Gears of War 3

gkillmaster's Gears of War 3 (Xbox 360) review

I don't get it

I just don't understand the appeal. The single player is the same ole stuff. Some of the weapons are super fun to use, but the boring grind of the single player game leaves me numb. There is no innovation or feeling of challenge outside of repetitiveness. So sick of games just being a glorified repeat of the same overdone tired formula. The only reason I'm playing the single player at all is to get shooting skills for the multiplayer which is actually really fun. I give the multiplayer 4 out of 5 and the single player 0.5 stars, hence my 2.25 blend score. I can't help but get the feeling that people are just getting on the gears of war wagon cause its the thing to do and ignoring the fact that its single player is just a rehash intellectual property money grab. I do feel the love in multiplayer though. Some very exciting modes.

As a critic, I’ve found the most challenging reviews to write involve games to which I have a particular emotional attachment, and this is certainly the case for the Gears of War franchise. As long as I’ve had an Xbox 360, Gears of War has been a constant and dependable companion. Sure, every once in a while I’d run off and have a fling when a sexy new Call of Duty game came along... but once the thrill wore off, I’d realize all those new frags were meaningless, and soon I’d be stomping Locusts ...

Gears of War 3(Xbox 360) by mistermollusk on February 18, 2013
Once upon a time I chainsawed the hearts of a riftworm and rode a rampaging Brumak through Locust-infested caverns. The good memories I have of Gears of War 1 and 2 are those of exciting set pieces while the bad memories I have are any point where they try to flesh out the story and characters. We're all familiar with the commercial where Marcus is running through the destroyed city as Mad World plays in the background. Gears 3 feels like it tries to take that "war is Hell" motif too seriously ...
