    Awesome graphics and gameplay, was concerned because of it being the 5th Edition if it was going to be just another game but it surpassed my expectations

    Ehh. Wouldn't recommend this iteration of the series. Gameplay skipped around a lot and froze which has never happened to me with a new game. I got it for super cheap so can't complain about that, the wasted time wasn't fun however.

    I've been playing Gears since before Dom knew he would be searching for Maria. Gameplay is good, the new weapons suck, and I don't really care for the storyline. Things just aren't as exciting like they were back in the day with the 1st Carmine.

    This review relates to the campaign only, as I haven't touched the multi-player yet - All Gears, all the time. I'm only about 10% into the game, but I have thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Graphics are amazing, control is fantastic, story is engaging. It's exactly what I wanted out of the latest Gears. It's a little buggy with some of the collectibles vanishing and reappearing, but that's become pretty standard at launch, so I can't hold that against this game. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good 'n gory shooter.
