Gears of War is a battle game for survival. The story is about Marcus Fenix, (represented by you) a soldier who, in an attempt to save his father from death, goes against the rules of his order. He is then put into jail for 40 years for disobedience. Soon the prison is attacked by the Locust, and Marcus is taken back and put on active duty to fight for the remaining Earth-like planet. The theme of Gears of War evolves around the player going from one battle to another. The player must be very careful to avoid being caught in the open and ambushed with nowhere to hide. Most reviewers find Gears of War to be a fantastic game, where battles are against weird breed of creatures. They especially like the tactics of the battles. The game combines an excellent gameplay with superb level designs, non-linear battles that allow you to use any weapon or cover to eradicate threats. The storyline is quite unique leaving the solo player mode to stand out. The great thing about Gears of War’s online modes is that the gameplay is as good as the single player. Good graphics and good character models contribute to make Gears of War a success among gamers. Though it is a slow moving game, it is great.
