Best with coop.

*This review is from June 29, 2008.*

I played half of Act I when it came on the PC so I had a basic understanding of the game. My buddy did beat it on the PC a couple months ago so at least I had a guide. He hosted and went with hardcore. I could rant all night about the team AI but I will just say it needs to be fixed and really annoyed us during our playing. When you had to split up and take a AI with you, well, they are 100% worthless so it made those bits tougher then it should. Then you add in the glitching of firing a weapon and having the rounds go right thru the enemy, very annoying. I would say the most annoying (not hardest) was the coal cart part. It took us two days of playing but we didn't play non-stop. I would say less then 10 hours total. If we played on casual then we would've easily done it under 7. And to top off the whole thing, I didn't get the achievement for playing as Dom for the whole story. Yes, I did the damn Prison level. I found out that this is a common thing so a great way to end a annoying game.

When in the heart of battle you are able to feel the breath of your opponent as he r...

It's my personal opinion that games just don't have the same magic as they used to.  It could be that we're breaching too close to reality with the looks, and realism effects and character models based on people we recognise might be taking things a little too far.  Many games, particularly shooters have become a little tired and predictable.  I'm very glad to say that I don't find this to be the case with Gears of War.  Made by the Unreal Tournament team, there was never a chance I wouldn't pla...
