Gears of War 3 Review

If there is one word for Gears of War 3 it is 'a real badass game.' The developer Epic Game has gone more epic with the new addition into the Gears franchise by providing the most stupendous third person shooter gameplay onto the new generation console.\n\nThis time the developers have tried to make some decent changes into the game among them is the storyline. This time around the story feels much more profound and strong than the previous sequels. The game feels downright superb with its multiplayer content and the single player campaign mode is not that bad either. Despite some tweaks in the single player such as tidying up the environment and trying to give a different look to each level, the game sometime to feel like déjà-vu, seeing the same old color content everywhere, but the game manages to cover this all up with its brutal, bro-motional, blood slathering gameplay.\nThings have gone really out of control and hopeless in Sera since the Gears of War 2 and the COG (Coalition of Ordered Government) has become weaker than ever. The game starts off with Marcus, Fenix and Delta Squad following their last confrontation with Locust and Lambent who have been affected by Sera's yellow glowing Imulsion fuel.\n\n\n\nDespite all the miseries and adversaries the team is back with little changes to the macho dudes. Dom has grown a beard where as Cole is going through some serious mid-life crisis and one thing that surprises us all Marcus father is still alive!\n\nThis final Gears of War is nothing short of epicness. In terms of visuals and graphics the game out performs it's last two predecessors. With sheer clear and augmented visuals, fractured lighting and undulating smoke effects, the environment sure looks lively. As for the sound design it offers a great blend of sound effects and the most cohesive music structure.\nGears of War at its heart is a survival game. Everything that you do in the game is based on your ability to survive for the next level. You will have to go through the ambushes, looking for supplies and hunting for the ammos to keeping your chainsaw badass gun running.\n\nSome new players have entered into the Delta Squad in Gears of War 3 making a total of eight players. The newcomers include Anya Stroud, Sam (Samantha Byrne) and Jayson Strattonplus as \"Jace\" and the rest of the team includes our very own Marcus, Cole, Dom, Carmine and Baird.\nGears of War 3 is everything you wanted but in a better way. The combat system has been made more responsive and tight. There are just so many ways with which you can put your enemy to death sleep along with a variety of weapons such as Digger which fires underground grenades to perform AOE kills and the Silverback.\n\nIn a nutshell, the game is outright outstanding and you will surely stay in its trauma for a week or so after finishing the Gears of War 3. Gears of War 3 is something that should not be missed.\n\nFahad Majidi
