Throw away your predefined notions of what a 3^rd person action shooter is all about because Gears of War breaks the paradigm in half and then some! This game is not catering to pansies. It’s all Balls to the Wall! Gears is unforgiving and will have you crying for mommy dearest until you realize that it’s as much about taking cover as it is about blasting your opponents into smithereens! Gears requires some serious strategy and supernatural hand-eye coordination.  If you want one of the coolest action games with the BEST graphics around, look no further my friend… look no further. This game IS Next-Gen and proof that the Unreal 3 Engine is a beast!
