I just got this for the Destroyed Beauty book that comes with the collector's edition. It's unfortunate that the contents of the tin have sharp corners but the tin itself has rounded corners causing the book and the disc holder to bend their corners. The game itself is awesome with a great base for a story, especially for a FPS. I ended up buying the novel for supplemental story and ended up liking the book, too. The cutscenes were done well and I liked the voice acting in it despite some cheesy lines. It's one of those things where it's not particularly the voice actors fauly, but rather the script. some games just have bad voice actors casted for the character. Online play, if you have an xbox live subscription, is pretty good. I hardly ever have too many games where i experience bad lag.Read full review
This game has great graphics ,great sound ,great gameplay and great story. Yes, all of this can make an excellent game but, I've rated it "good" because it s getting to the point of Halo 2, where people trash talk and make fun of you instead of trying to help you. I found that all this game does is make me mad, yes, I am good at it but it still makes me mad how things choose when they are going to work. Ex. the chainsaw, sometimes you can run up to someone not looking at you and it will work, other times nothing will happen. There are alot of things to be worked out besides this,but overall it is a good game,but if you impatient like me your'e going to find yourself mad at it alot.
It is an excellent game that has good graphics for that time, excellent story and for gears fans it is a must have. This limited collectors' edition looks awesome, the steel case and the art book are pretty detailed. Also it is a must for any Gears fans out there. Recommended.

I absolutely love Gears of War. The graphics are amazing and the storyline is really easy to get into. I like that there are different types of game play involved and the weapons are easy to use. There are a lot of really cool achievements you can get. If you like first person shooters and getting the perfect headshot off on a monster then this is the game for you. This is also a really good game to play co-op. I actually prefer it on this one. If your character is downed, your friend can come revive you. Co-op can also be played by a system link if your friend has their own 360 and a copy of the game. I just bought this second copy so we could use two tv's/consoles. Online play brings a whole new level to the game. Another cool aspect of the game is while you are playing, you have to look for cog tags (like dog tags) of your fallen comrades. If you play the game through and miss some it's okay because the ones you already found will be counted and you can go back and get the ones you missed the second (or third) time around. Once you find a set you never need to find them again. If you are playing co-op and your buddy finds a pair it counts for you too. Definitely buy this game and enjoy! Gears of War 2 is out and while there are a lot of cool updates like better online play, unique kills, weapons and grenades, I still prefer the first one for the actual campaign.Read full review
Gears of War Simpyl amazing! Gears of War is SPECTACULAR!!! This game lives up to all the hype surrounding it. I started playing campaign mode right away, and was amazed by the incredibly fast load times, even the online play loads incredibly quick. Now there are a lot of games on the next-gen consoles that look like they should be on the older consoles, some even look like they belong on N64 or Sega Saturn. Gears of War takes the potential of the Xbox 360 and runs with it. Simply put, this game is amazing. Gears of War offers more than your typical run and gun, if you want to survive you must use objects to take cover. If you try to run and gun you won't succeed. There's no cross hairs unless you are holding the aim button, that kinda sucks, but you get used to it. Pros: - This game rocks - Not just a run and gun, you need to think fast and act faster - Fast load screens, even in multiplayer - Graphics are superb - Very easy controls, the "A" button does most of the work - Weapon Selection - Overall Gameplay - Graphics, I know, I know, but the graphics are that good - Playing in the harder difficulties is actually harder, the AI is smart and challenging, instead of the increase of enemies that is usually the solution in FPS games - Chainsaw and curb stomp kills - The end of the game pretty much tells you there will be a sequel Cons: - Unless you have an internet connection, you might be a little dissapointed with the length of single player mode - Other than that... NONE!!! Final Verdict: Graphics 5/5 Audio 5/5 Controls 5/5 Gameplay/Story 5/5 Replay Value 5/5 Overall 5/5 Buy or Rent?: Buy, unless you dont play multiplayer, then you can rent and beat, but you still might want to own it. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.Read full review
