So...anyone played Gears of War yet?

[FrieChamp]

Worth buying? Are the great review scores justified? Overall impressions? I'm interested in hearing what you guys think!

[Dennispls]

i saw an extensive trailer and im gonna buy it whenit comes out

definately something to have if you own a 360

[Evert]

I'm still sceptic about it, I'll wait until I hear from others then reviewers.

I hope it'll be good though, so I no longer have to regret buying the 360.

[Tailgunner]

Played it at work

I cant say so much because im not a real console fan, I just ahted the controls and stuff, took a while get that sorted.

The game itself was cool from what I saw. about 1h or so

Coop is nice as hell. thats the only thing I tried.

A bit wierd that they only have shadows on characters. thou. cant say much about it, u got to try it urselves

Overall impression from 1 h co op. - kewl

[Section_Ei8ht]

Not sure where you're getting the shadows only on characters thing. I didn't notice that...

Yes. It's worth every penny. Of course, if you're not playing coop, it might get a bit repeditive.

[Grinwhrl]

Best game I've ever played and beaten. Co-Op of course

[Pericolos0]

It's very hard to not buy an xbox 360 right now

[PhilipK]

Well doesn't really feel worth to get a 360 for this imo.

I would of course need to test it myself not just watch others playing

But it seemed pretty monotonous.

seconded. I think of it as the Halo of the 360. The MP is quite excellent and I see myself actually playing a lot it. I never played much XBL games before but this one really has pulled me in.

I played with mojo, mikey, and a bunch of others a bit this past weekend and had a blast despite terribly sucking at it. Still plodding through the SP, lots going on right now or I'd probably be done with it... but it's definitely a total package affair. I highly recommend it.

[Mazy]

Got it today, totally love it. Best 360 game by far, and probably the best game of 2006. Online co-op is genius, everything should have it!

mmmMMmmm

I really should jump in some MP games. Liking the SP so far. Personally I'm more of a Mercenaries type of action/shooter gamer, but this is definetely a very solid product. If you like shooters, I don't think you'll go wrong with this one.

[ReNo]

Played some coop yesterday with a couple of mates, and absolutely loved it. Wasn't 100% sold on it at the start - it was certainly polished and a solid shooter, but the relentless shooting just felt a bit repetitive. Half an hour in, things started getting better. An hour in, things were fucking awesome. Once you get some teamwork going and come across some of the different enemies it's a really special game, and even though it is fairly by the books, it still feels really fresh. Looking forward to trying it out single player and multiplayer too - split screen coop is great fun but the tiny vertical area each player has really limits the how impressive the game looks.

Seems like the perfect game for a huge plasma screen TV then. Hmmm!

[Dennispls]
