Time took to complete: Campaign stats has many details but the time :/.....Finished on HARDCORE
First off, I was very pleasantly surprised by the fact that not having
played any Gears, plus them being marines on steroids, I still found
myself caring in most aspects of the story. To the point of edge of seat
emotion or tearing up even, so huge kudos to Epic there.
Art direction is another area where huge kudos is due, the game looks
absolutely jaw dropping in many places and taking in the scenery is such
a joy.
The game probably also has the best gore tech this gen. I love how the
blood on the wall trickles and shotgunning people to pieces, yeah, it's
going to take a long time for that to get old.
It wasn't perfect unfortunately, campaign's gameplay can get a bit stale
at times with lengthy bits of just 'cover and shoot' bits. But outside a
couple of long stretches of that, the game does a great job of keeping
it varied and the game has some very interesting parts, gameplay wise.
MP is amazing, one of the best MPs this gen. Balanced, no stupid "level
80 will pwn level 1" BS, everyone is on level playing ground far as
weapons and stuff. It's old school MP fun of "I can think and shoot
better than you". It's simple weapon tactics and out-thinking the enemy.
As an overall package, this is an easy 9/10.
