    it is a good game , but the memory of playing my First time on Gears of War 1 was always so memorable with new and unique weapons mechanics.. wish it had more of that.. Smooth game play, great graphics and still enjoyable. still playing through the game so i will update once the campaign is completed

    This is the best game for nintendo 64 that has ever came out by sony, sega has done it one again. The water guns are all great and look life like, the hedger on the super soaker is great too.

    I’ve enjoyed all of the Gears games and this preserves the outstanding gameplay the series is known for along with eye-popping graphics and sound effects. The only flaw is the incorporation of open-world elements which fell flat. Hopefully the developers keep Gears linear for the next game.

    Different from other Gears but good

    I have owned all the other Gears games so I had to get this one. It's different, got to start with that. I play mostly online so I haven't gotten around to the campaign but the way you play online is much different. From the loadout of weapons to characters you pick to start with (each is different) to buying weapons mid game with points you earn. It took me a bit to get used to but I started understanding what was going on and I can't say I like it more or less than previous versions. All I can say is it's different. I am definitely enjoying it and playing a lot of games online, there's just a little learning curve. Bottom line if you liked the previous versions I think this will be a must get for you.

    Great gameplay with great graphics and action. Fans of previous Gears games will love this game and all it has to offer. The multiplayer is as good as past Gears and should give plenty of replay value.

    The storyline is good but they have a bit too much of it which delays doing the Campaigns. Fun game and good graphics. I would recommend but they starting the game between campaigns is a bit slow.

    I got this on sale so I can't speak to the value of the game. I get stuck in walls a lot, but for some reason I find it hilarious. It's like the glitch gremlin is in my Series X. Very detailed story line, fun to play.
