Gears of war was released back in late 2006 and was known for its graphics for the time and the chainsaw lancer assult rifle but is it proof better graphics dont make a better game or is it really a great game.

The story has you playing as Marcus Phinex a soldier who ended up in jail for treason in the pengilem war but due to a race called The Locust invading from underground the C.O.G army are getting desperite so they send a soldier named Dominic Santiago to bust Marcus out of jail. The story spreads across 6 very long chapters and will take roughly 8 to 10 hours to complete depending on difficulty and youll meet lots of different personalitys along the way as well as some epic memorable scenes.

The first thing you will notice about the game are the graphics and physics that won the game countless awards, the voice acting is top notch, the graphics border almost reallife looking but the game is almost nothing but grey but it adds to feeling of how serious war is and the online multiplayer is'nt that bad and it kept number one spot on xbox lives most played list for nearly a year and theres still a huge ammount of players still playing even though Gears of war 2 is now availible proof the game adds class with age because there no framerate drops ormajor bugs to be listed.

overall the game is still worth the time and money with age and youll end up playing for hours at a time.
