the cover system is revolutionary. i cant describe the first feeling i got when i first started playing the games. The controls were perfect and you were able to drop in and out of cover in ease and even from a distance you can still take cover and roll and sprint with just one button. the controls were amazing. many games try to replicate it but fail.
i got this game half off when gears of war 2 came out. i first saw the gears of war 2 commercial while watching the History channel. I knew i had to get the first one immediately. i got this for 10 bucks because of a special discount and i also got Perfect Dark Zero for 5 bucks. SO WORTH IT! cant wait to get gears 2. i hope gears 3 comes soon.
i dont think the guy that made the video ever goes on youtube cause i mean this was made in 2006 and this is his only video . but good review from gamespot
ur kinda right about halo, its was great before but now its kinda old, only reason i would get halo 3 and watever halo games that will come out later would be for live
COD 3 is a great game but I expected too much from it was just a little just a tiny dissappointed. My squad would get stuck and I would have to start over, I would get stuck. But the graphics great and the overall challenges great, the online play fantastic.
well hope it does have a story i'm more excited for Resistance 2 with better graphics than Resistance 1 and could give Gears 2 a run for it's money in graphics department but honestly Gears needs better futuristic guns
at my friends birthday party we were playing halo 3 slayer 5 player system link and it was really really good but i have to agree that gears of war has better graphics
you know Gears is awesome love the gore but i would have liked seeing more future weapons but the chainsaw gun is awesome but if this game wasn't in the future i would have liked the guns but it's not and it's really grey in a good way but Gears 2 need a new feel and atmosphere and locations if they hope the score big on Gears 2 since Resistance 2 is looking better every time they realise new details
hmm good to know now another question if Gears 2 doesn't have a different story and there still the same amount of swearing will it score lower than Gears 1?
This game is awesome, the graphics are not as good as Resident Evil 5 but the story and the co-op mode are well made. This game definetly deserves a movie but a CGI movie like Resident Evil degeneration
I agree with both of them being great games, but they both do so in their own ways. Halo 3 has massive firefights with a shitload of enemies with guns blazing, and Gears of War has intelligent AI, the NEED to hide behind cover and gory executions. It's all a matter of personal preference.
MGS4 Could be a Movie and it wouldn't make a difference. This game really does outmatch MG4's gameplay Not by much though In the end both games are genius. The only problem I had was that MGS4 cutscenes were so goddamn long ( I know you could skip, but then I have a feeling that I am missing out on something important).
man ive played this game im a fan of nintendo but i want to get a 360 for this shame i prefer the wii.this game rules its so gratifying when u chop sombody in half with a chainsaw baonet
GoW. Assassin's Creed is great visually, has this big cities to explore, but it gets REALLY boring after a couple of hours. Gears of Wars is just continuous, non-stop fun.
You go up to guys and say "Come on man, let's keep fighting!!!" and they just get back up? What if they just reply "Fuck you, man, I'm shot. I'm gonna die..."?
no it doesn't since Gears gameplay is about shooting while MGS4 gameplay is about hiding and shooting and if you have a problem with the long cutescene than don't buy it because everyone knew from before it came out it would have long cutescene
@mexitalrish Yeah i like GOW 1 over R1, i have both of the first games on both systems (obviously) and i hate Resistance, i couldn't belive that i always talked shit about the Gears Of War Series, but i got it NEW on disc with case and instructions for only $13 (Im aussie and thats Fing cheap here, especially for such an amazing game). On R1 im on chapter 3 (from memory) and in GOW 1 im on Chapter 4 (im gonna finish Mass Effect then maybe finish GOW but next week im gettin' Mass Effect 2 CE).
okay, so even if story did count for more, why should it outweigh gameplay? fact is, mgs4 was good but there was too much story. If there is any game that could have 45-50% story, and still be a hit, its MGS4, but that still doesn't mean it should continue happening. If you've played UT2004, it had crap story ( if you could even say that UT2004 had any story plot), yet it was still considered a very good FPS by many. Also, Game mechanics and story are two different things
if you have a game that has great gameplay but no good or no story than you wouldn't want to keep on playing because you're not motivated to see the end same goes for good story but no good gameplay it would be too frustrating that you want to kick the developer in the balls. now granted alot of ppl hate the long cute scenes but MGS4's story is so good you're not going to care and if your getting in to the story the long cute scene will soon end without notice
yes such a good story, it would make a good MOVIE when did such an immerse story count for anything more than "icing on the cake"? a GAME can only be defined by it's GAMEPLAY, thus the name of the concept.
