The editors liked

  • A great single-player campaign
  • And a wide variety of multiplayer modes mean you won't run out of things to do
  • Good variety of fun weapons and ways to use them
  • The classic formula still works
  • Beautiful graphics
  • A siege battle with multiple layers? So much fun
  • One of the most important characters in the series goes out with a whimper
  • Not a bang. It's entirely appropriate
  • Multiplayer is ful
  • Exhilarating new multiplayer modes like Beast and "Horde 2.0
  • " fourplayer coop is a welcome addition
  • Imaginatively grotesque Lambent Locust creature designs
  • Bolder narrative this time around.
  • 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.

The editors didn't like

  • There are still some questions left unanswered
  • Some of the enemies are more annoying than scary and/or satisfying to fight
  • Sometimes the game's levels get bogged down in fetch quests
  • The dialog is often stupid
  • The underwater scene was so close to Episode One I kept expecting to see a Gungan
  • Campaign feels like Gears 2.5 at times
  • Rarely tossing us something we haven't seen before
  • New characters are somewhat underdeveloped .
  • No tutorial for Beast mode.

  • Abstract:  Is this really the end? Epic has given us the third game in the Gears of War franchise and from the sounds of it; it’s the end of Marcus Fenix’s arc. Well, if that’s true then Marcus’s story has gone out with a satisfying ending in Epic’s latest third ...

  • Abstract:  Xbox 360Gears of War 3 is finally here and if you're like 90 percent or so of Xbox 360 owners, you're probably going to play it - if you haven't already. After two strong games, developer Epic has a lot to live up to. The Gears series has impacted the ...

  • Abstract:  to the story of the Gears. The attention to detail on every level is pervasive, as it is nearly comprehensive. Like any game, even the best ones, there are flubs and flaws to be had, but I can guarantee you that after you've spent about 15-20 hours in...

  • Abstract:  Rating:It's been a long time coming – one of the first, few major franchises to propel the Xbox 360 above and beyond Sony's Playstation 3, has finally come to a close. Gears of War, the Epic Games trilogy of oversized men, consistent badmouthing, true bul...

  • Abstract:  Sometimes it seems like developers are not interested in conclusions, rather they like franchises to go on for as long as they can. As such, the chance of the formula becoming stale increases with each installment. I hope that Gears of War isn't one of...

  • Abstract:  The totally epic and stunningly awesome ending of this well known Xbox 360 third person action game just came to the worldwide market and made a lot of gamers wait in queues in front of the stores. There is just a little bit that is possible to critici...

  • It's still the best third-person shooter out there by quite some margin but, equally, it's just not quite as impacting as its two predecessors. Long-time fans will be happy with how Epic has tied all the loose ends together, but dabblers in the series ...

  • Abstract:  There's nothing quite like a good ending. And I don't mean good in the sense that everything turns up roses, because that's certainly not the case for Gears of War 3's cast of motley characters. What I mean is that things get resolved, have a sense of ...

  • Abstract:  Epic have really outdone themselves this time. They have always managed to produce great games but there were little niggles in the first and second Gears titles that detracted from the overall experience. With the first game it was the sluggish respon...

  • Abstract:  Back in late 2006, Microsoft was getting a little concerned that their five-billion-dollar-baby might fail. They had launched the Xbox 360 a year before, and the Xbox division of the company was billions of dollars in the hole, and there just wasn't...
