    Easy 8 out of 10 in 2023. Yes, I have just started playing Gears series, but this game delivers everything right. Design is great and unique, music and sound is exceptional, gameplay is great looking back 10 years ago. All in all absolutely genuine product without any overflows.

    This is my very first Gears of War game. The game looks and feels amazing, it has some breathtaking views and atmospheric locations. This is not a game that you play for the story (cause there is no one) but just to relax and have some fun with friends.

The exploration of the scenarios is reinforced with the usual mechanics of searching for collectibles to unlock, in this case, comic pages. In short, if you're in the mood for a third-person shooter, pure, unabashed action, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition delivers it without a hitch, for 8 to 10 hours of straightforward, adrenaline-fuelled fun.… Expand

    Was enjoying this game from the beginning until the end. Actually, it was my first game on XBOX one. I have always wanted to try this game but was not able to due to my PC specification and when the original was released I did not have XBOX 36O as well. Therefore, as soon I got XBOX ONE I got XBOX Game Pass and this beauty was my first game. Was enjoying the single-player campaign and the combat.

I'd never even played a gears game before this one, and my GOD was this a great start. It looks great even now, and the game itself- It's so good. The story is the worst in gears history, no doubt. Not that it's bad, it's just every other game made me cry (Excluding gears 4, but that was still awesome). I don't think an amazing story was needed in this game, so it didn't lessen the experience for me. But there's one thing that did. The **** blind monolith guy who you fight like 3 times and it's always AWFUL. But besides that, 10/10. With it, hard 9.… Expand

Additionally, drop in/drop out cooperative play is now an option.

    The Ultimate Edition includes every multiplayer map ever made for the original game and the framerate for competitive play has been increased to 60 frames per second. Furthermore, "Team Deathmatch" and "King of the Hill" are newly added modes. So if you've never played "Gears" before, then this remaster is the best way to experience it. But even if you have, you'll probably still enjoy this upgrade. There's nothing quite like this series. It's fast and brutal and can be a lot of fun with friends. While the franchise has evolved and improved considerably, this first installment is still worth revisiting in upgraded form. I'd rate it with an 8.2 out of 10.    … Expand

    I've never played the Gears of War games, mostly because I never had an Xbox 360, but now with Ultimate Edition I can finally say what I think of this game...and boy do i have things to say.

    STORY: One day and without any warning monsters suddenly appeared out of nowhere and starting to rekt our sh*t. The human kind didn't like that so what better way to destroy the monsters that are trying to destroy your civilization...than by shooting down some lasers and destroy the civilization yourself?

    You play as a prisoner named Marcus Fenix. This guy was originally a soldier, but due to some sort of betrayal Marcus was sent to prison. But after some events that are never shown Marcus gets out of prison and along with the help of other soldiers and the "Control" Marcus has the objective to basically do whatever task the higher ups gives to his team and kill some monsters.

    That's a really abridge version of the plot, but that's because there's not that much going on in the story. Plot points like Marcus's father are never revealed, character interactions never lead to anything and overall it doesn't explain anything about the world we live in. It is a TPS where you shoot f*ckers with a shotgun, so I don't expect anything grand for the story, but if you're gonna introduce plot points at least explain them or do something with them...ANYTHING! But *sigh* I guess that's why we have sequels.

    PRESENTATION: When people say this is a "sloppy remaster" I get honestly confused. Ultimate Edition not only upscales de resolution, but also reworks the graphical aspect from the ground up and the result is a game that might as well have been from this generation of consoles.

    My biggest problem with GOW in the 360 was the rather dull and uninspired color pallet, I get that it's a War setting, but I'm pretty sure that the real world has more colors than f*cking grey! Ultimate Edition still doesn't have a varied color pallet, but it is a heck of alot more detailed and colorful than the original ever was, especially in the later half of the game.

