This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
I've always thought that the first gears of war was just "alright" nothing too special about it. But then gears of war 2 exceeded my expectations through the roof and I fell in love with the franchise, so needless to say I was excited for gears of war 3. First things first, the graphics for this game were unbelievable, the detail in every little thing looked amazing. The all new horde mode was my favorite thing about this game. It was addicting when it came to leveling up whoever your character may be. I loved how you could level up the fortifications, turrets, and so on. That was very well done. The only complaint I have with the game was the campaign. Yes I understand that everything is so scarce and limited. But do we really have to do an entire act on just getting fuel? I felt as if the gears were just running errands for the majority of it. I felt as if the franchise lost its imagination. Part of it may be my fault as well. I was hoping for another large leap (from gears 1 to gears 2). I missed the brilliant imagination when you were inside a gargantuan worm destroying cities, or riding a brumak, or discovering and exploring the locusts stronghold underneath the surface. And in that department I felt gears of war 3 did not deliver. But all of the multiplayer modes were addicting. Horde was incredible, beast was fun as well, and along with the playlists in versus. The story line started off a little weak but got stronger throughout the campaign. In the end gears of war 3 is an incredible game and excellent for gamers who like to play multiplayer with one another.

this is so far the last great gears of war. it predecessor judgment which I thought would be even better than part 3, but wasn't. it lacked the thing that made gears 2 game changer and gears 3 amazing and that was horde now im going to buy a used copy of gears 3, just for horde.

This was a very good addition to the Gears series. The Campaign was lots of hours out of how ever you want to play. The Horde mode was an awesome addition that can make you play forever. They have multiplayer campaign which is awesome to play with all your friends.

I like Gears of War 3. You should get this game if you like Gears of War or Gears of War 2. These 3 games are very similar but you would kind of expect that because they are in the same series. I really disliked the multiplayer in this game but thats just me. The campaign was ok and overall the game is a nice purchase. I recommend this to people who like 3rd person games.

Well first the campaign is great it featured new awesome creatures that were weird looking but awesome! the storyline was pretty good(rating) 10..now multiplayer is a bit hard because of how long it takes to kill the enemies unless you saw them plus they dodge the bullets which is annoying(rating)9.now beast mode the first couple of times i thought it was fun because i hadnt seen the last row of beasts ya its easy theres like 5 rows of beast i think 6 actually and theres like 4or5 five in each one actually theres 3 in one of themits easy but still fun cause if you have ever watched hulk 2 the movie there is a enemy the big guy you can see in the picture below who is awesome to play as.anyway i give that a 9.5.now Horde Mode is a must play unbelievable build barriers kill beasts and have fun..me and my friend got to level 20or21 dont remember overall i say 9.4 out of 10.MUST BUY!

This is by far the best Gears of War game I have owned. The best part of it is the multiplayer beast mode. Finally you get to play as the locust and experience what it's like to be on the side of the Relentless Locust and their vast infantry. From ripping off limbs to impaling cogs with retro lancers Beast mode is the most appealing part of G.O.W 3. If you love gears and the locust Gears 3 is definately the right buy.

I say this the best game on Xbox 360. I'm not into the Halo stuff but they're ok but Gears of War 3 is my all time best right now, till I get Black Ops 2. Yeah the campaign could've been better, but the multiplayer can't be beat.

This game is amazing. I got the epic edition on launch day (9/20/11) and have still been having a great time playing it. The campain is awesome. The multiplayer is fun though some of the guns are over powered but not that over powered. Beast mode is a great addition to the game and Horde mode is better than ever with the new stuff added to it. Over all this game gets a ten in my book.

A great storyline with all the expected glowie smashing and lambent stomping fun of the previous games. Would have liked to see a few new weapons but all the old favorites are still there like the mulcher. The bow is a great weapon too. If you liked the previous Gears, this one won't disappoint.

My 10 yr old really liked playing this over the Black Ops due to you get assigned actual quests/missions and your not just walking around shooting at people. He didnt play online, just with a second player and by himself. If you have younger boys and not sure about the harder Black Ops, try this one for them, i think they might enjoy it

great story, tons of fun to play. epic conclusion that any fan of the series will feel.
horde mode is better than ever with smarter more challenging enemies than before.
multiplayer is really fun, where wits and strategy are important to being skilled as opposed to other shooters where just spray and pray are the way to go. definitely recommended for the smarter gamer.

This game is great,Has a good story line this time. Love the Co-op play so you can play with your buddy's on Xbox live. If you don't use a HDMI cable to play games with the Xbox 360 "GET ONE" the Graphics are really amazing. One of the best parts is that you can play Campaign, Horde & Best mode on "ARCADE", Adds competition, scoring & "RANK" to the standard campaign experience. More points you get the more stuff you unlock like, weapon skins, characters in the game and achievements.
TIP: The best way to lvl fast on Xbox live is to play horde and the campaign a lot on both "ARCADE MODE".
Some times on Holiday or special Events in the game like. Your head a bunny on Easter weekend. You get gun skins on Halloween and one time your head 20x bigger then it should be lol. A lot of fun stuff they place in the game to make the game a little more fun for every one to enjoy.
Versus mode, Team DeathMatch has skill players and pro gamers. Best thing to do is play Horde mode and play "Campaign" to get use of the game play or you will die "A LOT"
"HORDE MODE" is really fun, You fight wave after wave Killing locust horde with up to 4 other co-op players. There are 50 waves, you can chose what wave number you like and what map to chose on Private.
"BEST MODE" is not really that great it's all most like Horde mode but, not a hole lot of players like because it only have 12 wave only but it's fun if you like to play the Locust side and see how they play. The mode is so different the Horde mode. You have to buy each horde you chose and the COG has vences up at the beginning.
