Story:A third-person tactical shooter from Epic, running on the Unreal Engine 3. Gears of War thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing story of humankind's epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet.
Unlike other shooters, Gears of War is all about teamwork in a big way. All game modes, levels and scenarios are designed specifically to encourage co-operative play, whether it be with A.I. partners or human players (with A.I. teammates designed with specific strengths, weaknesses and personalities.) On top of that, voice recognition will be available for players, and obviously voice chat to discuss strategy with your friends. In addition to voice chat, gamers will be able to experience individualized matchmaking, view player statistics, earn player achievements, customize their games, and build and personalize their gamer profiles over Xbox Live.Show more
Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.1 202
One of the best games on Xbox back in the day. I have fond memories playing co-op with my dad. Gears 1 actually had a pc port, but it was never released digitally and was plagued with games for windows live. I would love a digital release on GOG without GFWL and with multiplayer too if possible.
I grew up with Gears, seeing my father, then me, play. Awesome experience from end to beginning. A story set in a world where humans are being overruned with strange aline species, mowing dawn humanity, that is something. From the ennemies to the weapons, Gears has a universe so interresting that it's such a shame the 3 original game are not on PC.
The first game that made me choose the 360 over PC gaming. A single preview from a gaming magazine on Liverpool store, showing a horror, tactic game, totally different compared to Unreal Tournament, made for the same developers, Epic Games. The premise made me fall in love, and it has a pretty good campaign. The multiplayer componente was primitive but it was fun.
die hard gears fan right here! i own all the games lol and still enjoy them all but they could of left some things alone cause my feels man! my freaking feels! i know its not for everyone taste and preference but hell the gears series was one of many growing up playing and loved the combat system and story. hands down a great game that needs more recognition.

At the end of each level two doors are presented which both lead to different levels, although all paths eventually lead to the same ending.Action Horror Survival