    Character models, lighting effects, animations, textures, cutscenes, environments, everything looks TONS better than the original Xbox 360 version...however it does come at a cost. While the game looks good I feel like they could've toned down those graphics, if it meant that the game would run at 60fps. Just like I said in my R&C review, shooters are ALWAYS better with a high frame rate and it's disappointing that Ultimate Edition doesn't do this, 30fps doesn't completely ruin the game, but it does make the gameplay feel less smooth and tight, especially when the game starts to chug when there's too much stuff happening at once. I am happy that Microsoft actually putted some effort here instead of simply upsacling the resolution (looking at you God Of War 3 Remastered), but I still would've preferred 60fps over shiny visuals.

    I'll just get this out of the way and say that sadly the music, while fitting for the moments of gameplay, was honestly forgettable and bland. And don't say to me that shooters can't have catchy music, because DOOM's theme song still exists.

    GAMEPLAY: I wasn't expecting much in terms of the mechanics, seeing how this is one of the first TPS games out there and a 2006 TPS at that, but surprisingly not only do the mechanics still hold up, but they're among the best shooter mechanics I've ever seen, even compared to games of today, they're so good in fact that I consider them nearly perfect!

    The core gameplay is this: You run with the A button and take cover automatically when you run into something, you point with the left trigger, shoot with the right one, you can shoot without aiming, you switch weapons with the D-Pad, do melee with B, recharge with another trigger and give orders with another trigger, which I'll explain in a sec. This may sound very basic, and to be honest it is, however what makes this gameplay so especial is in the little things.

    To recharge you don't only press a button, but you also gotta time it just right so that it recharges faster, not only to shoot, but also chainsaw enemies to death with the same weapon. Everything feels fast and kinetic in this game and I love more because of it.

    Tho one complain I do have is with the variety, or lack thereof. The mechanics are fun, but I recommend playing this in short burst, because it will get repetitive in a few hours. All you do for 95% of the game is shoot with barely anything to shake it up and that's honestly a very big flaw right there.

    Boss battles do require some strategy, but they don't do much, and figuring out how to defeat them is not really that hard, but they are at least a bit more than just bullet sponges.

    I could go on and on with the rest of the features of the game, but at this point I said everything I wanted to say. Overall this game, while not perfect, it's still a good time and a good investment if you have a Xbox One.

    I'll give it an 8/10    … Expand

    A nice remaster with some additional content for long time Gears fans. It's not hard to see why those levels were cut from the original game in the first place, but they still add some extra depth to the campaign that anyone into the series will appreciate.

The multiplayer is fun, though it is disappointing that they didn't add any cool gamemodes and just left it as it is, which I guess is what some people were looking for.

    The graphics look great, and aside from very minor glitches that I found the game was well polished, and the audio was great as always. They made some minor gameplay changes that appeared in later games, but just enough so it didn't feel like a completely different game.

    My only disappointment is a lack of game modes and extras. I think if they added score attack from Gears 3, some of the cool multiplayer game modes from later games then I would probably raise it to a 9. Otherwise, it is still great, especially since it was only $40. It is cheaper now, so even with Gears 4 coming out I would recommend it for any fans or people just wanting a fun third person shooter.    … Expand

    The original Gears was clunky and muddy and glitchy and not very good. However this remastered version has thrown away crappy Gears 1 and replaced it with Gears 3 modded to Gears 1 stats.

Thing is, there's more to this gorgeous title than just eye candy. Coalition seems to think it has revitalized the already amazing franchise, and I'm hard pressed to disagree

    It also helps that the combat's thoroughly enjoyable, albeit a bit basic by today's standards. What we have is a beefed up Gears of War 1, as Marcus guns down enemies, snaps to cover, pops out and takes down a handful of bad guys, including those aforementioned locust, wretches, and some bosses like the brumac that take hundreds of bullets to destroy. The developers even tossed in the best multiplayer Gears experience that I've ever played.

    The dedicated servers are lackluster compared to other Xbox One exclusives. Halo 5 plays perfectly fine for me, while Gears of War Ultimate Edition has frequent player skipping.

