Campaign Rocks, Multiplayer is Horrible

Pros Cons
Intense action Terrible multiplayer
Addictive gameplay Doesn't live up to expectations
Amazing visuals Unresponsive controls

After playing this game for a few weeks, I have come to two conclusions about this game, The campaign is simply awesome, and can be replayed numerous times without becoming stale. On xbox live however, this game is absolutely horrendous. It takes 15 to 20 minutes sometimes just to get into a match, and when your finally in one, your faced against players that you stand no chance against. I thought the purpose of matchmaking was to pair players against opponents of similar skill? Also, the gameplay is extremely glitchy. The only feasable ways to kill people are by the chainsaw, melee, or frag tagging, all of which are cheap shots in my opinion. I can't believe epic would allow this half assed attempt of a game to go out on the market. They seriously need to fix the multiplayer problems or there will be many unhappy fans.

Gears of War 2 has been polished so perfectly I cannot see where they can improve anything for Gears 3! The constantly updating achievement list was great! The body shield was amazing too! How can it get better!?

Better than the first

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay Repetitive gameplay
Tight controls
Just plain fun
Amazing visuals
Intense action

Finished the one player mission and loved it. A great shooter with better visuals and 'moments' than the first. Lots of great action and just fun to play.

Play it. Its awesome

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay

I just got done playing the single player missions and while its a little short, its is one of the most action packed shooters I have played since Halo. The vehicle controls absolutely suck, but everything else IS TOP NOTCH. If you have a high def TV then you must play this game. If you don't you must play this game. Online is a blast thanks to horde mode. I personally am not that good at fighting other people online ( I have a job and little spare time to practice ) but with horde mode you co-operate with other people to kill the locust. Buy it, love it. (Wait till you fly the reaper..... my personal favorite)

This game is awesome. If you dont have it go buy it immediately. The new horde mode is the best 5-player co-op ever made and will keep you playing hours on end.
