After the human colonies were assaulted by a force of subterranean beasts known as the Locust, a raging war broke out and the humans pretty much had to destroy their entire civilization to stop the rampaging Locust. Things are not going too well on the planet's surface. The figure is disgraced COG soldier Marcus Fenix - who just happens to be harder than a coffin nail soaked in titanium. Set in a bleak future on a planet named Sera, a dark figure sits in a jail cell. I have no doubt that Gears of War is a very strong candidate for our upcoming Game of the Year awards, so without harping on too much, let's look at what makes the game a true winner.
It says a lot about a game to have nearly the entire console staff (and some others besides) constantly talking and chattering away about it. Ever since we saw the first trailers, right up until the Hollywood red-carpet promo event a few weeks ago, we've been gagging for more. GameSpy has given a lot of love to Gears over the last 18 months or so. You'll be all done with the main story after eight or so hours, and even though there are three difficulty levels to play through, the legs of Gears is certainly in abusing foes online. Now that that's out of the way, I also need to hammer home that while the single-player game is a good amount of fun, Gears' real hook is the superb multiplayer game. It's a fantastic achievement, and it's also easily the best reason to own an Xbox 360 to date. Never before have I been given so much to look and marvel at while actually playing an adrenalized shooter.
It's a truly stunning achievement in terms of visuals, presentation and sound. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Gears of War is the best-looking game I have ever played.
