Abstract: There’s a pretty good story behind the action here, mostly dealing with Marcus Fenix. Following the decline of Jacinto from Gears 2 (18 months later), he’s still haunted by the fact that his father Adam has perished due to the uprising of the Locust...
Gears of War 3 represents state-of-the-art design and gameplay where you become the king badass among a gory world of bad-asses. Every third-person, cover-based shooter from here on out will likely be compared to Gears 3, and it provides a fitting and ...
Abstract: Gears of War defined a console generation, but in 2011 it has almost become a victim of its own success. The signature third-person cover system has become commonplace, and plenty of its tropes have become weary from third-party overuse, such as the ne...
Exciting, emotional, and eminently satisfying campaign, Beautiful locations enrich story and gameplay alike, Fortifications make Horde mode more strategic, Switching sides in Beast mode is brutal fun.
No tutorial for Beast mode.
Gears of War 3 concludes an excellent trilogy with engrossing cooperative play, taut competitive action, and a masterful campaign. ...
Abstract: Gears of War is arguably one of the most iconic franchises in contemporary gaming, and essentially helped solidify the Xbox 360 in the burgeoning console market. Gears of War 3 marks the end of a saga that first began in 2006. While the series is far ...

Abstract: Gears of War 3 If there's one reason to purchase an XBox 360, the reason is Gears of War. Gears of War by Epic Games is easily one of the most entertaining third person shooter games to be available on any platform. Strong words but true... reminiscent...
Lengthy campaign ties up pretty much every loose end in the trilogy. Fourplayer cooperative mode provides ample reason to play and replay story missions. Deep multiplayer filled with fresh modes and unlockable status rewards will keep fans playing for months.
The fourplayer campaign has resulted in a slight but noticeable drop in difficulty. Narrative won’t do much to clam up series detractors who like to lay into the franchise’s penchant for soapy melodrama.
Epic Games saved the best for last, delivering a satisfying concluding campaign with mammoth cooperative play as well as the richest, deepest competitive multiplayer experience in the series. There’s no denying it’s fast-food storytelling (our tree-tr...
The best shooter you’ll find on any console. Great new weapons and enemies. Easy on the eye. Beast mode and Horde 2.0. Pretty much everything not listed under 'downs'.
The cutscenes are appalling. Irritating, one-dimensional characters. Vehicle levels and boss fights still grate. May cost you your job/relationship/tan.
