This game is a total gem especially compared to the later releases. There is a sense of force and impact with everything that you do, and you basically play as football players with chainsaw guns fighting underground mutants. What's not to love? Totally properly introduced the cover-based 3rd person shooter to the world and one of the few games I've spent multiple nights playing until the morning. Maybe I have rose-colored goggles but this game is just awesome start to finish.
Hoje eu afirmaria sem titubear que jogar videogames é jogar "Gears of War" – como posso ter ignorado o game ao longo dos mais de cinco anos que estive ao lado do meu Xbox 360!? Comecei a campanha no Series S, via retrocompatibilidade, e simplesmente não consegui parar. A dinâmica de atirar e avançar é muito boa. Até parece que não vamos chegar em nenhum lugar com isso – apesar do prazer de estourar vários Locust no caminho –, mas felizmente surgem novos estímulos e ferramentas durante o gameplay. Tudo de uma maneira didática e orgânica. Já estou com o segundo baixado. Deus abençoe o Game Pass.
Esp: El comienzo de esta saga es muy bueno, un shooter enfocado en la acción y el enfrentamiento a locust. Es interesante ver a nuestro pelotón a través de distintos puntos de la ciudad en ruinas combatiendo abominaciones locust, tiene un modo historia sólido y buenos momentos.
Eng: The beginning of this saga is very good, a shooter focused on action and confrontation with locust. It's interesting to see our squad through different parts of the ruined city fighting locust abominations, it has a solid story mode and good times.

Respectably solid in nearly every way but narrative. It's kind of crazy to go back and see this weird, melancholy beast of a game with its aesthetics of crumbling opulence and political undertones of a dangerous fascistic empire that the literal earth wants to overturn after so many years and games that have cribbed from it wholesale. I still think the storytelling is too sparse for its own good, but the mechanical foundations are hard to deny in how airtight and well-oiled they all are. I should really get around to the remake and see if that shores up my issues with this game, because there really is a skeleton of something I could love in here beneath the frustrating elements.
While everyone else with an Xbox was hyping Halo to death, I was knee deep in grub blood tryna fight my way through Locust and save the world from a gurgling war. For me Gears of War was Xbox's biggest flagship game. For years when I thought of Xbox, I thought of Gears of War (and Fable). This was THE Xbox experience and I highly recommend it.
