Re: Gears of War preview

Here are my review predictions...

Gamespot 9.1
IGN 9.5
TeamXbox 9.7

I personally think all three sites will be above 9.5.

If I could of found it early I would. I'm guess it's at a lot of distrubtion area's and most stores that are going to sell today are driving to get their copies. I know my EB and Gamestop are doing that.

You're probably right. I saw somewhere in scouring the net that the gamespot review score was released and it was a 9.6.

It's 8:37 EST, right now. Not much longer for reviews. Looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get my copy, though.

Re: Gears of War preview

Only concerns I really have with the game is, only three game modes and how much the mention "stop and pop", but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

I thought I did hear on the gamespot video review that there are no respawns in the mutliplayer modes, not sure if I like that or not. Should of been an option.

As far as being able to heel your teamate, that's also something im not sure if I like or not . In a way it's good because you will want to play together instead of just "running and gunning" but, if it's two on one and the other two guys are staying together, it seems like it would almost be impossible for the guy by himself to win the match.

Guess we will know soon. I think im going to love this game though. That was just a few concerns.

Reviews will be out just in time for me to read at work. Can't wait!

I'd like to play the co-op online, but that's about it.

9.6


Gamespot 9.6

The Good: Stellar graphics reset the bar for what consoles can do visually; great soundtrack and killer sound effects; satisfying gameplay in single-player mode; very addictive online play; best use of a chainsaw in any game, ever.
The Bad: Story could have been a bit more fleshed out; difficulty could have used some slight tuning.

Impressive start
