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:  One could argue that the original Gears of War was responsible for kick-starting the current console generation of blockbuster gaming experiences; much like what the movie Jaws did for summer blockbusters, the big-budget visuals, high octa...

  • Abstract:  To call Gears of War 3 one of the most anticipated games of the year for the Xbox 360 is a bit of an understatement. Microsoft has been throwing Gears parties for months to create a frenzy and it appears their work is paying off. More than one million ...

  • Abstract:  Oh, Gears of War. How I hate that I love you so. I have to admit that I had a deep hatred towards shooters for a long time. I refused to play them. I always felt they were pointless distractions that did nothing for gaming as a whole. Then, like some h...

  • 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 ...

  Published: 2011-09-15, review by: gamezone.com

  • 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:  Love it or loathe it, Gears of War has come to define what this generation of gaming is all about. Whether one extols the virtues of competitive gaming and the Xbox Live model that had Gears at its vanguard, or bemoans the slew of "brown and grey" sh...

  • Abstract:  It's not often you get to witness the 'end' of something, especially when you've actually been a follower from the beginning. That's not to say that there won't be more Gears games - the never ending money train works in mysterious ways - but in terms ...
