Gears of War: Collector’s Edition
This is truly the best war based game I have ever played.
The collector’s edition includes the game, a behind the scens disk (which isn’t spectacular), a free XBlive accout for 48 days (this may come with the regular game), a cool hardcover book with images and text about the game, and a really nice, but big, tin box.
All told the game is what makes this package shine!
Thr graphis are immersive and dark. They’re so good you don’t notice them outside of cutscenes, you’re to immersed.
The sound is super spooky. Same as above, you don’t hear VO or music. It all just blends into the experience.
The game play is what it should be. This is a war game.
Your heart beats, you’re looking around scared, you’re cowering behind objects, and then you’re running and gunning to protect your team.
I’m playing it through in co-op mode because that’s my favourite type of gameplay. This game delivers!
The AI is smart enough to take advantage of you if you aren’t smart. Jumping out into the open is not a good idea!
You truly get the feling that 4 men against an army is NOT a good idea!
The only drawback I’ve found is that the game doesn’t handle mulitple save games so if you want to go back and show this game to another friend you’ll save at that spot.
Buy this game!
Tony Hawk: Project 8 - XB360
