Avis sur le produitGears of War 3 (Xbox 360, 2011)

Simply a great game!

It's Gears of War, no introduction is needed. One of the most compelling/interesting video game stories I've had the privilege to experience. Great gameplay, acting, storytelling and atmosphere (with a lot of improvements). Gears has been doing what it's been doing since 2006 and hasn't failed once to disappoint.

For those who haven't played a Gears of War game:

Do not play this if you haven't played the first two yet as this is a story-driven game. They have a neat "Previously on Gears" feature as a way to catch up on what's going on. But that's more of a memory refresher than a complete rundown of the last two games. Trust me, you're going to want to play them before jumping into the 3rd game. It's the only way to feel apart of the story and therefore the best way to play it... the only way.Lire l'avis complet...

Good game that does'nt disappoint.

I'm a big fan of the series,so I'll do my best to provide an unbiased review.The plot was good ,but I felt that there was a little bit of disconnect with the plot during gameplay. It was easy to forget what your objective would accomplish. I like the gameplay more so I wasn't to bothered by this. I like that they brought back some of the weapons from previous titles. I mostly stick with the rifle attached with a chainsaw. It's much more fun using a chainsaw over a gun. They also did a good job of mixing in some new weapons with a good amount of variety. That have also incorporated a command system for NPCs,but I just stuck to letting them do their thing. You'll really enjoy this game if you are a fan of the series.Lire l'avis complet...

Overall, a great game. Amazing online play, campaign was a bit of a letdown

I bought this game because I am a huge fan of the previous installments in the series and I loved playing the second Gears of War of online. The game immediately exceeded my expectiations when I played my first online match. I love how fast and smooth it is. The cover system is just as great as it was in GoW2 and it feels more integrated. My favorite parts are the new weapons, particularly the new starting weapons, the retro lancer and the sawed-off shotgun. They add a lot of new play-styles, as does the Digger, a new power weapon that burrows underground to bypass cover and forces enemies to leave their entrenched spot or accept defeat. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is that the campaign is not on the same level that the last two were on. The first and second GoW constantly forced you to think and fight creatively, and presented many unique situations that the player had to fight their way out of. This campaign is not as well thought-out and is mostly a string of monotonous fire fights until the last two chapters. The story is also much less emotional than the second game. They didn't characterize very well and the new characters often felt pointless and stale. I still have no understanding of who Jace or Sam really are, and Dom's character does not act like her experienced the horrors that he did in the second game.Lire l'avis complet...

VERDICT: Modern Warfare 3 Battlefield 3 Gears of War 3. Sorry PS3 Fans.

Being the biggest fan of this franchise since buying the limited edition of Gears of War 1 and enjoying every bit of that game, Gears of War 2 had been my biggest disappointment. Therefore, it had been very hard for me to be tempted enough to get this game.

I don't know what had driven me to do this, maybe it had been all the flashbacks and memories of Gears of War 1 and the tidbits of great moments in Gears of War 1 fantastic multiplayer. Maybe it had been the boredom I got from all the cod shooter games I've been playing, and, dare I say it, from battlefield games also.

Whatever it was, I'm glad today that I had done what I done and have not regretted a bit since. It is unexplainable how thrilling every piece of this game is. It is has been so well designed that it should have been $120 game, $60 for its campaign and the cooperative and $60 for its multiplayer and horde. No cod game has ever had a good campaign mode, even cod fans admit that, but no fan will ever admit that the multiplayer has also remained unchanged since call of duty 4.

Some of my friends say that this is call of duty with a MUCH better campaign mode. I say that this is call of duty with a MUCH better campaign mode, an INFINITELY times better multiplayer, and a much better coop. So what I'm pretty much saying is that this isn't call of duty at all, it's Gears of War. Buy it.

