Is it really that good? Maybe I'll have to rebuy another xbox 360 just for this game

I love the game... I do wish they made the online interface a little bit more similar to halo 2 (With partys and what not) but it's great... not ot mention halo 3 is coming soon making your 360 purchase worth it -_-.

Just picked mine up today! Really good!

I almost poo'ed myself in several parts.

+ i love the chainsaw blood effect :D

Man, those Bezerkers scared the crap outta me, i'm running from that thing like crazy. There were times i was so scared - imagine playing in the dark on a big screen with 7.1 surround sounds and you hear these crazy noises all around ya. LOL

Yeah, i say the game is just great.... it's gonna be the first game i finish on the 360. I have other games but those are in their cases for now. I'm at the final boss now and still not getting the kill. Gotta figure that one out some more after work. He's a tough one but not that tough, i'm only a playing on Casual too, i can't imagine this on Hardcore or Insane!

I just got my copy a couple of days ago.

To be honest, when the first level started up I was like... geez.. why the hype. I just didn't find the graphics to initially be any better than other 360 titles out there- you have to remember though that the 360 sets a very high graphics bar! There are some amazing looking games out there for it.

Then in the evening I was playing the co-op with a friend- unbelievable fun. He is like a big Nintendo fan, doesn't really get into 'hard core' games. His first reaction to GOW was like that is was a bit juvenile with the silly over the top characters that look like they belong in a WWF game. That all dissipated rapidly after we progressed a bit. Co-op is just so much fun. We both arn't really into first person shooters. I find the 3rd person style of GOW pulls you far more into the experience than a 1st person does. After a few of the big gun fights we both just sat back and it was like WOW... I am almost shaking! LOL

Now, later levels really just smack my earlier opinion about the graphics into the sand! The 'downpour' level and the caverns really just make you gape in awe at what the console is capable of. I can't wait to see the later levels.

To conclude. I really love this game! It definately sets a new graphics bar for the 360 (which is saying something in the first place!) and the gameplay is just plain fun. If you have a 360 then it is just criminal to not give this game a go even if you arn't into first person shooters*.

I was planning to get one again when they get the new fabrication process 65mn cpus's, and I've also heard rumors of a black x360 . . thats why I was planning to wait. Also likely around the same time halo 3 comes out.

But after reading all the good reviews, and seeing that awesome "mad world" trailer, I just might have to get a new xbox now, and worry about getting a black one later

I can't wait to get my HDTV this Friday, Gears looked beautiful on SDTV, HDTV and I'll probably wet my pants...

The only thing I didn't like was the shortness, I think they should have tweaked the difficulty between the two easiest which would have made the game a few more hours long...

For comparison, does anyone know the preorder numbers versus Halo 2 and the ammount of time it took for Halo 2 to get to 1 million copies, or how many copies it sold in it's first two weeks?

^ All I know is there were a whopping 2.4 million copies of Halo 2 sold in its first 24 hours of being released.

(That's also why I believe Halo 3 won't be out until next November when there's a much larger userbase to sell the game to. *hides*)

So far I've only encountered one Berserker, but that scared me! Luring it out into the courtyard was a pain too >.< I was so scared of it attacking me :laugh: ... I'm on chapter 3 now ... few more days and i should be done

:D

Had it for a few days, pure class. I'm a bit crap though lol

Same here, hahaha. I've had it since release and I haven't completed Act 1 yet (on Hardcore). Granted, I only get to play 30 minutes or so here and there due to work and school demands but still. And Ihaven't even gone online with it yet as I fear for my life! I remember when I first got GRAW I jumped right into a Live game and got popped 3 times in less than 30 seconds. I never did go back.

Anyway, if any of you want to join up in co-op or a match let me know. Gamertag below!
