Review
This is the final installment of the Gears of War franchise. These games have been both praised and scrutinized for the multiplayer. The praise comes from the unique experience of the multiplayer itself. The over the shoulder, third person sets it apart from the typical first person shooter. The scrutiny comes from the amount of lag and glitches in the game. This is the first game to have dedicated servers and it shows. The gameplay is much smoother than the previous two games. Glitching is not as big of a problem in this game as the other two as well. This makes for probably the best multiplayer experience that this franchise has offered up. Naturally, there are players who dislike the multiplayer for a number of reasons, but it most likely boils down to refusal to get as good at the new game as they were with the older ones. The campaign is about as long as the others with a little more substance. The ability to play a 4-player cooperative is a bonus. However, the campaign is not the main reason people will be playing this game. Finally, the achievements seem a little desperate to keep people playing. This is a little understandable since it is the final game. The Seriously 3.0 is a little out of reach of casual gamers who cannot invest hours upon hours on a single game. Epic Games did a good job with this game though, and it is a nice conclusion to a great franchise.
