    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.

    La verdad no me gusto mucho, tienes sus bugs y la historia esta muy genérica, las graficas están mal para ser un remaster.

    Super jeux avec une campagne bourré d'action. et un groupe de personnage attachant à suive. jeux de tir à la troisième personnes assez nerveux.

    Buen remake. Supongo que el sistema de coberturas en su día fue revolucionario. No tengo claro que fuera el primero. En todo caso, intenso y variado en sus modos de contenidos.

    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.

    An amazing game, a great remaster, and still one of the best 3rd person shooters/action adventure games out there. If you have never played Gears start here. If you have Gamepass and have never played download this now and play it!

    Bom remaster. Manteve a estrutura do original. Jogabilidade excelente, uma das melhores da categoria. Ambientes fantásticos que proporciona imersão na campanha. É um jogo obrigatório pra todo dono de XBOX e/ou fã de TPS.

    My first GOW game, and I am happy I decided to give gears games a go. Absolutely loved every minute of it, and played through the campaign in almost a single sitting over the weekend. Absolutely one of the most entertaining shooter I've played in a long time.

    Buen remaster

    Mas contenido y mejores gráficos

    esta bien si nunca jugaste a ningún Gears, aunque lo puedes llegar sentir un poco anticuado.

    A pesar de haberlo jugado en su momento en la 360, lo he vuelto a jugar en la One totalmente remasterizado y es una pasada, totalmente recomendable.

    Very amusing game, that doesn't take the genre too seriously. Well balanced, good action, great graphics, very do-able for a player like me that is not a great shooter. But best of all: a game filled with nice, big chunk-a-chunks of men candy!

    This is a great remaster/remake of the original GOW. If the frame rate was better it would make the game even more enjoyable (and I would of given it a 10). It is a great way for the newer generation to get into gears.

    Os gráficos estão muito bons, a história é sensacional. Só não dei a nota máxima porque tive problema com o HDR automático no Série S.

    Excellent third-person shooter. A game that was very influential in its day, especially for the cover system from which other games such as the 'Uncharted' saga later borrowed ideas. I have to say that I haven't played the original XBOX 360 version, so for me this is the first contact with the series. The shootouts are frantic and challenging and the scenario design is pretty good, perhapsExcellent third-person shooter.

I have to say that I haven't played the original XBOX 360 version, so for me this is the first contact with the series. The shootouts are frantic and challenging and the scenario design is pretty good, perhaps falling a bit into repetition as you get further into the game. 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

    A great remaster of a fantastic game, the game has stunning visuals and excellent gunplay with a very interesting world. The story is a little weak and the AI can be very dumb at times but overall it's a great game that still holds up well.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I started and finished this game in within a week in april. And it was magical. 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

    Una remasterización excelentemente realizada. Te atrapa justo, o quizá más, que el juego original. Recomendado para aquellos que apenas empezarán el mundo de Gears of War, pero si ya tienes la versión original yo me lo pensaría 2 veces.

    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.
