It's about aliens that come up outta the ground. It's very realistic.

Wow, just for that you deserve the Purple Heart. And why does Cdemon say not to listen to me? Anyone with half a bran can see that the game runs like shit online and the single player is short and mediocre. Compare the online in Gears to any other good online games(for 360) such as Vegas or even Halo 2 for Xbox and see how much worse it lags and shit.
Someone with half of "bran" you speak will know how to spell the word. Rent the game, I didn't enjoy GoW when I played it at my friends house, its over-rated online if you ask me.
I'm glad you agree with me and the reason I spelled "brain" wrong is because I type fast and don't always check it over and spell check it. A lot of the time I'm on here is after a long day of landscaping so I'm usually pretty tired too.

re: Thinking About Getting Gears Of War....

I thought the game became very stale after one time through. I've never been one to buy a game if the online play is what makes it good. I'm not saying the main game sucks, but its very dry after you've been through it. The action sequences are good, the graphics are some of the best right now on a console, the game overall is put together well for the most part, but its just repetitive after a very short time. I also thought the controls were a little stiff.

I will eventually buy the game just for the single player mode. To be honest, I have no desire to even try to get good enough to compete online in this game. From what I am hearing, going online, unless you are very good, is just nothing more than subjecting yourself to getting owned.

Stop bitching because you suck at the game (and have a shitty connection), kid.

There's millions and millions of people who love the game, so I doubt your ignorant opinion really matters.

Are you talking to me? I probably will go play Halo 2 later but if you knew all the things that were supposed to be in Gears of War, your tiny little head would explode.

Dude, I am 100% sure we know more about Gears than you did. Until you make a game better than Gears, quit critisizing it. You're in the minority of those who don't like the game, so shut the hell up.

There is rarely, if ever, lag on Xbox Live for Gears.H onestly, I've had FAR more lag on Vegas(hence my never playing it anymore). Don't even get me started on the lag with Halo 2. The single player had some very memorable moments. Berserkers, RAAM, Carmine's death. Not to mention it has co-op. If I recall, all you ever did was complain in the Gears forum, mostly due to how you could never get a kill on live.

It's fine that you don't like it, write a review. Blatantly fibbing on the game, however, isn't something you should do.

re: Thinking About Getting Gears Of War....

Are you that ignorant to not realize that a lot of things get cut from the final product of games?

Or just dense? People are well aware that a lot of stuff didn't make it. The Brumak being one thing. Point being, Gears is still a hell of a great game.

re: Thinking About Getting Gears Of War....

You call an easy 5 hour campaign and a MP with no netcode that 90% of the time comes down to shotguns and chainsaws a good game? You have to be kidding.

And yes, I know a lot of things get cut but even the story got cut along with about 70% of info that was in GI!
