Gears of war 3 review

There is a possibility that “Gears of War 3” may be the last game in the “Gears” series to be released

The campaign overall is fast-paced and extremely fun. While the general objective of the campaign is to shoot all of the locust monsters that cross your path, the game provides a variety of gorgeous settings to do it in, along with interesting weapons to shoot locusts with.

 

The story is surprisingly engaging as well, answering some questions that have been raised throughout the series, while also leaving some things a mystery to keep it interesting.

Outside of the campaign there are a huge number of multiplayer options in the game, both cooperative and competitive

The campaign has cooperative play through split-screen or on Xbox Live, and there is also an arcade mode for the campaign as well, which is all about getting the highest score in each level.

Horde mode returns in “Gears 3,” but with a few tweaks. Players can now build and upgrade defenses like barriers and turrets between each wave of enemies. Guns and ammo now cost money to pick up as well, taking some inspiration from the zombie mode in “Call of Duty: Black Ops.”

A brand new mode for “Gears 3” is “Beast mode,” which gives the option to play as a locust while trying to destroy waves of human soldiers in the shortest time possible.

Finally, there is the competitive multiplayer. There are six different game types to choose from. The multiplayer is fun and there is little downtime between matches, so there are no long waits after a match. The learning curve can be a little steep with the skill of some players online being so high, but it is still a very enjoyable experience overall.

There is a huge amount of fun content packed into “Gears of War 3,” with more on the way in the form of downloadable content.

Fans of earlier “Gears” games or those who enjoy a great shooter won’t regret picking up “Gears of War 3.”