I don't get why people come here to complain about how this great game is overrated. I mean... do you like to bitch about? Also, it isn't as popular as other really overrated games like Halo 3 and CoD black ops (yes, specifically). This game got it's merits because it raised the bar of how games should be in the current generation (quality and quantity of content), not because you can pwn more noobs on it or everyone has it. It's not as popular as Halo or CoD, I'll give you that, but it's great.
SICK GAME, I'M PLAYING JUDGEMENT RIGHT NOW!! ALSO QUANTUM THEORY IS PRETTY GOOD TOO ITS BASICALLY THE PS3 VERSION, THAT LETS YOU THROW YOUR PARTNER INTO AN ENEMY GIMMICK THATS FUN.
since the day storyline we're introduced. listen would you watch an action movie we're everything is getting blown up and you don't know why because there's no story, no you wouldn't. a story for a game is more than just icing on the cake, lets take Gears here if they didn't bother to give you a story and they make the sequel the same no story would you pay $59.99 just to do the same things from Gears 1
we're did i say MGS4's gameplay is better i don't see it i wrote MGS4's gameplay is about sneaking and hiding with shooing while Gears is shoot first shoot second shoot some more and ask 1 or 2 questions after you shot everything up which isn't bad but if your not measuring a game by it's story than why don't we go back in the days when we want to know the story we just read the manual.
How the hell can MGS4 be better than GOW's Gameplay? Like I said, MGS4 had a good chunk of CUTSCENE, while GOW gave you the good stuff, the actual GAMEPLAY. A game isn't supposed to be rated on STORY or CUTSCENE LENGTH, it's supposed to be rated on GAMEPLAY, the reason any human by a GAME. And you can't deny that if they had replaced the gameplay with script, the game would have been a good movie. It was just too much Cutscene.
I also feel bad for those who dosent have PS3 They wont witness the greatness of the god of all games MGS4... JK:) Its a great deal if you but PS3 for MGS4 and XBO360 for GoW and Halo3
neither one is better, u cant say which is better if theyre different types of games, i dont see gears having u able to jump 15 feet up in the air, but i dont see halo have exploding bodies. theyre both awsome games, if u say the betas better, then uve probly never played gears, or u havent played online or insane mode.
i dotn feel bad for my self cuz we have R2 and motorstorm and all these other good exclusives. But Gears 2 is a game that i would want on the PS3, but definetely not halo 3 , i find it so over rated
GEARS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't talk shit on a game that lets u blow off a enemy's fukin head!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOST REWARDING TYPE OF HEADSHOT, HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
dude relax. i know that you don't really care about something as pointless as online arguments. it's fine if ya think r2 is better. i like gow and gow 2 more but its just an opinion.
Wish these early 360 days were back
Just got this game love it, one of the best third person shooters I've played in a while. The Multiplayer is so addicting
I'm about to get it and the others and try them out for the first time! Looking forward to it
Damn im so jelly of people who haven’t played this.
Just finished it for the first time a month ago. Campaign is short, but entertaining. For a $2 game, I can't expect more.
This brings a lot of memories back😢
When Gamespot was worth watching
thumbs up if you've beaten this on insane
Solo back in 2012.
Amazing game, GameSpot was the shit back in the day.
the cover system is revolutionary. i cant describe the first feeling i got when i first started playing the games. The controls were perfect and you were able to drop in and out of cover in ease and even from a distance you can still take cover and roll and sprint with just one button. the controls were amazing. many games try to replicate it but fail.
