gears of warfor PC and X360 is another game from the creators of the legendary Unreal series. Unlike Unreal Tournament and Unreal Championship, the developers decided to focus on the single-player campaign.
However, there is a multiplayer mode that offers an interesting cooperation mode, for example. This third-person perspective game combines the best elements of action games along with survival horror aspects, making it in some ways similar to Doom 3 and the memorable System Shock series.
Tactics are an essential element of the game; The tactical cover system allows you to take cover during firefights. Although the arsenal seems quite conventional (assault rifles, shotguns, grenades, etc.), the game maintains a futuristic style. The action takes place on Sera, a planet similar to Earth.
You play as Marcus Fenix, who wears heavy combat armor that makes him unable to run like a speedster, so frontal attacks and constant running are out of the question. However, direct contact with the enemy allows physical violence to be used. The action occurs both day and night.
From a technical point of view, Gears of War features high-quality 3D graphics powered by the third generation of Unreal Engine. It not only generates convincing interiors and enclosed spaces, but also renders vast open areas in real time. Additionally, the AI of both enemies and your allies is very good.
