Game Description

Gears of War was revolutionary enough to earn multiple critics honors at E3 2006, and it's easy to see why.

Tactical maneuvers and teamwork are key, cover doesn't last, and fellow soldiers react with heightened AI. The brand-new Unreal Engine 3 powers Gears of War's cinematic experience, creating an environment realistic enough to walk into...if you've got the guts.
