    Gears 4 is great and was a lot of fun. Fantastic gameplay, graphics, characters, and even story. Gears 4 doesn't take itself as serious as the games before and in a good way. Other people have already said this but the main character (Marcus Fenix's son) will remind you of Nathan Drake from Uncharted..on steroids. Gears 4 came with Gears 1-Judgement included (backward capability) and I'm excited to replay the trilogy. I recommend.

    Although a year old game, this Xbox one x update is wonderful. Graphics are extremely visual. Game has the option for smooth 60 FPS or stunningly visual 4K. With these options it was like playing a whole new game again. Loved it.

    When I bought this game I was expecting to get just Gears of War 4 but it also came with digital codes for the 4 previous GoW titles. I got 5 games for the price of one. This was a steal and a must have for Xbox one owners .

    I’ve been a loyal Gears fan since day 1 of Gears 1 on the Xbox 360. I also purchased the Gears Ultimate Edition for the Xbox one. I played the Gears of War 4 beta and wasn’t completely sold. However, after purchasing the full game I have come to appreciate the new addition to the Gears franchise. The campaign is great along with the multiplayer modes. I also really enjoy playing Horde. The graphics are also nice, especially on the Xbox One X. I have already recommended to several of my friends!

    Only a few hours into the game but it feels like a nice new entry into the series. I've played all the Gears games prior to this and have loved most all of them. This is a great addition to any Gears fans library.

    If you've played any of the previous Gears of War games, you should know what to expect. The game doesn't do much to exceed expectations, but it does an excellent job at satisfying them. The campaign is a lot of fun, aside from an abrupt ending that setups up the next game. Multiplayer is well done too, much like before. Horde 3.0 is a nice improvement. Dealing with things like classes, perks, etc., it is very in depth. Gears 4 is a great game, if you like Gears already. If not, then it likely won't sway your opinion.

    This one hits it out of the park. Great action, story and gameplay. Right up there with PlayStation exclusives like uncharted and the last of us. A must own for Xbox players. Looks awesome in 4K.

    Before playing this one, I went back and played all of the others. What a noticeable difference playing Gears completely built for this generation. Can’t wait to see it on a One X and 4K setup.

    Perhaps one if not the best exclusive Microsoft has to offer on the xbox one. Solid gameplay, gorgeous graphics, high development value, great online play, hours of online features to explore.

    Holly Snapple, Batman! The graphics are great, and the gameplay is familiar. It came with a digital download of the other GOW games too. This compared to the first installment is mind-blowing!

    I played the first 3 games but I did'nt play GOW : Judgement. This is a really good addition to the GOW series. The story is good, just a little short and the multiplayer is great. I like the addition of the packs, where u get random cards to upgrade your character and weapons. I like the fact that you can play the game and get credits, then use those in-game credits to buy the packs and not have to use real money. If you liked GOW and GOW 3 then you will like GOW 4.

    This game brought back a lot of good memories from the original 3 and the add on to the story did not upset me in any way. I would be interested in there being another game to the series.

    Pretty Good Story. A bit repetitive

    Nothing bad could ever be said about the Gears trilogy, Judgement had it's slip-ups but it was a good story nonetheless. Gears 4 falls along that same line as Judgement but is executed a little better. The introduction of new weapons, new enemies and Old man Marcus saves this game from being the worst in the series. I enjoy the story arc and visuals but it tends to get a little repetitive with the new enemies. I won't spoil anything but there is a familiar mechanic that is stressed in the campaign that you would normally see elsewhere. Aside from my personal mishaps with the game it is definitely worth the buy.

    I have never played the Gears of War series on the Xbox and I have to say this is one of the best games I've ever played. This game came with all of the previous Gears of War games so this is really good deal, unless you already have them. The campaign was amazing, Horde is really fun, especially when you have friends to play with, and the multiplayer is pretty good even though I'm not that good against players. (Multiplayer has 60 FPS if anyone cares)
