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
Lengthy campaign ties up pretty much every loose end in the trilogy. Fourplayer cooperative mode provides ample reason to play and replay story missions. Deep multiplayer filled with fresh modes and unlockable status rewards will keep fans playing for months.
The fourplayer campaign has resulted in a slight but noticeable drop in difficulty. Narrative won’t do much to clam up series detractors who like to lay into the franchise’s penchant for soapy melodrama.

The best shooter you’ll find on any console. Great new weapons and enemies. Easy on the eye. Beast mode and Horde 2.0. Pretty much everything not listed under 'downs'.
The cutscenes are appalling. Irritating, one-dimensional characters. Vehicle levels and boss fights still grate. May cost you your job/relationship/tan.
Abstract: Muscle-bound men, smears of blood and guts, and giant, glowing monsters are all stock-standard for the Gears franchise. But this time around, something’s different. Where Gears 2 lacked any real emotional depth, Gears of War 3 not only hits the nail on...
Abstract: I can't believe everyone actually died, what a courageous way to end this highly influential trilogy. Just kidding. Wow, you should have seen your face.Anyway, did you know that some felt the first Gears of War was the first truly "next-gen" game of th...
