Doesn't introduce many new gameplay elements

Slightly underwhelming ending given the epic scale of the overall story.

Can't quite achieve the emotional depths it aims for
Abstract: to the story of the Gears. The attention to detail on every level is pervasive, as it is nearly comprehensive. Like any game, even the best ones, there are flubs and flaws to be had, but I can guarantee you that after you've spent about 15-20 hours in...

Abstract: Rating:It's been a long time coming – one of the first, few major franchises to propel the Xbox 360 above and beyond Sony's Playstation 3, has finally come to a close. Gears of War, the Epic Games trilogy of oversized men, consistent badmouthing, true bul...
Abstract: Sometimes it seems like developers are not interested in conclusions, rather they like franchises to go on for as long as they can. As such, the chance of the formula becoming stale increases with each installment. I hope that Gears of War isn't one of...
Abstract: The totally epic and stunningly awesome ending of this well known Xbox 360 third person action game just came to the worldwide market and made a lot of gamers wait in queues in front of the stores. There is just a little bit that is possible to critici...
It's still the best third-person shooter out there by quite some margin but, equally, it's just not quite as impacting as its two predecessors. Long-time fans will be happy with how Epic has tied all the loose ends together, but dabblers in the series ...
Abstract: Back in late 2006, Microsoft was getting a little concerned that their five-billion-dollar-baby might fail. They had launched the Xbox 360 a year before, and the Xbox division of the company was billions of dollars in the hole, and there just wasn't...
Abstract: One could argue that the original Gears of War was responsible for kick-starting the current console generation of blockbuster gaming experiences; much like what the movie Jaws did for summer blockbusters, the big-budget visuals, high octa...
Abstract: There's nothing quite like a good ending. And I don't mean good in the sense that everything turns up roses, because that's certainly not the case for Gears of War 3's cast of motley characters. What I mean is that things get resolved, have a sense of ...
Abstract: Epic have really outdone themselves this time. They have always managed to produce great games but there were little niggles in the first and second Gears titles that detracted from the overall experience. With the first game it was the sluggish respon...
Abstract: To call Gears of War 3 one of the most anticipated games of the year for the Xbox 360 is a bit of an understatement. Microsoft has been throwing Gears parties for months to create a frenzy and it appears their work is paying off. More than one million ...
