The more games I see for the Xbox 360, the more I am being disappointed and GoW is no exception. Perhaps there are people out there who will find this game and love it. After all it does have reasonable graphics, some pretty cut scenes and an OK(ish) story line. But all this should be standard for a Next Gen Console game on any of the platforms. My problem with it is the sheer boredom it produces within minutes of starting; being forced to use under-powered, inaccurate weapons to almost ceaselessly pound away at enemies who seem to be able to kill the player with only a couple of shots is not my idea of fun.
It's possible that having solidly played Call of Duty 4 for the last ten days and then switching to GoW, I've been spoiled by what, to me, is a vastly superior game in almost every possible aspect.
Consequently, Gears of War will now find itself on the growing pile of expensive rip-offs that I have accumulated for this console which may soon find themselves listed for auction and awaiting the poor souls who find this sort of thing entertaining.
My rating for this game 3 / 10.
