description
Gears of War® is the first game developed by Epic Games exclusively for Microsoft Game Studios and Xbox 360™. Gears of War thrusts you into a deep and harrowing story of humankind’s epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet.

In this third-person tactical action/horror game, live and breathe the role of Marcus Fenix. A disgraced former war hero, Marcus seeks personal redemption as he leads his fire team against an onslaught of merciless warrior fiends. Immerse yourself in an experience so intensely emotional and gut-wrenching that playing will be like controlling a blockbuster action movie.

Gears of War utilizes the breathtaking new Unreal Engine 3 to create cinematic, high-definition visuals for a gaming experience that truly ushers in the next generation. Experience beautifully rendered interactive environments and characters so lifelike they appear to be made of flesh and bone. The next-generation visuals create a world in which the tiniest detail is vivid in the largest battle.

Gears of War unites next-generation technology with classic, emotional storytelling and a revolutionary tactical combat system, engrossing the gamer in a horrifying epic story of war and survival.

    great game
    gears of war is a terrific game but playing single player alone sometimes gets boring but playing online will keep gears of war inside your 360 until gears 2 comes =)

    After playing this for longer....
    I rented this and ethused about it, not sure if I got a glitchy copy but I then found the two choices at the start make no difference to what route you get.....and it didn't seem possible to replay from where you had left off, without just getting flooded with unkillable enemies.

    But then I've discovered that I hate tactical shooters anyway, so take that into account. They aren't like House of the Dead and Operation Wolf and the first Doom.

    Gameplay-Wise biggest game after Half LIfe 2
    This game rocks. It has some of the most engaging firefights seen in video game history. Basically no other weapon can compare the visceral feel of lancer rifle. Play it to believe it !
