Gears of War: Xbox 360: Rating: 8

Great game but a little short.

The graphics were awesome and the game play is pretty sweet but there are a few things i didnt like. You use the same button to go to cover up against a wall as to jump away from cover and jump over barriers. A few times if i was in cover I would get stuck there when trying to melee a close oponent and i would be stuck and the enemy would just bash me to death.

I did enjoy it, but the cut scenes were a littel tedious and kinda hokey. I rented it and I would recommend renting as you can finish it quick and I dont see a lot of additional play. Its hard enough on hard mode, i had to switch to regular mode a couple times after repeating the same mission over and over unsuccessfully. I ususally start games on hard mode so the game play will last longer.

Graphics: 10 - incredible nextgen graphics, no bugs that I noticed.
Gameplay: 8 - somewhat intuitive controls but a few things that could be improved. Died a few times because I couldnt get the controller to respond the way I wanted.
Difficulty: 7 - Some of the difficulty was due to controller, the bezerkers are really hard.
Length: 5 - A little short - you could beat the game in less than a week.
Replayability: 3 - once will do it, didnt try the multiplayer though