I got this in 2008 and couldn't believe I had been missing out on it for 2 years.
"The game's story is pretty much non-existent"
"They just know how to shoot stuff and they're stoked about it."
...Hell yeah!! Thats the beauty of it.
i got this game half off when gears of war 2 came out. i first saw the gears of war 2 commercial while watching the History channel. I knew i had to get the first one immediately. i got this for 10 bucks because of a special discount and i also got Perfect Dark Zero for 5 bucks. SO WORTH IT! cant wait to get gears 2. i hope gears 3 comes soon.
Good stuff
Just started playing it today, and im loving it
These guys aren’t fancy lads they just know how to shoot stuff. Love it.
I've beaten this game on Casual and Hardcore when I borrowed it from a friend, and I still plan on buying it. It's another timeless action game.
love this game
14 years ago dayum
I JUST LOVE Gears Of War games! ! ! ! Can't wait for GOW Judgement! ! ! !
How’s your life now, bud?
i dont think the guy that made the video ever goes on youtube cause i mean this was made in 2006 and this is his only video . but good review from gamespot
Very good!!
ur kinda right about halo, its was great before but now its kinda old, only reason i would get halo 3 and watever halo games that will come out later would be for live
"These guys aren't fancy lads.. they just know how to shoot stuff and they're stoked about it."
That pretty much sums up the whole game, there.
I own both of them, but I am going to have to say get assasin's creed first because it is just incredible.
this game is INFUCKINCREDIBLE
thanks for uploading
gears of war is definately one of the most intense vid games out there!
can we all go back on this and all go on coop campaign cause ive never played coop
@AWAKEND123 yep and bulletstorm i much prefer bulletstorm tho
COD 3 is a great game but I expected too much from it was just a little just a tiny dissappointed. My squad would get stuck and I would have to start over, I would get stuck. But the graphics great and the overall challenges great, the online play fantastic.
is the best game that I played in my life
still
13 years now. Are you still alive?
@@ElfHostage I was one of the first mexicans with gears 1 montages! Im still alive🤭
dude i wish i could active reload as goos as u!!
I'm just on the last Act on Insane, so I guess I'm doing OK :P
It has been 13 years. Are you still alive?
I got Gears of War for £4 from ebay, bargain of the year!
@jessie8507 I'm pretty sure that was Halo.
hey do people love this game more about the visualizes than gameplay and story and dialog? please i'm no fanboy and please no fanboy response
well hope it does have a story i'm more excited for Resistance 2 with better graphics than Resistance 1 and could give Gears 2 a run for it's money in graphics department but honestly Gears needs better futuristic guns
best frikkin game out there, eats resistance by far. Me and a friend completed it on insane the other day, fantastic :D
at my friends birthday party we were playing halo 3 slayer 5 player system link and it was really really good but i have to agree that gears of war has better graphics
you know Gears is awesome love the gore but i would have liked seeing more future weapons but the chainsaw gun is awesome but if this game wasn't in the future i would have liked the guns but it's not and it's really grey in a good way but Gears 2 need a new feel and atmosphere and locations if they hope the score big on Gears 2 since Resistance 2 is looking better every time they realise new details
Who’s here after playing Gears 5?
Can you move and shoot in this game? Cause if not this game looks to play just like Resident Evil 4. Which I don't mind.
hmm good to know now another question if Gears 2 doesn't have a different story and there still the same amount of swearing will it score lower than Gears 1?
then u got urs today it comes out on the 24th here ur so lucky
This game is awesome, the graphics are not as good as Resident Evil 5 but the story and the co-op mode are well made. This game definetly deserves a movie but a CGI movie like Resident Evil degeneration
yea thanks i cant watch it on the site for some wierd reason.
have u finished campaign and gone online
That guy says the same thing at least 5 times, but it is the BEST game I've ever played. Even better than Black on PS2 :O
I like it
also if u played it, ud probably assume there will be a sequel considerin da end (i wont say the end)
im gettin this game for chanukkha
does gears of war freez alot like dead rising
plz reply
I agree with both of them being great games, but they both do so in their own ways.
