Gears of War was literally the best game on Xbox 360, up until Halo 3 came out. The storyline is amazing, the graphics are truly next gen, and the A.I. is actually intelligent.
The gameplay is excellent. The A button does it all, it takes cover, ducks, does roll dodges, swat turns, and etc. It's basically the survival button. There is very few lag in the game, no glitches that i have found, and from what i hear online is pretty kickass. This game is all about cover, without using it you die. The chainsaw bayonet never gets boring at all. You run up to an enemy and hold down the B button to rev up the saw, lots of fun. You can stick you enemies with grenades and they explode into pieces, literally. You can curbstomp people, and within 3 feet with a shotgun blast, your enemy get torn apart literally. When I mean literally, I mean it, this is the goriest, most bloody game ever. Heads blow off, guts come out, limbs are all over the floor. For those that say gameplay has been sacrificed for graphics, they are wrong.
These graphics are truly next gen, the gore looks realistic, the shading is magnificent, everything, and I mean everything is VERY detailed. Faces, clothing, guns, cars, you name it. On a standard T.V. it feels like you're playing on HD, on HD it look even better.
The storyline is very well and planned out. You are Marcus Fenix, a decorated war hero. The Pendulum Wars have ended. The planet Sera now enters a time of peace and prosperity. Until the locust attacked. They emerged in large forces from the ground to launch a surprise attack. They killed the humans ruthlessly, men, women and children. 14 years later, you and what's left on the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) are going to make a last stand against the Locust Horde, you will attack at the heart of the enemy. This game is a must have.

Gears of war is a very good game. There were some frustrations I had with it though. I dislike how you have to use the A button to get around everything. It becomes painstaking at times to constantly be moving andhaving to hop over every single wall and barrier, but first have to latch yourself onto it. The graphics are this point while they are good aren't as good as COD4, Halo3, BioShock or any computer game released recently. The game does have the disadvantage of being released almost a year before those games though. Overall though, I agree.
A great game, but unless you have multiplayer, there isn't anything to do after you've finished the single-player campaign.
