleashed when its sequel would come. I also want to say that I came late to the party years after release and through a party of competitive people, I grew a bit tired of the multiplayer despite it being the main selling point.

    The issues Gears of War had was its campaign was too short and reused too many enemies and the plot was convoluted with questions that did not answer. Multiplayer wise, P2P servers made host have the best connection and truly could annihilate whole teams by themselves if they had enough skill to prove it. It was the biggest sin the game could commit and I do not agree with veterans and fans of this game that its fair. The game also ran at 30 FPS on consoles, while PC was 60 which makes combat far too slow and it was easy to become frustrated with the input lag and slowness that its why some consider its fanbase one of the most toxic at one point.

    I want to say though that the game is still good. I love the violent bloody killing with the chainsaw Lancers, the reload active concept is very creative and a risk/reward system that works and the way co-op worked in the campaign was really fun for couch play. I do think a 7/10 means a game is good, but its potential is not fully realized and is lacking as a result. It would come to no surprise that the future titles (for the most part) improve on this and make it one of the Xbox flagships of modern day.    … Expand

    Gears of War is a great game to play with friends via split-screen. The campaign is very fun and worth going through at least once. But where Gears of War lacks, is in it's multiplayer. As far as I'm concerned, it has one of the worst multiplayer modes I've played in a Triple-A shooter. I don't love this game like others do, but I do like it.

    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。

But while its story doesn’t manage to be as captivating and profound as its “Mad World” trailer, it’s still one that without a doubt will leave the player intrigued and interested. However, it lacks a development that helps understanding it better, but a game like this is not supposed to be narrative-driven.

    The gameplay it has is intense and capable of keeping anyone hooked. The enemies are well designed, both the AI and mechanics, along with the variety of these offered throughout the whole story mode, are more than enough to make you have 10 hours full of fun. Its gloomy and dreadful atmosphere, packed together with its sound effects and soundtrack will definitely manage to immerse you in the impressive world at War mood the game tries to transmit.

    There’s not much to say about Gears of Wars, except that it’s a 12-year old gem, that even today, is considered one of the best third-person shooters found in any console, and it without a doubt deserves that title.    … Expand

The mechanic of "you jump in the dark, you die from the krill in 1.5 seconds" was somewhat savage and while added something interesting to the world it could have been implemented quite less aggressively. Weapon feel is great and aiming and shooting mechanics are native to the Xbox 360 controller. The engine was really impressive and the detail unseen before. However a lot of the game featured the same muddy dark and brown undertones which wouldn't highlight the those capabilities for a large section of it. I always felt that grenades played a secondary role in the game due to the inventory controls they require; you have more options like tagging enemies with them but I thing they tend to get used less often.… Expand

    Gears of war was a next gen master piece to some back in 2006 but in 2021 the game has aged like milk, this is not the games fault itself but the onslaught of generic 3ps games that followed using similar mechanics and engines, this may be my first time playing gears of war but i feel like iv played it a million times already

    STORY: who cares you get to kill monsters    Gears of war was a next gen master piece to some back in 2006 but in 2021 the game has aged like milk, this is not the games fault itself but the onslaught of generic 3ps games that followed using similar mechanics and engines, this may be my first time playing gears of war but i feel like iv played it a million times already

    STORY: who cares you get to kill monsters ............................. OK fine you play as Doom Fenix chief guy who was court martialed for some reason ( the game never says) or dose any characterization besides the character designs and the fact that Dom and Marcus are good buddy's and watch each others backs , so yeah kill monsters save the world nut with plot holes , lots of plot holes , why was Marcus in jail ? why did only baried know they were at marcus's house , why did the resonator not work then in the same cut scene another character hacks something non chalantly making the entire mission pointless i donno and neither dose the game
    STory: 3/10

    World building: the world is a little more realized than the story , enemy's interact with the world in believable ways , bats hate light and die from it , suicidy enemy's run at you and blow up , alien high honors guards , despite the locusts being neither bugs nor aliens the are a mole people that dig and have their own language and stuff it seems , but who cares what their society is or why they are trying to kill humans they are cannon fodder
    World building: 6/10

    Graphics : the game is brown and black and dark its EDGY and that's how we liked our games back in 2006 but now i had a hard time even seeing straight , this game is ugly very ugly , the scale is also off , Marcus is huge and has huge armour yet everything is bigger than him so he can take cover , only models that are any good are the character models , even the guns are awkwardly sized and shaped but for 2006 the game looks OK just ok
    graphics 5/10

    Gameplay : this is a hard one for me to judge the gameplay to me was really repetitive and generic but i know this game was the first to be repetitive and generic 3rd person shooter , it popularized the cover mechanic witch iv seen done before , maybe not this well but its been done before mostly in stealth action shooters, but this is much more fluid than that with halo influenced dual stick design and a more powerful engine . the shooting is ok i guess , the shot gun was a highlight as shotguns usually are in shooters , the automatics had about as much punch as a 12 year old bully's slingshot the sniper was very situational and the triple burst gun was just awful , revolver was fun and powerful and i used it the whole game as soon as i could , bolt gun was weird but useful at times , the chainsaw was easily the coolest and clunkiest part of the game , this game takes time to get good at witch i like. checkpoints where almost always before a cut scene of story bit so if you died you would have to listen to the same dialogue over and over again until it pissed you off so much you stopped dying , i bet the coop was fun as its constantly splitting you and a partner up going down different paths and the like , over all the gameplay was good , it was definitely designed by gamers and it shows
    Gameplay: 7/10

    Sound design: voice acting was very good when a character speaks I believed what they were saying , gun sounds for the most part are good , shot gun again being the best , in 2006 there are some clever tricks , screams are louder than most other audio ( I hated this cause I was a playing late at night while every ones asleep but cant fault the game for that ) over all the audio quality was good

    the game is pretty boring, I could not play it for a long time, a maximum of 1 act per day, I do not understand the ratings of players and critics. Everything in this game is boring, especially skirmishes (further spoilers)

    in the first chapter you are told the whole story at the beginning
    you are told to find the Alpha group, but before you find them there will be some boring firefights, you find Cole and then Baird you find a hammer that can kill the sowers and the berserk, you kill them and this ends the first act

    the whole story is boring and the only thing that is not bad in this game is the final boss battle and the end of each act

    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.