Halo 3 has massive firefights with a shitload of enemies with guns blazing, and Gears of War has intelligent AI, the NEED to hide behind cover and gory executions. It's all a matter of personal preference.
They're supposed to make two more. (GeOW)
@weskervirus8910 A bit of an unfair comparison, considering Resident Evil 5 was released 2 1/2 years after Gears.
MGS4 Could be a Movie and it wouldn't make a difference.
This game really does outmatch MG4's gameplay
Not by much though
In the end both games are genius. The only problem I had was that MGS4 cutscenes were so goddamn long ( I know you could skip, but then I have a feeling that I am missing out on something important).
me too.. visuals arnt as good as gears as well. But i like almost any shooter game on live.
Gears of War owned my bedroom for a few months, but now it just collects dust, very little longevity :(
otherwise a great game :D
man ive played this game im a fan of nintendo but i want to get a 360 for this shame i prefer the wii.this game rules its so gratifying when u chop sombody in half with a chainsaw baonet
GoW. Assassin's Creed is great visually, has this big cities to explore, but it gets REALLY boring after a couple of hours. Gears of Wars is just continuous, non-stop fun.
well it was fun to kill stuff but it wasn't different from other third person shooter
@AWAKEND123 yes
Damn. All these comments are old.
i second that and quality not quantity! ...ok find maybe quantity..( jus a lil bit)
@phxsns1 Dude i got it in about December or November 09, im gonna get 2 soon cause i think 3 might be out this year or 2011
I will if I want to.
You go up to guys and say "Come on man, let's keep fighting!!!" and they just get back up?
What if they just reply "Fuck you, man, I'm shot. I'm gonna die..."?
I have played this game, but its weird that this review contains so much spoilers.
no it doesn't since Gears gameplay is about shooting while MGS4 gameplay is about hiding and shooting and if you have a problem with the long cutescene than don't buy it because everyone knew from before it came out it would have long cutescene
i think gears brought the regenarating health
Not even close
www.giantbomb.com/regenerating-health/3015-83/
WHA... HOW...HUH...YES
does any one know the songs in the background for this review
u can get gears of war on the pc
he forgot to mention insane mode...
@mexitalrish Yeah i like GOW 1 over R1, i have both of the first games on both systems (obviously) and i hate Resistance, i couldn't belive that i always talked shit about the Gears Of War Series, but i got it NEW on disc with case and instructions for only $13 (Im aussie and thats Fing cheap here, especially for such an amazing game).

@chesney121 he got fired for writing a bad review on sonic the hedgehog i heard
I also feel bad for those who dosent have PS3

@MrXboxps3wiipsp no it isn't
14 people work at Eidos Interactive and play Kane & Lynch instead of this game.
lol 2 true! xD
neither one is better, u cant say which is better if theyre different types of games, i dont see gears having u able to jump 15 feet up in the air, but i dont see halo have exploding bodies. theyre both awsome games, if u say the betas better, then uve probly never played gears, or u havent played online or insane mode.
i dotn feel bad for my self cuz we have R2 and motorstorm and all these other good exclusives. But Gears 2 is a game that i would want on the PS3, but definetely not halo 3 , i find it so over rated
Youre kidding me right?
No one dosent knows Metal Gear Solid 4
But then if you dont check it out search for it:)
halo 3 VS gears of war
it wasn't mindblowing when i played it
GEARS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't talk shit on a game that lets u blow off a enemy's fukin head!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOST REWARDING TYPE OF HEADSHOT, HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
GTA IV gets boring quick
the looks like a 40 year old vergen
dude relax. i know that you don't really care about something as pointless as online arguments. it's fine if ya think r2 is better. i like gow and gow 2 more but its just an opinion.
what you just said doesn't make any sense
