XBOX 360 – Gears of War (GOW)

Although I haven’t had the chance to play GOW (it doesn’t emerge until the 23/11/06), but I have seen it at a XBOX 360 retailer training night.

For those that don’t know, GOW is where you fight these insects/creatures which have emerged through holes in the ground. It is said to be the Halo killer (although I think Halo Wars and Halo 3 will keep Halo alive).

Most people would have only seen videos/images of the game. I haven’t seen them, but I can tell you that the in-game experience, although I didn’t play it myself, is quite impressive.

A few warnings, the casual setting isn’t that casual, and the chainsaw is brutal (blood everywhere, and the camera pans around to show you chainsawing the opponent).

Overall, for the really nice graphics and the features, I rate it 4/5.