    Overall, a good remaster. I wish they would've fixed some issues with the original game instead of trying to keep it exactly the same, but I guess they were scared of some people raging over the removal of glitches and outdated aiming. Nonetheless Gears of War retains its original fun with stunning visuals to go with it.    … Expand

The movement is excellent and you can no longer sense the characters´ clunkiness that defined the first installment of this franchise. It is essential that you play alongside your team or you won´t last long.

    First things first I love the Gears series and this is more than a remaster with extra missions added in and a new multiplayer mode but the original had issues that this remaster failed to solve.

    Graphics: This is the main focus of the game and it is good looking, the textures looks smooth and the characters seem real but it feels wrong, Gears of War 3 looked better than Gears of War:    First things first I love the Gears series and this is more than a remaster with extra missions added in and a new multiplayer mode but the original had issues that this remaster failed to solve.

    Graphics: This is the main focus of the game and it is good looking, the textures looks smooth and the characters seem real but it feels wrong, Gears of War 3 looked better than Gears of War: UE which seems cartoon-ish with regards to the graphics, it's the same style they used Gears of War: Judgement and we all remember how well that game did. 8/10

    Gameplay: The gameplay of the original GOW was clunky but also ground breaking at the time, GOW:UE refines the gameplay and makes it smoother but again GOW:3 did it better, I know they were trying to capture the spirit of the original game but by today's standards the original game sucks, I think it should have played like a slowed down GOW:3 rather than a sped up GOW:1. They also failed to fix the AI, the team mates are useless, I never saw them do something useful once, this was most predominant with the fight with RAAM with Dom charging at him even though I ordered him to cease fire, the AI was a mess they should have cleaned up but instead they left it. 7/10

    Changes: Most of the changes are cosmetic such as graphics and character movements but they also changed the structure of the cut-scenes, adding and removing segments and changing the pacing to make it fell more natural and for the most part it works well with the exception of a few scenes feeling like they were glued together post haste. 9/10

    Multiplayer: I won't score this because I think it would be unfair, but I hated the Gears of War:1 multiplayer because it was a mess, if you got the power weapons you had won and they decided to keep this structure in the Ultimate Edition where they should have ditched it for the better GOW:3 multiplayer where it was down to skill.

    Overall: A faithful recreation of an old classic but a little too faithful.

    It's really nice to play Gears again, now thankfully on XBOX ONE. I happen to like playing it on the ONE controller, and the 1080p graphics in multiplayer adds to the overall experience. The game looks good and is perhaps one of the best remasters I've seen yet -- sadly, the game does run in 60 frames, but not in campaign. I would say 30 at best; 20 in split-screen.

The multiplayer is still surprisingly robust, and should be seen as the most appealing part of the package.… Expand

    Excellent a perfect HD remasterd edition,Best remaster I have played to date.And the multiplayer,ahh this is the fuc..g best :)Additionally, the move to 60fps makes a huge difference and it's the most comprehensive map offering of any Gears to date. Going one step further, the dedicated servers are a God-send as they remove the historically terrible host advantage and provide extremelyExcellent a perfect HD remasterd edition,Best remaster I have played to date.And the multiplayer,ahh this is the fuc..g best :)Additionally, the move to 60fps makes a huge difference and it's the most comprehensive map offering of any Gears to date.

    The Coalition has done a superb job of reminding us why we fell in love with Gears back in 2006.

    It's an HD edition that fully respects the importance of the original game for the tps genre. It's a technically sound restyle that maintains the content of the original without trying to revolutionize it. It's impressive how well the game has aged, really.

    Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition definitely belongs in that upper tier; its campaign no longer carries the industry-shaping impact it once had but it remains tremendous fun, while its multiplayer is still dramatic, unique and engaging, perhaps even more so now given the final touches The Coalition has added. As was the case back in 2006, come for the campaign and stay for the multiplayer – you’ll be glad you did.
