I’ve always kind of felt Gears of War was like Microsoft’s version of Killzone, and it’s definitely much better gameplay wise, but gears of war 1 really feels like the first Killzone in a way and that’s not a good thing. Also, controls and gameplay just feel clunky in a way. The system was already implemented, it couldn’t have been that hard to make the AI do it. Also, the fact that you CANNOT be revived is stupid. Sure I could just be bad but I really don’t think it’s my fault my allies all decided to march single file down range of a Trokia and then just bleed out. There are sections in the game I absolutely cannot get through without dumping nearly an hour into these sections. Playing coop this issue is still present but it’s not as big a deal. The game has an unfair challenge, partially due to the friendly AI not being very good. For starters, the game really DOES NOT FEEL like it was designed for single players. The weapons are unique and nicely designed, and I love the Locust burst gun (forgot the name.) But, there are some issues I have. I also love the whole splitting up aspect where both players go a different way. It’s a shame that there’s never really any need to do it, but it’s still a nice touch and I wished it was used more. Now that’s all on the outside, what about on the inside? Well for starters I really like that you can give squadmates orders. That’s not to say the other ones are awful but compared to first one, man it’s a HUGE change in writing. It’s a great game, the story, lore, world is all interesting, the voice acting and characters are all well written and in my opinion this is the only gears of war story that doesn’t suck. Gears of War The game that started it all. This isn’t going to be a bunch of full on reviews, more just quick thoughts on them. With that said though I do still think it’s fair to comment on them, what I like and don’t like. I honestly believe it’s a legit reason to get an Xbox 360 in 2021. Seriously, that’s basically all I hear in defense for Gears or when people talk about it as an exclusive. It honestly surprises me that the only time I EVER hear anyone talk about Gears of War is ONLY when they make the argument “oh the Xbox has Gears of War, not just halo!” argument. I just got into this franchise this year and I absolutely love it. Hopefully people here will be more accepting of my opinions on this franchise unlike the halo franchise where my opinions were, less than favorable.
