I rented this game not expecting anything special, I mean I read the reviews but some how I never believed it! Graphics are awesome, game play and handling is very easy to grasp, and the story line was delicious. Don't buy this game thinking of Halo 2, it's not even close. Both are shooters, but very different shooters. If I had to complain about anything, well the game is kind of short, and you can't jump up or crouch but all the good stuff far out weigh these minor inconveniences!!! Buy this game!!

WHY ARE YOU EVEN CONSIDERING RENTING THIS GAME?!??! GO OUT AND BUY IT NOW!! Ok, i understand if you're a little shaky about this game. Lets start out slow! One of the coolest and most fun parts of this game is your main gun. Known as the "Lancer", this is a machine gun. Ok who cares about a stupid machine gun right? but its more!! attached like a grenade launcher to your gun is a FREAKIN CHAINSAW!! Enemies getting too close for comfort? CHAINSAW THEIR BUTT!! Ok, another great part of this game is the campaign. On casual mode, the campaign can come up a bit short, but on hardcore and insane (the other two difficulties) this game is a long one because its ACTUALLY harder on the harder modes!! Along with playing the solo campaign, you can go online and play that SAME campaign, but with a friend or some random dude from canada OR ANYONE ON XBOX LIVE!! So, if it gets a little hard, just get some guy to help you rip it up. So, ive left the best part last. If you have graced your 360 with an xbox live subscription, then you'll have the privilege to go online and enjoy that chainsawing, machine gunning, madness that makes gears of war fun, but with REAL PEOPLE!! You can play ranked matches with all the really good people or you can play regular player matches with the noobs. (just like halo!) There are three game modes, Warzone, Execution, and Assasination. Warzone is just deathmatch. In assassination, you have to kill a specially chosen leader of the other team and thats the only way you can win.
In execution...blah blah blah just rent the game and find out!! I GUARENTEE THAT YOU WILL LOVE THIS GAME FROM THE MOMENT IT ENTERS YOUR DISC TRAY. So pretty much keep your mouse button by that "keep it" button because you will LOVE THIS GAME.

In Gears of War, I was thoroughly surprised by what I saw. The hype definitely held to the game and the Graphics....well freaking awesome. This is the best looking game to date on ANY platform. And Halo?? Why try to compare it to Halo?? Not even the same engine. The Unreal 3 engine used really did this game justice in all aspects of it. The multiplayer is great! Just like real life, when you die .....you DIE!!! I used to like the re spawn and come at it again but this game forces you to use your best tactics and also your best skills, if you have any. Even if you don't it will definitely provide hours of bloody, fun, practice for just about anyone. Have a good day and happy hunting!!
