Gears of War 3 reviews are rolling in...

As the title says really

Gets an 8/10 over at Eurogamer, doesnt really read like an 8 with the main gripe being some issues with the single player showing its age.

Gametrailers.com have the video review which gives it a 9.4. I watched the review and the amount of content that comes with this game looks huge, I think we could be playing this one for a while

Matt

The first 10 Minutes and some other videos can be found over at Gamersyde. Im gonna be good though and not watch

Matt

Damn, bear me rto the punch :p

Seems to be reviewing aswell as the second game, in all honesty though I would be getting it regardless of scores just to see out the trilogy......that and I've played Beast mode and know how awesome that's gonna be:)

Sorry mate! I would be the same mate, want to play the game regardless of the scores

Matt

haha don't worry about it mate the more news the better

Metacritic average for this is high already. I think EG's review is the lowest so far and while I daresay some of the observations are valid the review didnt read like an 8 and with the game offering a lot of value in terms of single and multi player it surely is looking a safe bet for money well spent

Amen to that. I couldnt believe the amount of content there is.

Matt

does anyone know if the campaign will be drop in/drop out coop like vegas 2?

Not sure tbh Andy, I don't see why not though - it might be as fluid as say Borderlands but it will need to be fairly flexible with it being 4 player co-op

Just noticed that shopto are 'processing' my preorder and I have been given my Baird mp skin code so fingers crossed it arrives a little earlier than Tuesday

Yep, have had an email from Shopto today, so hopefully my copy turns up early

started watching the vids but decided to wait. Looking freeking fantastic though!!

just ordered via the shopto link. may have to have an early start on tuesday and finish at 1100

You could have it by Saturday those with Shopto pre-orders! Damn all those Gamestation vouchers I've got

Matt

i'm going to have to buy this arent I!!!

Please please please

I still need to complete the first one, play the second on single player and now there's a third!!!!!!

Happy to run through them with you mate - that's unless you are pissed as you were when we tried to play through Gears 1 lol

Looks like its gonna keep us entertained for months to come. Get it marky!!

3 of us can drag you through it

Just checked Shopto, and they started processing the pre-orders for this yesterday due to the high demand, with a view to posting them on Saturday. There is a possibility then that some people may get the game on Monday

That's good for a few of yer then

Matt

Defo will pick it up on release. If only to see Andy drag me through it.

quick review so far - more of the same gameplay as 1 and 2, some cool new weapons and a few nice twists with the beasties.
however, storywise i have been sucked right into this one, so much so that i have just cried with actual sadness - a very powerful punch is given during the campain!

Look forward to that then. I do like a good story
