Gears of War PC Review

- Really stellar graphics from both a technical and an artistic standpoint Â
- Fully-featured level editor included.
I was initially surprised to see what GOW had to offer..As it offered tooo much excitement too quickly and was not able to keep up to the initial excitement, as after a few hours the gameplay gets a tag repetative, but not sooo repetative that u will get bugged.. Mainly as even though the gameplay is repetative it just provides too much fun,too much gore and too much blood.. Who wouldn like to see the enemies get torn to pieces or blood all over ur screen when u draw the chain saw dow ur enemies spine.. Its just awesome.. It is mainly due to these awesome moments that GOW will not get on ur nerves cos of its repetativeness and you will want to finish the game.. Apart from all the blood and gore the other cool concept of GOW is the cover mechanics.. The cover mechanics keeps things very realistic as without taking cover it is nearly impossible to take down ur enemy as in real life.. There are some really cool weapons in GOW.. Using a gun is really satisfying..

The graphics of GOW is just breathtaking.. Especially the cutscenes,they look stunning.. Even the blood splashing on the screen looks gr8.. The character models are top notch.. The enemy designs are just superb and also sometimes scary.. Could have done a better job on the texture i guess.. But make no mistake GOW is right up there with CRYSIS,BIOSHOCK,COD4 as far as graphics are concerned..
The voice acting is superb and u can feel the nature of every cahracter from the voice.. The music is cool and fits the game well.. The weapons too sounds gr8.. And the best part is when a chainsaw goes deep down your enemy’s spine.. Wow it just sounds as cool as it looks.. Even better..
The story is pretty stright forwarrd..But its engaging nevertheless.. The game is on the difficult side.. Even on the easiest difficulty u may die quite a few times.. U can also change ur difficulty anytime during the game.. The story as a whole is short but considering the difficulty u will be spending somewhere around 15 hrs with this game..The game is not soo difficult that u will start plucking hair out of ur head out frustration, once u get a hang of it u will surely enjoy it.. I was never a fan of the checkpoint system.. But this game proves that even if bad things are done right , then it can turn out ot be good.. The game has a really cool checkpoint system keeping in mind that u don end up repeating the scenarios over and over…
Another prob with GOW is that there is not much of exploration in the game.. And this also adds the repetative gameplay mentioned earlier.. Make one thing clear if u r into games where u just gun down enemies then this is surely not ur cup of tea.. But if u r a gamer who enjoys a bit of challenge and loves to see realistic action then this surely is ur game.. I would suggest this game to gamers who love to see violence as GOW is violence blood and gore to the fullest.
