Why is this game so BRIGHT ???
That's the first thing I noticed about Gears 3. Why so bright ? What compelled you to go this way ? The dark aesthetics worked so well in 1 and 2, and here you just feel like it's a MTN Dew sponsored game for gringos.
The game itself is awesome and a vast improvement on the gameplay of Gears 2, but the campaign I feel is a lot more one-trick than the previous one. A lot less diversity, a lot more straightforward, and not much going on in the story except for THAT moment.
This was also the era in which multiplayer was peaking. And bonus : you can play the multiplayer offline with bots, too. For someone like me, back then, who only had rubbish ADSL routers that couldn't load anything properly, this was a godsend. I think this game has the best unlocks in a level-based multiplayer. You constantly want to keep moving forward and unlock more stuff.
