    When you thought the well was dry for this series, they manage to pull you back in and make it even stronger. So many new changes to the game modes as well as player mechanics make this a must-have for any gamer.

    Gears continues to be better than COD in my opinion. They don't pump them out like an assembly line and they make a great game! Very pleased again!

    I purchased this game way after its debut.. the Game is pretty good, I've played it a total of maybe 5 hours but managed to stay engaged the whole time. It isn't much different than other gears games so if you like the others you'll like this also.

    I only buy Gears games for the campaign, and this was just okay. Visuals were amazing, however. I hear the multiplayer is classic Gears. Unfortunately, I've never really gotten into the Gears multiplayer so I can't really provide any input on that.

    The story mode i think played far better than the previous installment. The addition of escape and updates to horde mode really made it fun to play online.

    Best of the best video game! Love the mechanics of this game but MS needs to get their servers together. Takes way too long to load and start a match

    I was a little leary of purchasing this for my 11 year old son because of the M rating, however, was pleased to know that the player doesn't ever shoot and kill human beings in this game. The targets are aliens/monsters/zombies. I feel that it is appropriate for early teens to adults.

    I can't complain got it for $5. Needed this to add to my collection of gears. The gears game always had a awesome story telling and this one does not disappoint.

    I bought this to complete the GOW franchise. I found it a little boring. Its more of the same. I think its time for Microsoft to step up their game specially since this franchise is exclusive.

    I'll be honest I haven't played this game yet but for $3 it doesn't have to be really good for it to be a good value.

    I got it during a clearance sale. Seems worth it, and I like the Gears story campaign, so look forward to playing this as well.
