    Gears of War remains a standout title. It takes a lot for a game to draw raves nine years after its release...Gears is just that good.

    One of the best third-person shooters in history? It was and still is.

    Rebuilt in every way, and unlocking the entire Gears franchise for a value-conscious price, this truly is the Ultimate Edition of Gears of War.

    This is a remake of the original Gears of Wars for the Xbox 360 (2006). Now, it looks better than ever and contains more aspects and features, like new acts and new multiplayer options.

    Gears of War is, pun intended, the Ultimate way to experience the first entry in this stellar saga. It’s brilliant as always gameplay wise, and the graphical upgrades takes the experience to the next level. That said, if you don’t care for multiplayer the rest of the content will make you wish for a Gears of War: Marcus Phoenix Collection.

    The campaign has aged pretty poorly and the graphical updates to the campaign side of Gears of War feel half-baked, so unless you're really excited for the competitive part of Gears of War, there's nothing for you here.

    Gears 1 foi um do títulos que mais influenciou a industria,nada melhor do que reviver esse clássico a 1080P na nova geração,com todo conteúdo presente,e o melhor,o melhor Remake da história.
    Este jogo mostra como uma remasterização deve ser feita, é absolutamente perfeita, gráficos realmente impressionantes que você pode ver foram cuidadosamente feitos nos mínimos detalhes,Iluminação,modelos de personagens,até a gameplay foi aperfeiçoada,Gears esta em boas mão.
    Um ato inteiro da campanha foi adicionada,foram excluída da versão original por questões de Hardware,agora eu entendo,ver o Brumak de tão perto é realmente incrível.
    O multiplayer que tomou o maior destaque,o modelos dos personagens são so mesmos da campanha,e isso corre a 60FPS cravados sem nem se quer um delay de renderização,se você aproximar com a sniper nos personagens,verá que eles possuem os mesmos detalhes da campanha,olhos rachados,armaduras riscadas,tudo está perfeitamente renderizado.
    Esse é um daqueles jogos que é obrigatório na sua coleção.
    Só não é nota 10 por conta de não ser tão atualizado para os moldes de hoje.    … Expand
