Gears of War 3

18 months since the fall of Jacinto, living aboard the aircraft carrier Ravens Nest off of th island of Vectes. Locust which have been fused with the imulsion that once powered Sera, threatens both humans and locust alike.

New characters and weapons have been introduced into Gears of War 3. New allys, including Samantha Byrne, Anya Stroud and Bernadette Mataki as 3 playable female characters. Also Jace Stratton and Clayton Carmine, the third carmine brother. New weapons such as a double barreled shotgun and a Pendulum War-Era Lancer have been introduced, also the Digger launcher and the One Shot, a powerful weapon which kills any enemy with one bullet.

4 Player co-op has been introduced as well as a all new multiplayer mode called Beast mode, where you play as locust surviving waves of human AI.

Ive been a massive fan of the gears franchise from the start, and while im sad that this game wraps up the trilogy, it does it with some serious style!

First up the new horde mode is fantastic, just as challenging as it was in gears 2, but it really ramps up the challenge with every tenth battle being against a boss, want to slay that brumak- eat your heart out!
And as usual its even better with friends, me and my mates are going to get some serious mileage out of horde 2.0

Beast mode is another awesome addition, learning all the strengths and weakness of the different enemies is awesome fun, even the humble ticker has its own cool uses such as destroying barriers, or just blowing people to bits, if thats your thing.

The campaign is truly bigger, clocking in at around 15 hours, maybe longer if you go after the collectibles.
The story is far more focused this time around, with all lose ends from the previous games bought to a stunning end, and epic has gone above and beyond to make this the most polished gears yet, the set pieces are amazing, the lighting system looks beautiful, smoke and explosions have never looked so good, and the new extra brutal finishing moves never get old.

Theres just so much I want to say about this game, but I could be here all day.

Just get it!

Now my review is based on the first day that I have spent with Gears of War 3 and already, it refuses to let go. Judging from the screens, I'm pretty sure that you already know what to expect from the graphics department.

Gameplay wise- Well, it is your typical Gears formula with plenty of taking cover and shooting. However, it has been beefed up because guns feel more powerful than ever, with the Retro lancer being most definetly welcome.

The campaign puts the last two Gears games to shame, let's put it at that.

The multiplayer- Well with dedicated servers, matchmaking is faster so you don't have to wait for an eternity in the lobby. This also means that there is no more host advantage so expect less ragequits online because you have just as much lag advantage as the other guy. The game modes themselves are fun and Capture the Leader is a must-play. I can say with confidence that Gears 3's multiplayer is one to be played for years to come.

Now I do not know what to say about Horde and Beast mode because I am not generally a fan of fighting endless waves of enemies. But with that being said, Gears of War 3 is worth its full price for the exquisite and robust Campaign and Multiplayer modes.

If you are a fan of the past two titles, there is no excuse for you to pass on the superior-in-every-way sequel.

i already have unlockable stuff for it and im buying it i love the story line and the new combat system horde mode 2.0 looks way better than last time but muliplayer isnt the best but still amazing overall

Was a good game. Too short but still fun, good player vs player modes