Counter-arguments to my review: This is a love or hate game. I'm a huge fan but not a hardcore one. The most hardcore fans who loved everything about Gears of War 1, will hate the dramatic changes in the machine guns. Sawed-Off shotgun is now overpowered, lancer is now so strong that it can be used the entire game without any shotgun, and the gun that every gears loved and used, the gnasher shotgun, is no longer as useful as it used to be. Sadly I admit, gears of war 3 has tried to make this game appeal to the noob fanbase and now kills take a lot less skill to achieve. I still love it anyway.Lire l'avis complet...

best gears of war yet

At the former, Gears 3 ultimately succeeds, especially in its rich suite of multiplayer content. Even the singleplayer campaign somehow manages to feel fresh despite rather conservative changes and a palpable sense of deja-vu coloring the majority of the campaign. As for the latter? Shakespeare this ain't, and Gears 3 struggles at times with its forced attempts at heart-string pluckery, but I can forgive it as much; gore-starved guns adorned with toothy chainsaws easily atone for any cheesiness suffered along the way.

Destroyed beauty, hope runs deep, brothers; to the end. Part poetry, mostly marketing slang, the Gears 3 story continues with what amounts to a blood-drenched tale of woe, suffering, loss and absolution, cathartica that stands out in harsh relief when framed by the '80s era Schwarzenegger-ness of most of the dialogue. Cue the attendant grimaces, bro-vado and non-stop X-TREME one-liners. Translation: Gears 3 delivers exactly what you'd expect on the story side, ironically good news for longtime fans. For the rest of you, roll your eyes, chuckle and carry on. It's not Gears of War and Peace, people!

Things on Sera have gone from really sucky to really-really-sucky in Gears 3. The Coalition of Ordered Government, aka COG, has all but disbanded and fallen even farther out of favor with Stranded and survivors alike, if that were even possible. The action follows Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad's last stand against the Locust and every garden variety of Lambent, creatures that have become infected by Sera's yellow glowing Imulsion fuel.

Drama aplenty ensues, along with lots of surprises for all your favorite giant macho dudes. Dom sports a scruffy playoff beard and overalls, Cole faces a serious mid-life crisis, bad guys spurt out from the ground like Locust geysers (gone are the Emergence Holes, replaced by the aforementioned geyser action and troop-spewing stalks), there are more Carmines and wouldn't you know it, Marcus' dad is alive. WTF, Epic?

Everything about Gears 3 exudes polish. On the surface, it easily outperforms its two predecessors. Crisp visuals, fractured lighting and billowy smoke effects bring the world to life, giving this final and ever-decaying vision of Sera a tangible sense of place. The sound design creates one of the more cohesive combinations of music and sound effects in any game, fashioning an immediately recognizable experience.

At its heart, Gears tells a story of survival. Everything you do over the course of the five-act story revolves around endurance. You'll go from escaping ambushes to scrounging for supplies to scavenging fuel to using ammo-less Retro Lancers in nasty-ass bayonet fights. Everything feels solemnly desperate and dire, a motif the designers use to great effect throughout the campaign.

Delta Squad has grown and changed, bringing the total number of playable characters to eight, adding the now-armored Anya Stroud, Samantha "Sam" Byrne and Jayson "Jace" Strattonplus to the ranks alongside Marcus, Dom, Cole, Baird and, of course, Carmine.

Gears 3 feels exactly the way you'd expect it to feel, but better, as everything's been overhauled and fine-tuned. The roadie run feels faster, snapping into cover works better and combat has been tightened-up. Plus you can kick fools while you vault over cover, which seriously rules. There's a ton of new implements of doom with which to shoot, impale, gouge and chew up your enemies with, including weapons like theLire l'avis complet...

Good game - a bit too much story

I like the game, but it has a bit too much story (interrupts my game-play). I want to blast/destroy/kill and don't want to hear about the characters busting each other's chops. Still good though :-)

Great game that holds up!

Great game that holds up. Gears I and Gears II feel dated, but Gears III looks great and the controls feel very responsive.
