Multiplayer The multiplayer is a huge part of the Gears of War games, helping to cement the longevity of Xbox live. It's still a sold game but lacks the heart of the first two. So, for the single player story mode I would give Gears 3 a rating of 8.0 out of 10. As usual, the player needs to use the unique cover system to fight their way past the lambent and locust. All that being said, it is still a Gears game and the mechanics and gameplay are as solid as ever. I never felt like I was saving the world and I never really had a sense of urgency. In a game this epic and on this huge of scale, some of the missions felt small, pointless, and repetitive. Where the game stumbles is in the weak story telling. Also, it does a great job of bringing the nostalgia of the first Gears game to the audience I almost cried at one point. When the game does focus on the main characters, like Dom, it feels like the Gears of old, which is a huge plus. He is probably the flattest character in the whole series. I can't tell you how much I don't care about Jace. The game doesn't focus on the main characters the whole time. For the first time in the Gear's world I felt uninvolved. However, in Gears 3, I think it's the story that holds the game back.
Gears may not have had the most complex story, but I have always been compelled and invested in all the characters. I thought differently for the first two games. Many people say that the Gears of War games are not that deep and have a weak story.
I noticed when some of the bigger monsters came on screen the frame rate slowed down slightly. However, I would advise anyone who plays Gears 3 to install the game on their hard drive to make it run smoother. I applaud the time and effort it must have taken to render this game. The first thing I noticed when I booted this bad boy up was how detailed and beautiful it is to look at. However, I'm not sure Gears 3 lives up the the hype and standard of previous Gears games (at least in terms of single player). I feel the need to put a disclaimer here I am a huge Gears fan. The steroid-laced macho-men, who are the Cogs, are back to fight the lambent and save humanity. The third and most anticipated Gears of War hit shelves late 2011.
